The cemetery of RakowoThe cemetery of Rakowo is located between the road running along the Vistula and the embankment. Jerzy Szałygin mentions a cemetery in Drwały and describes it's location so that it could match with the Lutheran cemetery of Rakowo. However he says that there are no graves found at the Drwały cemetery. When I was looking for the Rakowo cemetery I drove to the embankment and looked from up there for any signs of the cemetery. Near the location that the map indicated there were two places with bigger trees, separated by a meadow. I decided for the place on the eastern side, because it showed the bigger and more significant trees. While creeping through the bushes of this place I got more and more convinced that it was some kind of unusual place since the ground showed some kind of structure with different levels. But there were no graves. So I also checked the not so promising place on the western side of the meadow and there I found the graves. I found a stone cross in good shape and two iron crosses with inscriptions. Learn more about the location of the cemetery. Source information for this cemetery was found in: Szałygin 2004.
