Lonely Planet review

Northeast of the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz and behind the railway bridge is the New Jewish Cemetery, which is much larger than the Remuh Cemetery. It was established around 1800 and is the only burial place for Jews now in use in Kraków. There are some 9000 surviving tombstones (the oldest dating from the 1840s), some of which are of great beauty. In contrast to the manicured Remuh Cemetery, this one is completely unkempt and overgrown, which makes it an eerie and very sad sight.
