Exact coordinates

1.Small town in Lublin province, ~45 km north of Lublin and ~110 km southeast of Warsaw; reach by car.
2.The cemetery sits ~1 km NE of the market square among the fields; the Morgensztern (Kotzk) dynasty ohel is the main pilgrimage focus.
3.Kock was the seat of the Kotzk Hasidic dynasty founded by the Kotzker Rebbe.
4.The ohel is the Morgenstern family's rather than one kever — the Kotzker was the first buried in it and the rebbes after him were laid there too.

The cemetery has a metal fence with a lockable gate; a brick ohel stands over the Kotzker Rebbe's grave. The gate is kept locked — arrange with the local caretaker who holds the key.
