Geocache Description:


[CZ]Nechte se zavést do kraje, kde sice nenajdete veliciny typu Pravcické brány nebo pohádkového zámku Neuschwansteinu, je tu však (narozdíl od jmenovaných) klid, mír a pohoda. A pokud vstoupíte s touhou naslouchat a videt, spatríte nádherné prírodní scenérie, projdete se srdcem ríše zdejší pocetné, ale plaché kamzicí kolonie a s trochou fantazie se prenesete do období nejvetší slávy tohoto kraje, kdy ve zdejších vesnickách do noci klapaly tkalcovské stavy, pro které si místní staveli krásné chalupy podstávkového typu. Jsou k videní už pouze tady na severu. Projdete krajem skláru, jejichž umení bylo možno sledovat ješte pred nekolika lety u pecí v Horní Chribské a to tak, že otevreným oknem prímo z ulice. Smeknete pred technickými finesami našich (ale zejména nemeckých) dedecku.
Putování, které vám nabízíme, je dlouhé cca 23 kilometru s celkovým prevýšením 550 metru. Pokud nejsou hory ukryty pod snehem, dá se absolvovat i na horském kole, kdy s výjimkou nekolika krátkých úseku, kde je vhodnejší z kola seskocit (zejména u finálové improvizace), vede prevážne po zpevnených cestách. Kdo si bude chtít vychutnat mírne zkrácenou peší verzi, muže vynechat stage 11 (tuto indicii hrave odhadneš), tedy kousek za pramenem to vzít pešinou do lesa a pak to strihnout loukama prímo za šipkou k hospudce Na Stodolci. Bacha na Kukuruzniky a Grippeny startující sporadicky z místního polního letištátka. Zážitky z této spojky mohou být umocneny i nabitými ohradníky.
K zaparkování doporucujeme plácek pred myslivnou U Sloupu, kde jsme zatím s autem nikdy nemeli problém a kde si zároven v místním Ícku mužete doplnit svou knihovnicku o zajímavé publikace a mapy. Po prohlídce interiéru jiste dostanete chut zajít do tohoto kraje i príšte a treba i s vypnutou GPS-kou.

Indicie na jednotlivých zastávkách jsou tvoreny plechovým štítkem, který je upevnen vždy na lidskou rukou vytvoreném díle. Nehledejte tedy pod kameny, v mechu ci kapradí ani vysoko ve stromoví. Stage jsou voleny tak, aby vás navedly na nejvhodnejší pešinu. Lužické perly jsou však poschovávány mezi zastávkami a musíte si je objevit sami. Budete procházet ci projíždet územím Národního parku Ceské Švýcarsko a CHKO Lužické hory, chovejte se prosím tiše a vlídne. A nezapomente si to tu v Lužickách nechat líbit.

Finálovka je umístena na souradnicích NAB CD,FGH E01J KL,MPR
Good Luck!


[EN]
Set out on a tour through a country, where, though you won't find landmarks of the Pravcicka gate or the fairy tale Neuschwanstein chateau types, you will find here (contrary to the above mentioned) serenity, peace and tranquility. And if you enter with the desire to hear and see, you will discover fascinating spectacles, take a walk through the heart of the kingdom of the local abundant, but timid chamois colony, and with a bit of phantasy will be carried back to the era of this region's greatest glory, when in local villages and hamlets weaving looms could be heard till late night, and for which the dwellers built beautiful semi-timbered houses. In fact, these vernacular monuments can be found only in North Bohemia, Upper Lusatia and Lower Silesia. Nowhere else. You will be passing through the country of glassmakers, whose artistry was still able to be observed only a few years back at a furnace in Horni Chribska, just by the means of one's looking through the open window right from the street. You will bow to our (but primarily German) grandfathers and to their technical finesses.
The wandering we offer you is about 23 kilometers long with the total elevation gain of about 550 metres. If the hills are not capped with snow, it's possible to make the trip also on a mountain bike, since except for a few short sections, where it's better to walk the bike (especially at the final improvisation), the route lies mostly on forest roads. Those who prefer to relish a slightly shortened hiking version can omit stage 11 (you'll easily guess this clue), that means they'll turn onto a forest trail shortly after passing a spring and then, following an arrow, will walk on through meadows to the Na Stodolci homestead. Just beware of Kukuruznik and Gripen aircrafts that sporadically take off from the local little airfield. Your experiences of this shortcut can be even amplified due to electric fences.
From our own experience, a good place to park is the ground next to the lodge at U Sloupu, where we've never had a problem with our car and where, at the same time, you can also expand your book case with interesting publications and maps from the local information centre. After an inspection of the interiors, you'll certainly feel like returning to this region again in the future, perhaps even without your GPS receiver.

The clues at the particular stops are made of metal tags, which are always fastened to man-made artifacts. Hence, you don't have to waste your time seeking under rocks, in the mosses and ferns, or high in the trees. The stages have all been made in such a way so as to guide you onto the best trail. However, Lusatian pearls are hiden in between stops and it's up to you to discover them for yourselves.
Since you will be passing through the Bohemian Switzerland National Park and Lusatian Mountains Landscape Protected Area, please keep silent and kind. And don't forget to have a great time!
