PAID a return visit to the section of the Bischofsgrün Panormaweg that includes the cemetery of a former military hospital.
This time, instead of more-or-less just popping my head through the entrance, I walked round the cemetery.

The roundel at the bottom of the bell tower appears to list the number of soldiers from the town killed in each of those three wars |

"The stone tent of the dead soldiers" (a literal translation that probably does not capture the true spirit of the wording) |
