Military Cemetery on Mountain Shovb (1,144 m)

Military Cemetery

Perched on the Main Carpathian Ridge (1144 m), this military cemetery presents a significant accessibility challenge as it can be reached only on foot. Information on restoration efforts is limited. The remoteness and difficulty of accessibility of the location contributed to its preservation and protection from major damage, but on the other hand, it also hinders regular maintenance. 18 World War I soldiers (11 identified), who died in battles between February and April 1915, are buried in 17 graves: 14 German, 2 Austro-Hungarian and 1 of the Russian Army.
