Taky jste nekdy chteli vedet, jak to asi vypada uvnitr sopky? Tahle je sice uz casek "mimo provoz," ale porad na vas udela silny dojem.

Pokud se chcete dostat k cachi od Vinaric, odbocte ze silnice u bileho plankoveho plotu s cislem 26 (N50 10.655 E014 05.540) do ulice K Rybniku a sledujte zlutou znacku (nedivte se, ze cesta zprvu klesa). Asi po 250 metrech muzete zaparkovat u uvodni tabule naucne stezky (N50 10.709 E014 05.345). A ted si muzete projit celou stezku (delka 2,5 km); da se jakztakz projet i na kole. Jestlize mate v umyslu rovnou vysacovat cache, pak opustte zlutou znacku u kulny vedle infotabule cislo 3 (na mapce nize jeste pod starsim cislem 2), kde zacina i multi Uprchlik, a dejte se zelene znacenou odbockou naucne stezky mirne do kopce; k cili zbyva jeste par stovek metru. Nehrajte si zbytecne na kamziky (jste v chranenem uzemi), cache je snadno pristupna z cesty. Prirodnim zajimavostem Vinaricke hory je podrobneji venovana eartcache Vulkan / Volcano, jen dodejme, ze k porizeni ji pozadovane fotografie staci pokracovat po stezce do nitra lomu, k tabuli cislo 4.

2 km jizne (N50 09.961 E014 05.057) se muzete zastavit v hornickem skanzenu - byvalem dole Mayrau ("Cesticka k Mayrovce...") a zkusit cache Mayrovka. Jeste zajimavost na konec: Pres silnici, naproti brane skanzenu, se nachazi nechvalne proslula vinaricka veznice, ktera ma taky svou cache Vykoupeni z veznice Shawshank.

Cache is located on path between points 2 and 3. The maps shows the trail as of 2003, nowadays these points are numbered 3 and 4. Photo by Toniczech, March 2003.

Prubeh naucne stezky s predeslou verzí zastavek. Cache se nechazi priblizne za 2/3 vzdalenosti mezi body nesoucimi na obrazku oznacení 2 a 3. Naucne panely byly nedavno obnoveny, pred prvni rozcesti pribyl novy bod 2 a cele cislovani se posunulo - dnes jde tedy o zastaveni 3. a 4. (foto: Toniczech, brezen 2003)


Have you ever wanted to know, how does it look inside of a volcano? This one is "out of order" for a long time, but visiting it is still very impressive.

If you are approaching the cache from village of Vinarice, leave the road at N50 10.655 E014 05.540 (you can see a white fence with number 26 there) and follow the yellow marking. After about 250 m you can park your car near the first naturetrail information board (N50 10.709 E014 05.345). Now you can walk through the whole naturetrail (length 2.5 km); riding a bike is also possible. If you decide to go straight to the cache, leave the yellow marking near the shed at information board No 3 (depicted as No 2 on the map above), and follow the green-marked path uphill for a few hundred meters. No climbing is necessary, the cache is easily accessible from the path. There is also an eartcache called Vulkan / Volcano, which offers more detailed insight into natural history of the mountain, for the photo requested just follow the path further into quarry, to board No 3.

There is also an open-air museum of coal mining (Skanzen Mayrau) at N50 09.961 E014 05.057, 2 km southwards. (And finally one curiosity: When you are standing by the entrance of museum, you can see the infamous prison of Vinarice on the other side of road.
