The cemetery of Obory

The place marked as a cemetery on old maps is located in the wood south of the village road. A forest lane leads to the place. At first sight there seems to be nothing that would point to a cemetery or graves. The wood at this place looks much like the surrounding forest. Only some older trees can be found among the not very old Pinewood. Several about 2 meters deep ditches and wide holes can be found, located without any recognizable structure. Maybe these have been military trenches. If this is a military cemetery it must go back to WW I, since the place is marked on 1930 maps.
