The Austrian authorities created the burial grounds between 1915 and 1918.  The war cemetery on Mt Rotunda is Number 51. Some consider it the most beautiful of its kind out of the, almost 400 scattered throughout southern Poland. Getting to the cemetery is not easy. The monument is hidden among the trees, at the top of Mt Rotunda. Butthe cemetery's aura and the setting it's in makes the necropolis all the more intriguingand mysterious. Once you reach it, you see a stone wall that encircles the cemetery within it. The main element of the cemetery consists of 5 towers topped with crosses with semicircular roofs, maintained in the Lemko style. The tallest structure is 16 metres high, and the others are 12 metres high. A plaque with an engraved Maltese cross and an inscription in German, authored by Hans Hauptmann, reads on the front plinth wall of the central tower: 'Don't cry that we lie so far away from the people, And storms have already battered us more than once. After all, the sun wakes us up earlier every morning here. And he covers beforehand with the purple of his glory.' There are 42 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army and 12 Russians buried in 20 single and four mass graves.
