Harpyje jsou myticke bytosti anticke mytologie zobrazovane jako
ptaci s zenskou hlavou a poprsim. Jejich puvod saha k reckym bajim,
ve kterych se tyto bytosti objevuji. Nejznamejsi z nich je baje o
slepem Fineovi, kteremu harpyje kradly, odnasely a nicily vsechno
jidlo. Odtud take pochazi jejich recke jmeno, ktere vychazi ze
slova "uchvacovat".
Ve stredoveku se z nich pak staly zlovolne skodici bytosti a
dostaly se do mnoha pover a postupne se lehce menila take jejich
podoba - zacaly byt zobrazovany vyhradne s hlavami osklivych casto
take starych zen, obcas doplnenymi vyraznym nosem nebo zobakem.
Zminku o harpyjich pak najdeme take v Danteho Bozske komedii.
Obyvaji les ve druhem kruhu pekla, kde muci duse sebevrahu.
Harpyje jsou take nedilnou soucasti dnesni fantasy literatury, ve
ktere je jejich predstava konzistentni se zkazkami ve stredoveku.
Knihy a take pocitacove hry je zobrazuji jako zle bytosti. Jejich
sidla a hnizda byvaji umistena na stromech, nebo casteji na
osamocenych skalach cnicich nad okoli.
Hapies are mythological creatures from Greek mythology described as
birds with women's head and breast. They are mentioned in several
antient myths but they origin leads to the myth about Phineas.
Phineas was punished by Zeus and harpies were sent to steal, grab
and destroy all the food Phineas wanted to eat. From that myth
probably comes the greek name for those creatures that means "to
snatch".
Later in the Middle Ages was the picture of harpies slightly
changed. They played their roles in many superstitions and rumors
as the evil creatures. Also his look has changed and they were
describer always as ugly winged women with ugly old faces and
sometimes even with big noses or beaks. In Dante's Inferno they
stay in wood in the second ring of hell where the souls of people
who committed suicide are tortured.
Harpies belong also to the fantasy literature of today and they are
pictures consistently with the rumors of the Middle Ages. They are
always shown as the evil creatures living in the settlements or
often nests situated at the top of the trees or often isolated
rocks towering above their surroundings.
Zeleznice Hlucin - Petrkovice - Chalupki
Existence teto zeleznicni trate nebyla bohuzel prilis dlouha.
Stavba zapocala pred rokem 1920 a prvni cast (z Hlucina do
Petrkovic) byla dokoncena uz roku 1920, kdy na trat vyjel prvni
vlak. Puvodni plany o propojeni Petrkovic s tehdejsim Annabergem
(nynejsi polske Chalupki) nebyly nehjstastnejsi, ale presto byla
trat podle nich dokoncena. Mezi stanicemi Petrkovice - Chalupki
vsak nikdy nebyla zavedena pravidelna doprava. Naopak blizko byvale
nemocnice v Petrkovicich byla zrizena zastavka Petrkovice-doly.
Behem druhe svetove valky byla vetsi cast zeleznice znicena a
provoz pokracoval pouze mezi zastavkami Petrkovice-doly a Hlucin. V
50. letech pak byla zeleznice nahrazena tramvajovou dopravou z
Hlucina do Ostravy na Cerny potok. Tato tramvajova linka fungovala
az do roku 1982, kdy byl provoz linky ukoncen a trat rozebrana.
Zeleznicni nasep pak byl behem nekolika let upraven a na miste teto
zeleznicni trate vznikla rychlostni komunikace 56 z Ostravy do
Hlucina.
Jednou z dominant stare trate z Hlucina do Petrkovic byl bezesporu
ocelovy zeleznicni most postaveny pres udoli obce Petrkovice. Ten
byl sice ustupujici nemeckou armadou znicen, ale jeho pilire stoji
na svych mistech dodnes.
Railway Hlucin - Petrkovice - Chalupki
The existence of aforementioned railroad track unfortunately was
not too long. The building of the track begun befor 1920 and the
first part (from Hlucin to Petrkovice) was opened already in 1920.
The first plans for the connection of Hlucin (and Petrkovice) with
Annaberg (today called Chalupki) in Poland were not very eficient.
However, the railroad track has been finished but it was never used
for regular railway traffic. On the other hand a new train station
Petrkovice - doly (Petrkovice - mines) was build in the area behind
the former hospital in Petrkovice approximately in 1927.
The major part of the railway has been destroyed during the Second
World War and so the public (and goods) transport continued only
between Hlucin and Petrkovice - doly stations. The tram line has
been established between Hlucin and Cerny potok in Ostrava in the
fiftieth of the last century. This tramway line has been functional
until 1982 where the railway traffic between Hlucin and Petrkovice
has been stopped and railway track dismantled. The railway
embarkment has been adjusted in the following years and reused for
the road number 56 between Ostrava and Hlucin.
One of the dominants of the old railroad track from Hlucin to
Petrkovice was indeed the steel railway bridge situated over the
valley of Petrkovice village. The bridge itself was destroyed by
the retreating German army at the end of the Second World War but
the pillars of the bridge are still standing still in the middle of
Petrkovice village.

This hunt for this cache is on your own responsibility only.
Consider if you are experienced enought and if you have appropriate
equipment before you start.
Cache is placed at the top of one of the remaining pillars of the
destroyed steel bridge.
There's no owner's control of the geocachers logging the cache
possible due to actual geocaching rules. Despite this fact I would
like to ask you to play fair and log the cache only in case you
were able to get to the cache at the top of the pillar. Thank you.
Enjoy the cache :).
