Geocache Description:


[LV] Daugavas loku īpašo noskaņu jau izsenis bija pamanījuši ne vien gleznotāji, bet arī muižnieki, kas šeit būvēja savas miera ostas. Liecinieku par šejienes muižkungu gaitām nav palicis daudz – Daugavas ielejā vienīgais saglabājies muižas komplekss ir Lielbornes muiža. 

Kopš 18. gs., kad tapa muižas greznā ēka, rosība Bornes upes ielokā nekad nav apstājusies. Jau 19. gs. muiža tika pārbūvēta savdabīgā vasarnīcas stilā, bet, nodibinot Latviju, ilgus gadus tajā rosījās skolēni, darbojoties Salienas pamatskolai. Šodien muiža ir nonākusi gādīgu saimnieku rokās un top arvien dzīvāka.

Automašīnu ir iespējams novietot stāvvietas koordinātās un tālāk doties ar kājām. Slēpnis atrodas Bornes upes krastā, pie kādreizējām dzirnavām. Lai atrastu slēpni, sekojam hintam, papildus varam izmantot bildi ''Skats no slēpņa'', lai labāk saprastu, kur meklēt slēpni. Slēpņa vietu ir iespējams noteikt ar acīm, līdz ar to nav nepieciešams lieki pārcilāt un raustīt akmeņus. Dziļākā sniegā slēpni varētu būt grūtāk atrast.

Pēc slēpņa atrašanas noteikti iesaku izstaigāt loku apkārt dzirnavu dīķim, kur labiekārtota taka ar norādēm izvedīs interesantā maršrutā. Vērts apskatīt un paciemoties arī pašā Lielbrones muižā, kurā ir iespējams tikt gan pie naktsmājām, gan arī gardas maltītes.


[EN] The unique atmosphere of the bend of the Daugava River has long been noticed not only by artists, but also by the nobility who built their havens of peace here. There are not many witnesses left of the life of the manor lords in this area - the only surviving manor complex in the Daugava valley is the Lielborne Manor.

Since the 18th century, when the manor's luxurious building was constructed, the hustle and bustle in the Bornes River valley has never stopped. In the 19th century, the manor was rebuilt in a unique summer house style, and for many years, it housed students from the Saliena Elementary School after the establishment of Latvia. Today, the manor is in the hands of caring owners and is becoming more and more lively.

Cars can be parked at the given coordinates and then continued on foot. The cache is located on the bank of the Borne River, near the former mill. To find the cache, follow the hint and use the picture "View from the cache" to better understand where to look for it. The cache can be seen with the naked eye, so it is not necessary to unnecessarily overturn and move stones. In deep snow, the cache may be more difficult to find.

After finding the cache, it is recommended to walk around the bend of the mill pond, where a well-arranged path with signs will lead you on an interesting route. It is worth visiting and enjoying the Lielborne Manor itself, where you can get both accommodation and delicious meals.
