Pęksowy Brzyzek National Cemetery in Zakopane, National cemetery in Zakopane, Poland.
The cemetery grounds contain approximately 500 graves with ornate tombstones and crosses spread across half a hectare near Koscieliska Street.
Established in 1850 after Jan Peksa donated land to the parish, this cemetery became the first burial ground in Zakopane under priest Jozef Stolarczyk's direction.
The cemetery serves as the final resting place for notable Polish mountaineers, artists, scientists, and writers who shaped the Tatra region's development.
Visitors need to pay an entrance fee, implemented since 2014, which supports the preservation and maintenance of the historical monuments within the grounds.
The name 'brzyzek' derives from local highlander dialect, referring to a section of land that slopes toward a river bank.
