General site condition
The area of the Jewish cemetery is significantly larger than what is marked on the 19th-century map. Jews from Dombóvár were also buried here. The southern part of the cemetery is wooded, and the graves there are more widely spaced. As one moves northward, where the trees disappear, numerous graves arranged in dense rows come into view. There used to be a fence, but it has fallen into disrepair.
