"Bus couldn't approach... had to stop at we had to walk about 15 min uphill path... the route is on google maps walk.... hatzlocha"
Simcha Bamberger
"A Jewish cemetery dating back to the 15th century. Unfortunately, access is not possible because the gate at the entrance is locked. It's located very remotely between forest and fields. It's somewhat like a glimpse into the past when you stand there and look through the bars at the graves. One wonders how strong the hatred of Jews was back then, given that the cemetery is so far from the city, in the middle of nowhere."
Mc Lovin
"A very atmospheric lost place near Aschaffenburg in the Spessart region. Unfortunately, the cemetery is completely walled off and closed. It's unclear when and if it's open. Through the gate, you can see some beautiful scenes."
