johnsakura Says: Located in front of the cemitery right near the towns old church museum. This is a small building made in wood and painted in white. The cemitery is not very big so I presume theres another one somewhere and that this one is maybe the old one.
In the winter all rivers get a very strong string of water. As i am very curious of course I wanted to go closer and closer and closer. 2 dangerous things:

2-all the way to get there was kind of tricky. i couldnt see where i was going because of 70cm of snow... i canot see if theres a bigger hole in the floor etc...
