ground
During the 19th century Sweden suffered from several cholera
epidemis. Blekinge was relatively spared from the first cholera
year in 1834. While, in the contrary, the epidemis in 1853-55 had a
violent course. The number of deaths was large. A rough estimate of
victims says only in the neiberhod here, ther was 3-400.
Burial was, because of the risk of contamination, not allowed to
take place in ordinary cemetery, but in special, often peripheral
located places, established for the cholera victims.
The symptoms’ of this very bad sickness is very intense
diaharrea, muscelcramp, and “blue skin “. Dehydration
and loss of antigens , resulted in death in a few days. At this
time no effective medicine existed. .
Here you can see the entrance to the easterly waypoint
“Cholera grave”.
Here you can also see, besides, a beautiful place, old
graveyards, 1500-1000 years old.
Cache is a 1,5 liter box width log, pen and some fun stuff.
