Umag, small town and port on the north-western coast of Istria, presents 'Croatia’s gateway to Europe'. It also has the reputation of the Istrian sports centre, since as the host of the ATP tournament for many years now, it attracts numerous top world tennis players.
Its beneficial features were already recognized by the Romans who turned it into their summer residence. The magnificence and splendour of those times today is reflected in the many Venetian houses in the old part of Umag.
At a distance of only 40 kilometres from Trieste, 150 from Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia and 50 NM from Venice, Umag is a favourite holiday destination with extraordinary excursion possibilities. Umag’s hinterland offers newly discovered tourist attractions like mountaineering, caving, caching and other chances for adventure enthusiasts.
The cache is a short way through the old town of Umag. The questions are not very difficult, but sometimes you have to look faithful. The cache box itself is placed in a special location, I hope you won't get wet feet ;-). For the final a flashlight is recommended, but not a must-have.

Btw: This cache is not located in an Austrian or German country, there are many international visitors, so I think the German logs are impolite. I recommend to log in English language so nearly everyone is able to read your log. I appreciate your attention.
