SKALICE Traditional Cache

SKALICE

V lesíku zvanom Prieseka, nedaleko od Skalíc sa nachádza slovanské pohrebisko (mohylník) s viacerými mohylnými navršeniami. V tejto oblasti sa uskutocnilo niekolko archeologických prieskumov. Napríklad v dokumente vydanom Považským múzeom v Žiline po tom, ako sa tu uskutocnili archeologické prieskumy roku 1961 sa píše : „V lese vášho chotára sa cca 200 metrov od brál na Skaliciach nachádza skupina staroslovienskych hrobov, pravdepodobne z doby velkomoravskej. Je to velmi vzácna pamiatka pre objasnenie dejín nášho kraja, lebo pochádzajú z doby z ktorej sa v našom kraji nezachovali nijaké knihy alebo iné písané pamiatky. V hroboch sa nachádzajú materiálne bezcenné pamiatky (crepy hrncov, uhlíky, zhrdzavené železné zlomky drobných úžitkových predmetov), z ktorých sa ale dá urcit doba vzniku hrobov.“ Územie obce bolo teda osídlené slovanským etnikom už dávno pred najstaršou písomnou zmienkou o obci, ktorá pochádza z roku 1397.

K samotnej cache: Cache Vás dovedie priamo ku skalným bralám. V detstve som sa na Skaliciach casto hrával s bratrancami a pamätám si toto miesto ako krásnu lúku, ktorú z troch strán obklopovali 3 mohutné skalné bralá, na ktoré sme sa šplhávali. Na skalu so slovenským dvojkrížom dokonca vedie zopár horolezeckých ciest, ktoré na prelome 80-90 rokov 20-eho storocia spravil miestny rodák Vinco Kolek. Dnes je okolie pomerne mohutne zalesnené a aj ked je centrálna lúka už ohradená, naokolo sa nachádzajú ohniská, kde si môžete poopekat slaninku. Napriek zalesneniu sú z vrcholov všetkých troch brál prekrásne výhlady na okolie.

Natural body Skalica is located in the village Dolny Moštenec. The village has a convenient traffic situation, since most frequently located close to the thrust transport (Bratislava, Kosice), which connects the east and west Slovakia. The nearest railway station in Považská Bystrica is located 4.6 km. The public bus service is bus no. 9 route Bystrica - Dolnyr Moštenec - Horny Moštenec. The fact that the proximity of the village was settled long ago demonstrated several archaeological finds. Significant archaeological finding a rock Skalica. In small and large shards found at these sites, it is considered that there was a settlement here as early as the late Stone Age . There were fortified fort here, which was located on a rocky ridge protected by a massive rampart. Noticeable scorch the embankment shows that seat forcibly disappeared. Oral tradition says the settlement mare, which apparently is on the site. Firebreaks called in the woods, not far from Skalice is Slavic burial. In this area, several archaeological surveys. For example, a document issued Povazske museum in Žilina after the archeological excavations carried out here in 1961 writes: "In your forest land area is about 200 meters from the cliffs of Skalica is a group of Slavic graves, probably of the Great Moravian period. It is a very rare sight to clarify the history of our region, because from the time of which survive in our region are no books or other written monuments. The graves are worthless material relics (fragments of pots, brushes, corroded iron fragments of small utilities), but which can be determined period of graves. "Territory of the village was thus settled Slavic ethnic group long before the oldest written record of the village, which comes of the 1397th.
Now very little to the cache: The cache will lead you directly to the rocky cliffs. In childhood I was often played with Skalica cousins and I remember this place as a beautiful meadow that surrounded on three sides by three massive rock cliffs, which we climbed. The rock with the Slovak double cross leads even some climbing routes at the turn 80-90 years 20-century has made the local native Vinco Kolek. Today it is quite heavily wooded surroundings, and even if it is already fenced central meadow, around the fireplace, where you can rosted bacon ?. Despite the afforestation of the highlights of the three cliffs wonderful views of the surroundings.
