Geocache Description:


PROSIM POZOR: Cache premistena do noveho ukrytu - zkontrolujte si souradnice!

Zvu vas na kratky vylet za jihoceskou hradni cache. Vychozim bodem bude mala obec Cernivsko. Pokud se prepravujete autem, da se zde zaparkovat u kostela (ktery take stoji za navstevu) nebo na hrazi prilehleho rybniku a pak vyrazit smerem k byvalemu hradu Krikava. Upozornuji, ze k hradu vede zleva vcelku pohodlna cesta, neni nutne se skrabat primo za sipkou.

Hradek Krikava byl vybudovan ve 14. stoleti, prvni zminky o nem jsou v souvislosti s pany z Dornstejna, kterym patril. Bohuzel jiz o stoleti pozdeji byl hradek opusten a od te doby chatra. Presto se do dnesni doby dochovaly zbytky opevnene veze (donjon) a casti zdi prilehlych staveb.

I invite you to visit this castle cache in Southern Bohemia. Starting point is a small village Cernivsko. If you go there by car, you can park by the church (which is also worth for visit) or by neighbouring pond and then head to the former castle Krikava. To the castle lead quiet comfortable way from the left side, you don´t need to go directly in the course of arrow.

The castle Krikava was built in the 14th century, first mentions of this are in the connection with the landlords of Dornstejn, which was its owners. However already in 15th century was the castle abandoned and since the time decays. To this days stand the remains of the fortifiend tower (donjon) and surrounding buildings.
