A graveless cemetery?
More than 100 grave crosses from five centuries can be found at the "Lustiger Friedhof" Humorous Graveless Cemetery in Kramsach. However, no one is buried here. The crosses come from Hans Guggenbergers' (a master stonemason and blacksmith) private collection.
This museum cemetery was created in 1965 following decades of collecting artefacts in the North Tyrol, South Tyrol, Salzburg and Bavaria.
The sayings and the crude and heartfelt wisdom on these jewels of time-honoured blacksmith's art are testimonies to the original folk humour in the Alpine regions of bygone days.
In this "cemetery without the dead", the visitor can reflect - and be amused - on the reconcilable nature of becoming and passing.
This unique cemetery celebrates blacksmith's handicraft tradition and the sense for local ties and is considered a worldwide rarity.
