19 teams, two hours and one grave: Hungary organizes unusual competition to find the best gravedigger

SOL7 September 2026 at 14:32

Nineteen gravedigger teams participated in an unusual competition held in Hungary, in the town of Nyergesújfalu. Each team was composed of two people, who had just over an hour to complete the proposed challenge.

The contest consisted of digging a grave with strict and predefined dimensions, testing the precision and efficiency of the participants. A jury evaluated not only the execution time, but also the quality and accuracy of the final result.

This type of competition, although unusual, allows professionals in the field to demonstrate their technical skills and professionalism in an activity that requires great physical effort and attention to detail.
