Geocache Description:


Cache je umistena nedaleko unikatnich malych jeskynnich utvaru na pravém svahu udoli Ohre. Rika se jim Trpaslici diry nebo Skalky skritku. Cesta vede strmym svahem, ktery konci u skalni steny ze sopecnych ulozenin (tufu) s nekolika ovalnymi otvory. Ty prechazeji do prevazne nizkych a uzkych rourovitych dutin dlouhych od nekolika decimetru az po témer 8 m. Jejich puvod neni zcela jasny, ale vetšina odborniku se dnes priklani k nazoru, ze jde o dutiny vytvorené na miste, kde zhavé sopecné vrstvy „pohrbily“ kmeny tretihornich stromu (pro odborniky uvadime, ze jde o hrubé vulkanické brekcie v tretihornich sopecnych vyvrzeninach).

Podle nas je ovšem nejpravdepodobnejši nasledujici verze vzniku dutin: Kdysi davno v techto mistech zil pocetny narod skritku, ktery pomahal zdejšim chudym zemedelcum. Za odmenu skritci dostavali chleba. Lidé postupem casu zapominali na vdek a chleba, misto toho, aby jej dali skritkum, snedli sami. Skritkové se rozhodli, ze se odstehuji a opusti tento kraj. Pozadali proto mistniho prevoznika, aby je dopravil na druhou stranu reky Ohre. Mimo krale byli skritci neviditelni. Prevoznik cely den jezdil z jedné strany reky na druhou. Vecer se kral zeptal prevoznika, jestli chce byt posledni, kdo uvidi skritky v tomto kraji. Prevoznik byl zvedavy a tak kral porucil svym poddanym: “Cepicky dolu!“. Kam prevoznikovo oko dohlédlo, všude byly davy skritku. Od té doby nikdo skutecne skritky v techto mistech nevidel.

Cesta zacina na souradnicich N50° 14.629’ E 012° 59.497’. K vychozimu bodu se muzete dostat lodi, autem, autobusem, na kole i pešky. Kazdy geokacer oceni volbu vychoziho mista. Na ceduli naleznete udaj o nadmorské vyšce ve tvaru ABC m.n.m. Vypocitejte:
D=B+C
E=A+B-C

Pokracujte na N50° 14.EED’ E 012° 59.ECA’. Zde si mimo povesti a povidani o prirodnich zajimavostech povšimnete opet udaje o nadmorské vyšce ve tvaru ADF m.n.m. Vypocitejte:
G=F-A-C

Predposledni zastavka na N50° 14.DCG’ E 013° GG.1EG’ vas privede na misto s nadhernym vyhledem do udoli Ohre i na Šemnickou skalu. Spocitejte H betonovych sloupku u domecku vodarny. Pokud vodarna neni videt diky hustemu porostu, je tu nahradni ukol: kolik je svetovych stran = H ? Poslednimi cisly jsou:
J=H-2C
K=B-2A

Cache je umistena na souradnicich
N50° 14.HBE’ E 013° GJ.GJK’ (Souradnice umisteni, doufame, oceni kazdy geokacer!) Protoze se znacne zmenila krajina, umistil jsem kesku cca 5 kroku kolmym smerem od cesty k lesu na napadnejsi misto. Prosim o peclivou upravu mista do puvodniho stavu.

Neni treba šplhat, poklad je umisten nedaleko chranené pamatky Skalky skritku. Cache je tématicka, vkladejte, prosim, jen predmety, které souvisi s povesti o skalach (kamarady skritku, poklady – zlato a drahé kameni je vitano, aj.).

Cesta je dlouha priblizne 2.5 km s prevyšenim 220m. Cesta neni vhodna pro bezne cyklisty, ale schopni jedinci vybaveni vhodnym kolem ji zdolaji. Pokud v zimě není sníh, je přístupná i v zimě.

Waypoint 1 je u vchodu do jeskynky, kam doporucujeme se vplizit po ctyrech cca 10m a pak je mozno se vztycit a vyhlizet hornimi otvory ven. Baterka a pripadne provazek pro zmereni hloubky jeskyni se téz muzou hodit. Pozor na strmou stran kolem skalek!

The cache is places not so fare from unique small caves forms on the right side of river Ohre valley. They are called Dwarfs’ Caves. The way is steep uphill ending by rock cliff from volcanic sediments (tufus) with some circle holes. They changes shape to low and narrow pipe caverns long from few inches to more than 24 foots. The origin of this hole is not clear and more specialists are close to meaning that caverns were caused by trunks of trees overwhelmed by burning volcanic magma.

We are sure by different following explanation: One upon the time populous nation of dwarf lived here and helped resident pure farmers. The dwarfs were rewarded by bread. The farmers in course of time forgot the gratitude and the bread ate themselves. Dwarfs decided leave the county. They asked local ferryman to transport them to the other side of the river Ohre. All dwarfs except they king were invisible. The ferryman went all the day from one side of river to the other. The king asked ferryman in the evening whether he wonted to be the last seeing dwarfs in this county. The ferryman was wondering and the king enjoined to his vassals: “Caps down!” The uncountable crowd of dwarfs was seen as far as. No one dwarf has been seen there since those days.

You ought to start on N50° 14.629’ E 012° 59.497’. This starting point can be reached by boat, car, bus, bicycle and foot. Every geocacher surely will appreciate the choice of this point! Look for the altitude written on the label in the form ABC m.n.m. Count:
D=B+C
E=A+B-C

Continue on N50° 14.EED’ E 012° 59.ECA’. Here you can read the tale and nature interestingness but you have to pay attention again to the altitude ADF m.n.m. Count:
G=F-A-C

The last but one stage on N50° 14.DCG’ E 013° GG.1EG’ leads you to beautiful bird eye view to Ohre valley and the Semnicka Rock. Count H concrete columns near to the water-station. If the water-station is invisible, fill in this sentence: compass is primarily divided into the H cardinal points. The last numbers are
J=H-2C
K=B-2A

Cache is located on N50° 14.HBE’ E 013° GJ.GJK’ (We hope you will appreciate this coordinates.) The nature changes rapidly so I move the cache 5 stop deeper to forest from the way. The place is now more intuitive.

It is not necessary climb; cache is near to the protected nature sanctuary Skalky skritku (Dwarfs’ caves). Cache is dedicated to the dwarfs so insert only thinks connected to them or with the tale (their friends, treasure – the gold or silver is welcome, etc.).

The way is 1.5 miles long and total elevation is 660 foots. The way is not suitable for bikers except the advanced ones. In case of no snow is available in winter, too.

Waypoint #1 is close to caves entry and we strongly recommended going here on your hands and knees about 30 foots. Than you can take stand and look from some windows. The flashlight and some rope for measuring the caves deep might help. Be careful of the steep slope surrounding the caves.
