Really cool place.
This place was really done well. Although it made us a bit sad to see how these people were all killed. Unjustly as well. However that’s history. The flowers laid there were a nice touch and even notes from some of their ancestors. Good stop for sure.

Touching
The memorial is a touching tribute to the victims of the Witch Trials, created a few hundred years too late to help them! If you don’t know the history surrounding the event, you owe it to yourself to take a tour with a knowledgeable guide who can instill the real gravity of what occurred back then, otherwise it’s just a bunch of stones with names on it. The attached cemetery looks like it should be beautiful to spend time in, but apparently visitors have been causing too much troubles, so rather than walking through the cemetery however you’d like, you must stay on a path as you walk through , which Means you won’t be able to look at too many of the grave stones too closely. So, in closing: the memorial itself is nice and touching but the cemetery it abuts isn’t as spectacular a place to visit as it could have been. I get it - tourists cause damage. I just wish that maybe they would add kore pathways which would allow us closer views of many more of the memorials
