US Commission No. SLCE000113

Sabova is located S of Rimavska Sobota. The isolated rural/agricultural hillside has no sign or marker. Reached by crossing a public field, access is open to all with no wall or gate. 20-100 marble, granite, and sandstone 18th-19th century flat shaped stones, finely smoothed and inscribed stones, or flat stones with carved relief decoration with Hebrew inscriptions, some with metal fences around graves, are in original locations. The property is presently used for waste dump or abandoned [unclear]. Adjacent properties are agricultural. Local visitors visit the cemetery rarely. Vegetation is a moderate threat, disturbing graves; vandalism is a serious threat.
