Geocache Description:

Multicache nas zavadi do malebne vesnice Zinkovy situovane na brezich rozlehleho Zinkovskeho rybnika. Nad nim se tyci dominanta Zinkov - Zinkovsky zamek.
The multicache is situated near the nice village Zinkovy and it's monument - The Zinkovy palace.


Podivame-li se trochu do jeho historie, zjistime, ze na miste starsiho objektu vznikl v 17. stoleti trojkridly zamek, pozdeji upravovany hrabecim rodem Vrtbu v baroknim duchu. V roce 1883 koupil zamek od Lobkovicu hrabe Jan z Harrachu, ktery jej dal opravit a k severnimu kridlu pristavet novou budovu. Ale jiz v roce 1897 koupil Zinkovsky zamek vidensky architekt Karl von Wessely. Vnejsi podoba zamku ziskala nedlouho pote malebnou pseudoslohovou podobu s arkyri, stity a vezemi. Navrh zhotovila videnska stavebni kancelar Helmer a Fellner (nazev firmy podle prijmeni zucastnenych architektu). Pozdejsi upravy jeste probehly v roce 1916, kdy zamek vlastnil podnikatel Karel Skoda.
V dobe pred rokem 1989 slouzil zamek jako rekreacni sidlo, z porevolucni doby je znam predevsim diky nataceni filmu "Pramen zivota" (odtud i nazev cache). V poslednich letech vsak zamek znacne chatra. Jeste nedavno velice turisticky atraktivni pamatka je v soucasnosti v soukromem vlastnictvi a uvnitr je verejnosti nepristupna. Jeji okoli vsak i presto stoji za shlednuti.

Zacatek multicache je na souradnicich 49°28.712'N, 13°30.170'E. Vlastni cache se nachazi pobliz Zinkovskeho zamku nedaleko ruin hradu Potstejn (ruiny stredovekeho hradu, ktere vam rovnez doporucujeme navstivit) a jeji souradnice jsou
49°28.XXX'N
13°30.YYY'E
pricemz hodnotu XXX spocteme jako AAAA-1100, kde AAAA je letopocet na fresce (pod slovem RENOV) na souradnicich 49°28.712'N, 13°30.170'E a hodnotu YYY spocteme jako (BB*20)+105, kde BB je pocet schodu (liche cislo), ktere je treba vystoupat od fresky na terasu (49°28.707'N, 13°30.176'E).

V pripade zajmu je mozno od cache pokracovat dale po zlute znacene stezce pres neprilis vzdalene pozustatky Templu (napodobeniny antickeho chramku). Tuto stezku nasledne krizuje stezka modra, po ktere lze dojit krasnou nepomuckou prirodou az do Nepomuku a na Zelenou Horu.


The multicache is situated near the nice village Zinkovy and it's monument - The Zinkovy palace.
The palace dating back to 1176 when it was originally a castle surrounded by its own moat. Reconstructed in 1679, 1897 and again in 1916 to its present gothic style by the famous Viennese architects H. Helmer and F. Fellner when it was purchased by the Baron Skoda of the Skoda car factories to be used as his private residence. The Czech government then acquired the property and changed in into a holiday complex to be used by members of the Czech Communist Party. It also has its own chapel that has been used in the past by the rich and famous for weddings. Now the palace is private and inaccessible but you can visit its nice neighbourhood.

The beginning of the multicache is on 49°28.712'N, 13°30.170'E. The main cache is located on
49°28.XXX'N
13°30.YYY'E
XXX value we calculate as AAAA-1100 (AAAA is a number on the fresco (under the word RENOV) located on 49°28.712'N, 13°30.170'E,
YYY value we calculate as (BB*20)+105, where BB is a number of stairs (odd number) we need to step on from the fresco to the courtyard (49°28.707'N, 13°30.176'E).
