About this cemetery
The Symbolic Cemetery stands near Popradské Pleso in the High Tatras, at 1,525 metres beneath the rock wall of Ostrva. The idea of a memorial place for victims of the mountains came from the Czech painter Otakar Štáfl, and it was opened to the public in 1940. It holds more than 160 memorial plaques and about 50 hand-carved wooden crosses.
