Geocache Description:


[CZ]
Ludgerovice jsou jednou z nejvetsich obci v Moravskoslezskem regionu i v cele Ceske republice vubec. Prvni zminka o Ludgerovicich (Rudgersdorfu) je uz z roku 1303. Nyni obec lezi na uzemi o rozloze 1083 ha a zije v ni vice nez 4 600 obyvatel. Osada Vrablovec, ktera k Ludgerovicim patri, bezprostredne navazuje na mesto Hlucin. Prestoze obec lezi v okresu Opava, vzdy byla vazana spise k mestu Ostrava, ktere je vzdaleno pouze nekolik kilometru od obce.

Prostrednictvim teto serie bychom vam chteli priblizit krasy Ludgerovic a zajimava mista, ktera byste zde mohli navstivit.

Svedska kaplicka (nekdy nazyvana Vrablovecka, nebo take kaplicka na Stare ceste) lezi na ulici Vrablovecka uprostred poli mezi obci a osadou Vrablovec. Jeji jmeno je podle povesti spojovano s padlymi svedskymi vojaky, kteri pod ni meli byt pochovani behem tricetilete valky.

Na jejim krizi je vsak vytesan rok 1866, kdy v obci pobyvalo pruske vojsko behem prusko-rakouske valky. Bitva mezi dvema vojsky se vsak v teto lokalite nestrhla. Kaplicku postavili obcane obce jako vdek, ze se obci v teto dobe vyhla morova epidemie.

Toto je prvni cast serie, kterou bychom radi zakoncili ponekud netradicni finalovou cachi. Proto si dobre opiste cislo Q, ktere se nachazi na logbooku.

Prosim vracejte cache na misto tak, jak jste ji vytahli, jinak ji zbytecne ztezujete dalsim cacherum.

Ludgerovice is one of the biggest villages in Moravia and Silesia but also in the Czech Republic. The first mention of Ludgerovice (or Rudgersdorf as it was called) is from 1303 so it has indeed a long history. The area of 1083 hectares belongs to Ludgerovice and over 4600 people lives here. It has also one settlement called Vrablovec that borders with Hlucin. Ludgerovice belongs to Opava district. However, it had always a tight relations with Ostrava, because the Ostrava city lies only a few kilometers from the end of the vilage.

During this set of caches you will be able to visit some beautiful and interesting places in Ludgerovice.

The Swedish chaple (sometimes also called the Vrablovec chaple or the Old-road chaple) is situated on the Vrablovecka street in the middle of fields between Ludgerovice and the Vrablovec settlement. According to the legend, it was named after the Swedish soldiers who should be burried here during the 30-years-old war.

However, 1866 is inscribed on it's cross. Prussian army was resting in Ludgerovice in that year during the Prussian-Austrian war since the Austrian army was waiting in Ostrava. But there was no battle between this two armies in this location. The citizens of Ludgerovice have built this chaple as a sacrifice for God because the plague epidemy didn't kill many citizens that year.

This is the first part of the cache serie. We would like to end this serie with not very ordinary bonus cache. If you want to hunt the bonus cache, don't forget to note the bonus number Q.

Please hide the cache back as it was. Otherwise, you make the cache hunting of this cache unnecessary harder for other cachers.
