The ''Peksowy Brzyzek'' Cemetery

Town of Zakopane

The Old National Cemetery in Peksowy Brzyzek contains the graves of many famous peoples. One can find here the graves of such well-known personalities as Sabala, Stanislaw Marusarz, Tytus Chalubinski, Stanislaw Witkiewicz, and many others both from the early and modern history of Zakopane. The cemetery is worth seeing not only for the reason that it is a part of the history of Zakopane and the Podhale region. The other reason is that the graves, usually made in metal, stone and wood, decorated with the crosses and motifs typical of the Podhale region, are unique works of art. There is definitely some magic behind the Old Graveyard – the narrow paths, folkloric sculptures, the stone wall all around and the serenity of the site. It is a must on the tour of Zakopane.
