Alternate name: Alt Lublau in German. Stara Lubovna is located in Stara Lubovna, NE of Poprad. The isolated urban hillside has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all via a broken fence and a non-locking gate. 20-100 19th-20th century marble and limestone flat shaped stones, some with carved relief decorations, having Hebrew inscriptions are in original locations. Properties adjacent are agricultural and residential. Occasionally, private visitors stop. Non-Jewish local residents cleared vegetation and cleaned stones. Occasionally, individuals clean or clear the site. Within the cemetery is "a house above tombstone". There are no threats.
