Geocache Description:


Cache je možno lovit třemi způsoby:
Turista – prochazkou od parkoviste u hospody v Libovici ( N 50°14.098 E 14°00.975 )cache je vzdalena cca 1,6 km
Cyklista - výborný způsob odlovení - krásné místo i pro vyjížďky po okolí
Lenoch – typ cache drive-in – je mozno z Libovice dojet polni cestou skoro az na misto.

Cache je v mistech,kde se rozkladala dnes jiz zanikla ves Necky.Prvni zminka o ni je z roku 1399. V 18.stol. zde bylo nekolik chalup a kostelik. Zaklady byly zretelne jeste po polovine 20.stol.,ale dnes jsou zarostle novym lesem. Ve velmi suchych letech 1775 - 76 vyschly vsechny tri zdejsi rybnicky a vyschla i studna v Neckach. Muzi ze vsi se rozhodli vyschlou studnu prohloubit. Vodu sice neobjevili,ale narazili na zhruba 70 centimetrovou uhelnou
sloj.Zprava o nalezu “cerneho zlata” se rychle roznesla a privedla do Necek tri zkusene dulni dozorce z Jiloveho u Prahy – pany Konase, Prusu a Pribika. Ti zacali v okoli s dolovanim. V Neckach v mistech zvanych Za vrchem,zacal dolovat Konas. Dolovani lakalo kde koho. Jenze nakoupit potrebne zarizeni,pumpy na odcerpavani vody a material na vydrevu nebylo nic lacineho. Sedlaci se zadluzili a prisli o veskery svuj majetek. Dolovat take zacal sedlak Prochazka
z Jedomelic. Rovnez on se zadluzil, a tak se obratil pro pomoc k pribuznemu, bohatemu mestanu Frantisku Beyerovi, a pozadal ho o financni pujcku. Frantisek Beyer (1782-1864) se jel na misto dolovani podivat, penize mu pujcil a stal se jeho spolecnikem. Sam si pak nakoupil dalsi vymery a zacal s dolovanim, postavil cihelnu a ze zde vyrobenych cihel vystavel obydli pro sebe a pro stajgra a take kumbaly pro horniky. „Stajgrhaus” pak v roce 1817 vymenil se smecenskym spravcem za dvorec. Beyer dvorec v Neckach castecne prestavel a postavil zde take novou obytnou budovu. V roce 1822 se ozenil s Katerinou Michalovcovou. V roce 1829 se jim narodil syn Eduard (zemrel 1871).
A k nemu se prave vaze zajimavy pribeh,ktery uzce souvisi prave se zdejsi kaplickou a sochou sv. Jana Nepomuckeho. 10.6.1834 spadnul Eduard Beyer do jiz zminovane studny. Jak se pise na pametni desce, vse dobre dopadlo a jako vdek
nechal otec Eduarda vystaviti tuto kapli. Kaple byla 27.zari 1837 vysvecena a od tech dob, kazdy rok, vzdy 16. kvetna o svatku sv. Jana Nepomuckeho, se u kaplicky slavila pout. Zdevastovanou kapli opravili v 90. letech 20. stol. clenove zdejsiho mysliveckeho spolku a od roku 1996 zde byla obnovena tradice svatojanskych pouti.

The cache can be hunted in two ways:
A tourist – walking from the parking place at the pub in Libovice (N 50°14.098 E 14°00.975), the cache is about 1.6 km far
An idler – a sort of the drive-in cache – you can drive from Libovice along a dirt track almost to the place

The cache is in the area where there used to be the village of Necky, today perished. The first reference to it is
from the year of 1399. In 18th century there used to be a few cottages and a chapel. The foundations were clear even in the second half of 20th century but today they are overgrown by a new forest. In the very dry years of 1775-76, all three local ponds and a well in Necky dried up. Men from the village decided to deepen the well. They didn´t discover water but they stroke a coal bed, about 70 cm wide. The news of a „black gold“ strike spread quickly and brought three experienced pit foremen from Jílové near Prague to Necky – Mr. Konáš, Prus and Pribík. They started mining. Konášstarted in Necky, at a place called Za vrchem. Mining attracted a lot of people. But the necessary equipment, pumps draining water and material for timbering, wasn´t cheap at all. Peasants fell in debts and lost all their property. Procházka, a peasant from Jedomelice, also started mining, he also fell in debts, turned to his relative František Beyer, a rich burgher, and asked him for a
loan. František Beyer (1782-1864) went to see the mining place, lent him the money and became his partner. He himself bought some more areas and started mining, built brickworks and, from bricks made there, he built a house for himself and for a pit foreman (štajgrhaus) and some cubbies for miners. Štajgrhaus was then, in 1817, changed for a residence with an administrator from Smecno. Beyer partly rebuilt the residence and built a new house for residential purposes. In 1822, he married Katerina Michalovcová. In
1829, their son Eduard was born (died in1871). And there is an interesting story just about him, which is closely linked with the local chapel and statue of St. John of Nepomuk. Eduard Beyer fell into the above mentioned well on 10th June 1834. As written on the plaque, everything turned out well and, as an expression of his gratitude, Eduard´s father let the chapel built. The chapel was consecrated on 27th September 1837 and since then there has been an annual fair around the chapel, always on 16th May, St. John of Nepomuk´s Day. The devastated chapel was reconstructed in the
nineties of 20th century by members of the local hunters´
association and, in 1996, the fair tradition was restored.
