KIRKEBY CEMETERY (Island of Romo) Denmark

The island of Romo is situated off the west coast of Jutland, just north of the German frontier. It is connected by a causeway with the mainland. The nearest railway station is Steaerbaek. Kirkeby is on the east side of the island near its southern end. Follow the main road over the causeway to the traffic lights, turn left at the lights into Havnebyvet and the church is about 2 kilometres along here on the right.
