Bystre nad Toplou is located NW of Vranov. The flat urban isolated location has no sign or marker. Reached by crossing private property, access is open to all via a broken masonry wall and a continuous fence with a locking gate. 20 to 100 19th-20th century gravestones, in original locations, are marble and sandstone flat shaped tombstones with inscriptions in Hebrew and German. Private individuals own property, now a garden. Adjacent properties are agricultural. Occasionally, private visitors stop. A regular caretaker clears vegetation. No threats.
