Petrikov Multi-cache

Petrikov je osada lezici v severni casti Olomouckeho kraje v okrese Jesenik. Je soucasti obce Ostruzna a lezi v 740-950 m.n.m. Petrikov byl zalozen roku 1617 jako tezebni oblast pyritu a tuhy. V roce 1677 zde bydlelo 12 obyvatel. V roce 1900 jich bylo jiz 207. Pri poslednim scitani, ktere bylo roku 1991, bylo zjisteno 16 osob v 5ti trvale obydlenych domech.
Ve druhe polovine 19. stoleti zde fungovala jedina vyrobna zinkovych barev v tehdejsim Rakousko-Uhersku. Zdejsi rozlehle lesy byly majetkem Kolstejnskeho velkostatku. V mezivalecnem obdobi pecoval o 900 hektaru lesa statni revir. V roce 1854 zacalo skolni vyucovani v soukromych domech v Petrikove a v roce 1915 zde byla postavena skolni budova. K nemeckym skolam v obou vesnicich pribyly po roce 1918 ceske mensinove skoly, ale po roce 1938 byly uzavreny. Dnes uz tu zadna skola nestoji.
Dalsi zajimavosti je mistni kostelicek, ktery je zasvedcen svatemu Vavrincovi a nedavno oslavil krasne kulatiny.
V zimnim obdobi je zde denne nekolikatisicova navstevnost, protoze Petrikov patri k velmi atraktivnim zimnim strediskum.

V zimni sezone je do obce zakaz vjezdu. Parkovat lze tedy na souradnicich:

Neco o samotne kesce

Startovni souradnice Vas zavedou na zacatek vesnice, kde si opiste nadmorskou vysku ABC obce Petrikov. Pokracujte dale do vesnice, kde si zapiste pocet kmenu stromu D tvorici "vstupni branu". Dale projdete vesnicku temer az nakonec, kde po leve strane uvidite kostelicek. Nad jeho vstupem je uveden letopocet EFGH kdy byl postaven. Jiz jste temer na konci vesnice. Doporucuji si ji projit az do konce, mozna Vas tam ceka nejake prekvapeni.

Cilove souradnice spocitate pomoci vzorecku:

E 17° KL.M'

I=A+B
J=(F*A*B*D)-(A*C+B)*7
K=G*F
L=A-C+E
M=J+(C*D)-(H+E)

Ke kesce se prosim chovejte opatrne, at tam vydrzi i pro dalsi kacery. Diky a preji hodne radostnych zazitku pri geocachingu.

The village of Petrikov lies in the north part of the region of Olomouc, in the district of Jesenik. It is a part of the village of Ostružná and it lies in 740-950 metres above the sea level. Petrikov was found in 1617 as a mining area of pyrite and graphite. In 1677 it had 12 inhabitants. In 1900 there already were 207 inhbitants. With The last population census which was held in 1991 there were 16 people living in 5 permanently inhabited houses.
In the second part ot the 19th century there was the only manufactory of zink paint in Austria-Hungary at that time. The great local forrests belonged to the possessions of the Kolstejn manor. In the interwar Period state foresters took care of these 900 hectares of forrests. The first school education was organised in private houses in Petrikov in 1854 and in 1915 the first school building was built there. Except the two German schools in both villages there were also Czech minority schools built in 1918 But after 1938 they were shut down. There is not any school there nowadays. Another matter of interest is the local chapel which is devoted to St. Lawrenc and recently there is an important anniversary of the foundation of the chapel.
In winter thousands of people visit Petrikov every day, because it is one of the most attractive ski resorts.

In winter it is banned to go to the village by car, so you can park your car at these coordinates: N 050°11.749 E 017°03.158 .

About cache

The starting coordinates will take you to the beggining of the village where you can copy the altitude (the elevation above the sea level) ABC of Petrikov. Continue walking towards the village where you should note down the number of tree trunks D which create the entrance gateway of the willage. Then you go through the village almost to the end, where there is a chapel on the left side. There is a date of the foundation of the chapel EFGH written above the entrance. You are now almost at the end of the village. I highly recommend you to go to the end, there may be a surprise for you.

You can work out the final coordinates according to this figure:
N 50° I.J'
E 17° KL.M'

I=A+B
J=(F*A*B*D)-(A*C+B)*7
K=G*F
L=A-C+E
M=J+(C*D)-(H+E)

Please be careful with the cache so that it lasts for other cachers. Thank you and have a wonderfull time when geocaching.
