“A Cup of
Coffee” description
Hill
Roznik
(read: "ROGE NICK") is situated only 30 minutes of walk western
from the centre of
Ljubljana
. It is a popular pathway for a quick escape from the town,
especially among people of
Ljubljana
. However, it is not so well known among foreign tourists.
Roznik is
also an old Slovenian word for the month June.
The road leading
to the Roznik hill was built in 1834.
It has not changed much since although it was being reconstructed
in 1937-1938. To approach the hill and the cache you can park your
car at N46 03.358 E14 28.871
(Ljubljana
, Cesta
na
Roznik 20
or 35 for auto-routing GPS).
Top of the
hill Roznik
is approximately 100 m above the
Ljubljana
and it is ~20 m
higher than Grad hill, which dominates over the old town of
Ljubljana
. Located at the peak is a church, which was built in 1746. Below
the peak is an inn
where Slovenian writer Ivan Cankar
lived from 1910 to 1917. To commemorate that period and the writer
the hill was named
Cankarjev
vrh.
Ivan
Cankar was
one of the most important European authors at the turn of the
century and commented strongly on social, national, and moral
issues. Although he followed the most modern European literary
trends, his work is genuinely original. However his
symbolistic sketches and other short
stories, in their mixture of symbolism, modernism and even
expressionism, have sometimes been paralleled to Franz Kafka and
James Joyce. At the hill you can find a memorial room of Ivan
Cankar that
was set up as museum collection by City Museum
of Ljubljana.
As a tribute to
130 years from the birth of Ivan
Cankar, the
greatest Slovenian short story writer and dramatist, we set up a
cache - “A Cup of Coffee”. It is named after one of his well known
short stories. The cache is located close to the popular inn where
he lived, so please be careful when searching for it. A lot of
potential muggles will walk by when you will search for the cache
(this is one of the challenges related to finding this cache),
however please note that the popularity of the area is also due to
wonderful nature that is surrounding the spot.
