Geocache Description:

[SK] Táto kaška vás zavedie na vrchol Predného Cebrata, vrchu v tvare pyramídy týciaceho sa nad Ružomberkom. Odmenou vám bude nádherný výhlad na mesto a okolie ako i dokonalý prehlad o všetkých kaškách.

[EN] This cache will lead you to the top of the Predny Cebrat - a pyramidal hill above Ruzomberok. You will be rewarded by a beautiful view on the town and all its caches .


[SK]
Predný Cebrat (945 m.n.m.) je najznámejšou prírodnou dominantou Ružomberka, fotbaloví reportéri, ktorým sa výraz "ružomberský tím" zrejme zdá príliš fádny, nepovedia už inak ako "tím spod Cebrata".

Na vrchol vedie cervenou znacený turistický chodník zacínajúci na stanici. Tabula hovorí, že to je prechádzka na 90 minút, ale mojim lenivým nohám to rozhodne zaberie tak 2 hodiny... Spociatku vás povedie popri Váhu, ale už za štvrt hodiny sa budete šplhat do zväcša zalesneného úbocia. Odporúcam dávat pozor na znacky, chodník nie je najmladší, dost casto sa podarí stratit znacku i miestnym a cesta priamo za šípkou skutocne nevedie. Aspon teda bez patricného vybavenia nie :-). (Kvôli stavu znacenia zvyšujem nárocnost terénu o 1/2)
V záverecnej casti výstupu sa vám zacnú otvárat výhlady najprv na západný Ružomberok a po poslednom stupáku už odlesnenou castou sa pod vašimi unavenými nohami objaví skoro celý Ružomberok. Nezabudnite si so sebou dalekohlad, možno sa vám podarí niekoho prichytit pri hladaní pokladu templárov :-).

Pre motorizovaných kacerov je tu druhá - kratšia možnost výstupu. Autom sa môžete vyviezt až na úbocie Cebrata nad Likavkou (waypoint BEGIN2) a pokracovat odtial (samozrejme už pešo) lesnou cestou do kopca až na križovatku so znacenou cestou (waypoint CROSS). Tu odbocíte z lesnej cesty doprava a pokracujete dalej podla znaciek.

Samotnú kašku nájdete nedaleko vyhliadky pri neznacenom chodníku, ktorý pokracuje dalej na Zadný Cebrat (1054 m.n.m.). Ten je však už úplne zalesnený a žiadnu vyhliadku tu nenájdeme, i ked prechádzka to je príjemná...

Pri odlovení nie je potrebná žiadna enormá opatrnost, zväcša budete na vrchole sami, v zime však prosím trochu zastierat stopy, v snehu všetko vidno. Nech tam neostane oci kolúca geodialnica ku kaške :-).

Predny Cebrat (945 m.a.s.l., 3100 ft.a.s.l.) is the best known natural view point in Ruzomberok.

There is a red marked trail leading to the summit, it starts at the railway station (check out the BEGIN waypoint and picture). Slovakia uses the same marking system like Czech Republic, just follow these signs:

Red marking
- don't loose it
Branch in trail
- follow the arrow

The information panel says that the hike takes 90 minutes, but my lazy feet always need 2 hours... First few hundred meters will lead you along the Vah river, but already in a quarter of hour you'll find yourself climbing the woody hill-side of Cebrat. I recommend to pay attention on the marking, the trail is already quite long in service and even the locals happen to loose the trail sometimes. And there is really no trail in the direction the arrow of your GPS device points. Or at least not without a proper equipment :-). (Because of the poor condition of the marking I added 1/2 to terrain difficulty)
In the final part of the hike the forrest gets thin and makes way for the first views on the western part of Ruzomberok and after climbing the last slope you have almost the whole Ruzomberok under your weary feet. Don't forget to take your binoculars, perhaps you'll catch up somebody searching the treasure of templars. :-).

There is a second possibility for car-enabled cachers. ;-) Leave the car on the hillside above Likavka village (waypoint BEGIN2). From this point continue walking on the forest road to the crossing with the red-marked trail (waypoint CROSS). Leave the forest road here, turn right and follow the red marking.

The cache itself is hidden not far off the top near the trail leading to Zadny Cebrat (1054 m.a.s.l., 3458 ft.a.s.l.). This trail is also very nice, however there is no view there, because the top is completely forested.

Usually there is no special stealth needed, you'll be most probably alone up there, I just bid you to cover you track in winter a bit. Just don't leave there an obvious trail spoiling the cache, the snow reveals everything :-).
