Geocache Description:


Zvonenie zvonov je ten okamih, ked kazdy na chvilu spomali svoj krok a zapocuva sa. Okrem beznych zvonov na kostolnych veziach, ktore sa rozoznievaju kazdy den, su tiez zvony, ktorych zvonenie pocuva cela krajina. Kazdy zo zvonov v listingu je niecim unikatny a ich zvonenie dava vsednemu dnu nadych vynimocnosti. A dnes je aj tvoj vynimocny den, lebo sa mozes vrhnut do lustenia umiestnenia krabicky.
