Vladl kdysi mestu Athenam velice popudily kral jmenem Aigeus.
Rad poradal sportovni hry a klani, ale nesnesl, aby jeho vlastni
sportovce kdokoli predcil. A kdyz se to jedneho krasneho dne prece
jen stalo, kral athensky se zlosti neudrzel a ciziho viteze na
miste zahubil.
Onim vitezem vsak nebyl nikdo jiny nez nejmladsi syn krale Minoa z
ostrova Krety a mesto Atheny muselo od te doby za zvuli sveho krale
platit krutou dan:
Kazdych devet let opoustela athenske brehy lod s Cernymi plachtami,
ktera odvazela sedm urozenych mladiku a sedm nejkrasnejsich divek,
aby se na Krete stali potravou pro obludu Minotaura, jehoz kral
Minos choval na ostrove v POVESTNEM BLUDISTI – kretskem
labyrintu.
Cele Atheny pro ne plakaly, ale nebyla zadna pomoc…
Teprve kdyz mesto melo platit tuto dan uz potreti, prihlasil se
mezi odsouzence i statecny princ Theseus. Jeho otec, popudlivy
kral, mu jeho rozhodnuti samo sebou rozmlouval. Ale Theseus si nic
rozmluvit nenechal a odhodlane vykrocil na lod s ostatnimi.
Sotva lod pod cernymi plachtami dorazila na ostrov Kretu, sebehli
se vsichni Kretane, aby si odsouzence prohledli. Take princezna
Ariadna. Jen jeden jediny kracel v zastupu zoufalych divek a
jinochu s hlavou vztycenou a v ocich mu jiskrila odvaha. Byl to
Theseus. A jak jinak, princezna Ariadna se do neho na první
podivani zamilovala.
Jakmile soumrak padl na ostrov a odsouzenci uzuz meli byt zahnani
do labyrintu ke krvilacnemu Minotaurovi, Ariadna utekla z rodneho
palace a prinesla Theseovi dve dulezite veci: mec, aby jim mohl
obludu zabit, a taky klunko niti, aby pak v chodbach labyrintu
nezabloudil a nasel cestu zpatky.
S pomoci Ariadnina mece Theseus Minotaura doopravdy zdolal a s
pomoci jejiho klubicka on i vsichni odsouzenci athensti trefili
hrave z bludiste labyrintu zpatky na lod, která dosud
neodplula a cekala na ne v pristavu.
A vzali s sebou take princeznu Ariadnu a vsichni byli
zachraneni…
Takze jeste dnes pro nas pro kazdeho znamena Ariadnina nit neco
jako spolehlive voditko ve slozite situaci. Praminek jistoty, ktery
nas bezpecne zavede domu.

Dnesna doba nam poskytuje modernejsie ponatie Ariadninej
nite, a to GPS :) Ta Vas privedie do bludista v zahrade Trojskeho
zamku, kde porazite Minotaura a vyrvete mu zo sparov jeho
poklad.
Na pamiatku slavnej Ariadninej nite sa potom skuste poprechadzat po
bludisti a po zahrade (je nadherna :) a majte pri tom stale zapnutu
GPS. Ulozte si tracklog (Ariadninu nit), nahrajte ho do pocitaca a
uploadnite ho (vo forme .jpg obrazku) s Vasim logom na stranku
tejto cache. Kreativite sa medze nekladu, mozete chodzou namalovat
obrazok alebo len zmapovat svoje kroky zahradou a bludistom.
Aktivita, pri ktorej sa pouziva GPS ako umelecky nastroj sa nazyva
GPS drawing, viac o nej v anglictine najdete na strankach o GPS drawing
Kto nema technicke moznosti (napr. kabel od GPS, software,
fotoaparat na odfotenie tracklogu priamo z gps), nevie, ako nato,
alebo sa mu jednoducho nechce, nemusi tracklog nahravat, aktivita
je to dobrovolna.
Kto to vsak urobi, z toho by davna Ariadna urcite mala radost (aj
ked Minotaur sa asi bude v hrobe obracat :)
O lokalite Trojskeho zamku sa docitate viac napr. tu. Zaujimavostou
je, ze vonkajsia vyzdoba zamku inspirovana antickymi motivmi v
minulosti iniciovala nazov celej miestnej casti - Troje.
Dalsia zaujimavost (najma pre nas geocacherov :): zamocka
zahrada a Vinice Sv. Klary kedysi tvorili jeden celok.
Pozor, lokalita cache je pristupna len v otvaracich
hodinach expozicii na zamku:
Listopad-Brezen: len v sobotu a nedelu 10-17 hod.
Duben-Rijen: Utery-Nedele 10-18 hod.
Mimo oficialnych otvaracich hodin je zahrada uzatvorena a k
cache sa nedostanete. Do zahrady sa neplati ziadne vstupne.
Prajem Vam vela stastia pri hladani cache a kreativity pri
GPS drawingu - a pozor na Minotaura :)))
In Greek mythology Theseus was the son of the Greek king Aegeus.
King Minos of Crete defeated Aegeus and threatened to destroy his
country. Only if Aegeus sacrificed seven young Athenian men and
women every nine years to the Minotaur would his kingdom be spared.
Theseus felt it was time to put an end to the sacrifice. When the
moment came for another 14 people to enter the Labyrinth in which
the Minotaur lived, Theseus offered to go as one of the sacrifices.
During the journey Theseus met King Minos’s daughter Ariadne,
who promptly fell in love with him.
Ariadne was willing to help Theseus find his way out of the
Labyrinth. In exchange Theseus promised to marry her and take her
back to Athens. Ariadne gave him a ball of thread and told him to
secure one end at the entrance to the Labyrinth. He could then
unravel the ball as he made his way. By following the thread
Theseus would be able to find the way back to the entrance.
Theseus slowly made his way through the Labyrinth, unravelling the
ball as he went. He encountered the Minotaur, and after a struggle
slew the beast. Together with the others he followed the thread
back to the entrance and out of the Labyrinth.
The present times offers the modern conception of the
Ariadne´s thread – GPS :) Your GPS will take you into
the labyrinth in the Troja Chateau garden, where you will beat down
the Minotaur beast and will get his treasure. In memory of ancient
Ariadne walk down through the labyrinth and the garden (it is
really interesting spot) while yout GPS will be still on. Save your
tracklog (an Ariadne thread) and upload it then with your log for
this cache. You can be creative and draw the picture while walking
or just to map your walks through the labyrinth and garden. The
activity when you use the GPS for the drawing is called GPS
drawing, you will find out more about it at this web page .
If you do not have the technical abilities to save your
tracklog and upload it with your log or you just do not want to do
it, there is no problem, you can log your find anyway, the GPS
drawing part is a volunteer activity.
Here you
will find out more about the Troja Chateau.
The cache locality is open:
November-March 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Sunday
April – October 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday
Have fun while searching the cache and during the GPS drawing
– and be aware of Minotaur :)
