Point of interest- Kimle - Carved stations on the Chestnut Row leading to the Croatian Cemetery

One of the most striking sights in the village is the row of chestnut trees leading to the cemetery, which is considered one of the most beautiful military monuments in the area. The chestnut trees here were planted in 1932 in memory of local soldiers who died in the First World War.

The names of the heroes are on a plaque on the church wall. In the early 1990s, carved wooden stations were erected between the saplings, which have since grown into huge trees. The joint creation of István Krepsz and András Balázs was consecrated in 1993 by Bishop Lajos Pápai.
