Myjava is located NE of Senica. The isolated urban hillside cemetery has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road and open with permission via a fence and a locking gate, 100-500 19th-20th century marble, granite, and sandstone flat shaped tombstones or double tombstones, with Hebrew and German inscriptions are in original locations. The site is Jewish cemetery only. Adjacent properties are residential. Private visitors visit occasionally. Restoration included re-erection of stones, cleaning stones, clearing vegetation, and fixing of fence. Individuals clean or clean occasionally. No threats. Weather erosion is a minor threat.
