Jicin je krasne a klidne mesto (nebo aspon donedavna byl, nez se tu
zacaly mnozit hypermarkety a podobne obludnosti jako vsude jinde)
lezici v malebne krajine na okraji Ceskeho raje.
Historie mesta saha hluboko do stredoveku. Neni vsak znamo, kdo a
kdy Jicin zalozil, jelikoz zakladaci listina se nedochovala. Jicin
je poprve zminovan v listine kralovny Guty, manzelky krale Vaclava
II. z roku 129A jako
kralovsky majetek. V roce 1337 jej kral prodal Vartemberkum, po
nich Jicin prechazi do majetku Trcku z Lipy. Z jejich doby pochazi
Valdicka brana, posledni dochovana ze tri bran – jeji vyska
je B2 metru. Na pocatku 17.
stoleti zde panuji Smiricti (ti postavili puvodni zamek na namesti,
ktery zanikl pri vybuchu prachu 1620).
Velkeho rozmachu Jicin dosahl za cisarskeho generalissima, skveleho
vojevudce a obratneho politika Albrechta Vaclava Eusebia z
Valdstejna, ktery si jej zvolil za sidelni mesto sveho
frydlantskeho panstvi. Zatimco za tricetilete valky stredni Evropa
trpela, Valdstejnovo panstvi vzkvetalo. Z jeho doby pochazi napr.
dnesni zamek na namesti, kostel sv. Jakuba Vetsiho, Nove mesto,
2kilometrova lipova alej, lodzie v Libosadu nebo kartuziansky
klaster ve Valdicich. Po Valdstejnove smrti bylo mesto a okoli
drancovano svedskymi i cisarskymi vojsky.
V r. 1813 v Jicinskem zamku probehlo jednani o spojenectvi
Rakouska, Pruska a Ruska proti cisari Napoleonovi.
Za prusko rakouske valky v roce 1866 se v okoli Jicina odehrala
bitva, v niz rakousko-saska armada podlehla Prusum. Mista krvavych
boju pripominaji desitky pomniku a hrobu.
V 19. a 20. stoleti se do Jicina soustredil vysoky pocet skol.
Jicin byl take sidlem dvou vojenskych posadek, ceskoslovenske a
sovetske (1968-1991).

Jicin is a beautiful quiet town situated in a picturesque country
at the edge od the Czech Paradise.
The town is firstly recorded in the document of the queen Guta, the
wife of the king Vaclav II, from 129A as the property of the king. From 1337
nobility houses were the holders of Jicin. The gratest boom of
Jicin took place in the first half of 17th century under the rule
of Albrecht Eusebius of Wallenstein, the imperial generalissimo, a
brilliant warrior and skilful politician. In 1813 the Jicin palace
was the place of the negotiation of the alliance of Austria,
Prussia and Russia against Napoleon.
During the Prussian-Austrian war in 1866 the Austrian-Saxon army
was conquered by Prussians in a fierce battle close to Jicin.
Dozens of memorials and graves are spread round the town.
In 19th and 20th centuries there were a high number of schools in
Jicin. Czechoslovak and Soviet (1968-1991) garrisons resided
there.

The Route
1.) The tour begins at N
50°26.209, E 015°21.279, at the junction of
Husova Avenue, Zizkovo Square and the road from Valdice. There is a
beutiful view of the tower gate from there. The most significant
building here is Pariz Hotel (formerly named Astra, Stalingrad,
Hamburk).
C is the number of street
lamppsts in front of the hotel.
2.) At N 50°26.200, E
015°21.190 you are standing in front of Valdicka
tower gate and St. James’ church.
Valdicka gate is a late-gothic 3 storey tower from 1568-70. It
replaced one of the 3 original gates. Its height is B2 metres. St. James’ church began
to be built cca in 1627 and was intended as a bishop cathedral
(Wallenstein planned to establish a episcopacy here).
Carefully look at the tower gate and count ALL the large windows
rounded at the top side (see picture Jicin_1). This is number
D (even).
3.) At N 50°26.276, E
015°21.169 there is a synagogue. Jewish community in
Jicin is recorded as of 14th century. Wallenstein granted wide
privileges to the Jews but they were cancelled when he had been
murdered. All the Jews were deported to concetration camps in 1943
and only 3 came back after the war.
The synagogue was built in 1781-1784. After a fire in 1840 it was
rebuilt in empire style. After WWII it became a storehouse of
herbs. The Jewish community received the synagogue back in 2001 and
now it is being renovated.
E is the number of hinges
of a two-leaf wooden shutter in the eastern gable wall of the
synagogue.
4.) Go over to the Wallenstein Square. All around the square
there are houses with arcades that Wallenstein ordered to rebuild
from the original wooden ones. In the SE corner there is a palace
built by Wallenstein in place of older burned one. Pay attention
e.g. to the fountain (1835), empire-style fountain in shape of a
small temple (1836) and Maria column (1702).
Count big (not small) relief garlands on the object a part of which
you see in the picture Jicin_2. This is the number F.
Find the house with the pheasant (see picture Jicin_3).
GH is the 2-digit number
under the pheasant.
5.) Go to the Svobody (Freedom) Square. You cannot miss the
gothic church of St. Ignatius de Loyola from the 14th century, the
most ancient building in Jicin. Next to the church is the Jesuit
dormitory from 1628. The Jesuits were called up to Jicin by
Wallenstein in 1622. The dormitory began to be built in 1628. After
the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773 the dormitory became a
garrison.
The name of the square looked like a derision in late communism era
since there was a soviet garrison in the dormitory and heavy trucks
and files of armed occupant soldiers every in and out day
went.
I is the number of steps
(odd number, don’t count the threshold) at the two-leaf door
at N 50°26.1DG, E
015°20.9FB.
6.) The cache is hidden at Cidlina river at the
coordinates:
N 50°26.(I-C)(I-A)(I-C-H) E
015°20.(B+I)(I-H)(H-C)
Check: the sum of all the 15 digits of the coordinates is divisible
by 11.
The location is pretty muggle-free.
Having hidden the cache please camouflage it carefully.
Thanks.
