Geocache Description:

Ciucarul Mare is a small mountain / plateu on the river Danube. It is a flat mounain, with very steep slopes on the Danube side. From the top you can see the Danube's Gorges - The Boiling Pots, as well as the steep high mountains on the Serbian Side.

 

 


Hiking starts in Dubova village. The trail is marked with an yellow triangle and it begins with a quite steep climb (on a mud path, not dangerous). You will have to keep walking straight ahead untill you reach the first viewpoint - just above the Big Boiling Pot. From there the path goes to the left (there is an arrow and also the yellow triangle) and it follows the rocky steep side of the mountain, offering great views at every step. Eventually you will reach the last viewpoint, over the Dubova Gulf, where the geocache is located.

To find the geocache, when looking at the gulf, to your right there is a small path (see photo) with a huge rock on the left. The cache is under the rock, on the other side (spoiler picture).

After you have signed the book, please hide the cache carefully and pack it well. Please hide it well, so that future ecologisation of the area does not affect it. Also, we've left a small present, please take it only if you leave one in return.

Have fun and enjoy Romania!
