Apart from the mounds, there's unfortunately not much to see of the graves... there isn't even a sign indicating their presence, they're easy to miss.

A bus stop-like shelter with a bench next to it... from up here you can see a small part of the Taschensee lake.

Insects move in here at regular intervals; it's nice that there are more and more such opportunities.
