At the centre is a large rectangular field covered with dark slag and stones, bordered by a low concrete pathway. Along one edge stretches a long, concrete museum building. The site is surrounded by forest displaying autumn colours – green, yellow, and orange. In the background, farmland, village buildings, and the horizon are visible under a blue sky with white clouds.
