The small chapel in Kamienne is very hard to get to. One has to hike through ubderbrush up a hill to get to it on yop of needing a off-road vehicle to get to what's left of the village. The few standing buildings are just used now for hunting cabins. The small cemetery in Kamienne has noe headstones but the graves are quite noticable. The rural families are poor, agriculture is rarely profitable and low icome makes it diffcult for farms to invest in from improvements.
