Description of the cemetery
The cemetery is located on the right side of the road leading from the roundabout in Gromnik to the town of Polichta. This route is also led by a red bicycle route to Sucha GĂłra [ . Two monuments are characteristic of this cemetery. One is set within the rectangular cemetery headquarters, in front of the gate, the second behind it and outside the fence. The first monument has a enclosed urn with laurel leaf motifs, the second one is a concrete one-armed Latin cross set on a step-shaped, three-stage pedestal. Looking from the road from the entrance to the cemetery, it seems that both monuments form a single entity ][ Roman Frodym, War Cemeteries from World War I on the TarnĂłw Land, Ruthenus Publishing House, Krosno 2003, pp. 92,93. ] .
