The cemetery is located southwest of the town of Pacov, approx. 2.5 km outside the town in a wooded area. Coming from road no. 19 (Jihlava-Tabor), turn towards Es, drive through the town and after approx. 5 km turn left onto a paved forest road (signpost). Park after approx. 400 m and after 50 m on foot on a small, unpaved forest road that turns off to the right (sign), you will find the POW cemetery on the left.
The 284 soldiers who died as prisoners of war during the Second World War were buried in individual graves. The cemetery, which in 1990 was still recognizable as a clearing with symbolic grave mounds, a few grave markers and a high birch cross in a tall spruce forest, has been preserved. The site was restored in 1996/1997 by levelling the graves and sowing the area with grass. A picket fence protects the prisoner of war cemetery. The names and dates of the dead are engraved in two granite pillar stones to the right and left of the high cross. The memorial message, also engraved in a granite stone, is located in front of the wooden high cross. The two grave fields to the right and left of the cemetery path, which was paved with local natural stones, are marked by groups of symbolic crosses. 284 fallen soldiers of the Second World War rest in the cemetery. The cemetery was dedicated on 20 September 1997.
