This cache has been archived.

Tetka Fretka: Jak jsem rekla, tak musim udelat. Keska byla trikrat vykradena, vzdy zmizela krabicka a vsechny hracky, ktere jsem tam prubezne doplnovala. Tentokrat zustal aspon logbuk, se kterym jsem nechala vnejsi schranku dozit. Vzhledem k tomu, ze se podoba rybnika a predevsim hraze velmi zmenila, musi krabicka pryc.

Diky vsem, kdo ji vylustili a nasli.

Geocache Description:


Tato cache je venovana Jane Austenove, jedne z nejznamejsich a nejvyznamejsich britskych autorek, jejiz romany jsou diky lehce ironizujicimu nadhedu oblibene a aktualni i v dnesni dobe.

Na uvodnich souradnicich cache nenajdete, ani kdyz se budete moc snazit a dlouho hledat. Zato tady muzete zaparkovat svuj geoautomobil. Dal uz musite po svych a urcite vas nenapadne jet autem pres louku...

Krabicku o rozmerech 11x14x20 cm jsme umistili kdesi pobliz rybniku Krisaku.

Kes byla v zari 2009 premistena, protoze ji kdosi vykradl. Bohuzel, v okoli pobiha tlupa nenechavych kluku, proto prosim do kese nedavejte TB a GC, mrzelo by me, kdyby se tam ztratily.

Doprava a pristup:
Az sem muzete dojet autobusem c. 4, ktery jezdi z Jablonce do Maxova (zastavka Horni Lucany, penzion). I pro cyklisty je keska pristupna, tesne kolem prochazi cyklostezka c. 3038. Nejblizsi turisticka trasa je modra cca 100 m od pocatecnich souradnic. Pristup je mozny i s kocarkem, i kdyz kolem rybnika to bude trochu narocnejsi. Vzhledem k nenarocnosti je cache vhodna i pro deti, mensi ale budou potrebovat doprovod, uz jen proto, aby neskoncily v rybnice pripadne nevlezly do bahna, ktereho je, jak rybnik vysycha a zmensuje se, v miste puvodni rozlohy dost. Cache je ale za normalnich okolnosti dostupna suchou nohou!
Fauna a flora Krisaku jsou chranene, proto se tam, prosim, nekoupejte. Ono stejne mezi temi vodnimi bylinkami – komu by se chtelo?

Souradnice ziskate po vylusteni kvizu, kterym si zopakujete neco malo skolni povinne cetby, pripadne provetrate google. Finalka neni od uvodnich souradnic vzdalena vic nez 300 m.

A ted k ukolu:
Rybnik Krisak byval v dobe sve nejvetsi slavy nekolikrat vetsi, nez je dnes. Mlade divky se svymi napadniky ci mlade pani se svymi choti se zde projizdeli na lodickach a v okoli travili dny svého volna. Krisak by pri trose fantazie mohl byt tim rybnikem, u ktereho pana Bingleyho ucil jeho pritel jak pozadat vysnenou divku o ruku (filmova verze Pychy a predsudku z r. 2005), pripadne ten rybnik, ve kterem se pan Darcy koupal v jedne z nejkouzelnejsich scen filmove verze Pychy a predsudku z roku 1995.

This cache is dedicate to Jane Austen, one of the most famous and influential British authors, whose novels have been popular till nowadays thanks to their slightly ironic perspective.

You won’t find the cache at the initial coordinates no matter how hard you‘ll try. You may park your car there, from there you’ll have to walk and under any circumstances you won’t drive your car across the field…

We’ve placed a lock’n’lock box 11x14x20 cm somewhere near the Krisak pond.

How to get there:
You can use the bus No. 4 from Jablonec to Maxov (bus stop Horni Lucany, penzion). If you are a cyclist, you can use the cycle track No. 3038. The closest touristic trail is the blue one, about one hundred meters from the initial coordinates. The cache is safe for little children, though they’ll need help with retrieving the cache and should be under supervision. The cache is not placed in the muddy area!
You are in a natural conservation area, the fauna and the plant kingdom of Krisak are protected; please do not swim in the pond!

You’ll obtain the final coordinates after solving the quiz.

And now for the task:
In the time of its greatest glory, he Krisak pond used to be several times larger than it is now. Young misses with their fiances, and married ladies with their husbands used to cruise the pond in little boats, and they used to spend their free time near the pond.
Using a little bit of imagination, instead of Krisak you could see the pond where Mr. Bingley’s friend was teaching his friend how to ask his beloved lady for her hand (the Pride and Prejudice movie version 2005); or it could be the pond into which Mr. Darcy jumped half clothed (one of the cutest moments of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice movie version).

Match a letter and number for every correct answer and then hurry for the box!
