The cemetery of Kępa Osnicka

The cemetery of Kępa Osnicka is situated in the northern part of the island. Huge trees point to the location within a meadow. There are two family graves with standing crosses and surrounding small pillars made of granite and an iron cross.

A bit north of the cemetery the remains of a house's basement can be found on a small artificial hill (Wurte) with a well beside it. Obviously the cemetery is flooded in times of Vistula high water.
