Balon is located in Dunajska Streda, S of the town. Last known Jewish burial was in 1919. The isolated rural (agricultural) flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by crossing a field, access is open to all without gate or walls. Two 20th century marble flat shaped tombstones in original location have metal fences around graves and Hebrew and Hungarian inscriptions. Adjacent properties are agricultural. The cemetery is visited rarely. No maintenance, care, or threats exist. [date-pre 1997]
