World War I Cemetery nr 368 in Limanowa-Jabłoniec

World War I Cemetery nr 368 in Limanowa-Jabłoniec, Military cemetery from World War I at Jabłoniec Hill in Limanowa, Poland.

Description

World War I Cemetery nr 368 in Limanowa-Jabłoniec is a burial ground holding 409 fallen soldiers in individual and mass graves on a hillside near Limanowa. An octagonal chapel with red-tiled roof stands at the center as the focal point of the site.

History

The cemetery was established following fighting in December 1914 during the Limanowa-Lapanow operation, when Hungarian hussars captured the hill and halted a Russian advance. It marks an important moment when this region became a turning point in the campaign.

Culture

The cemetery displays different cross types that reflect the soldiers' origins: Latin crosses mark Austrian graves while Orthodox crosses identify Russian ones. This distinction makes the diverse composition of the opposing armies visible to visitors.

Practical

The site sits at about 518 meters in elevation and requires climbing a steep, narrow road from the main highway. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and allow time for the uphill walk.

Did you know?

Near the cemetery stands a granite column honoring Captain Leonard von Thun und Hohenstein with his family coat of arms carved upon it. This memorial remembers a high-ranking officer who fell during the fighting for this ground.
