Svodin is located E of Nove Zamky. Last known Jewish burial was in 1937. The isolated rural/agricultural hillside has no sign or marker. Reached by crossing a country lane, access is open to all via a fence and non-locking gate. Present size of the cemetery is 30x15 meters. 20-100 19th-20th century marble and granite flat shaped stones, finely smoothed and inscribed stones, or double tombstones are in original locations. Inscriptions are Hebrew and Hungarian. The property is Jewish cemetery only. Adjacent properties are agricultural and forest. Occasionally, private visitors stop. Vandalism is a minor threat.
