Geocache Description:


With this cache, we’d like to show you two sights of Csömör.

1, The memorial of the victims of communism, and the 1956 revolution in Hungary.
N 47° 32,5720' E 19° 13,6140' 193 m [GCcska+Emlékmu]
The memorial consists of two parts.
a., An arch-shaped stone-work which commemorates the 100 million victims of communism on four continents. The rosetta-points within the contour of the continents represent the countries where the most people were victimized by communism.
b., A limestone monument with a leaning cross and with a holed flag made of stainless steel that commemorates the 1956 uprising against the communist regime. The holed flag is the the best known symbol of the 1956 revolution.

2. Calvary
N 47° 32,5930' E 19° 13,8640' 205 m [GCcska+Kánvária]
This recently hallowed Calvary has been erected on the Calvary Hill, where most of the remains of the medieval Csömör has been found.

How to get there:
By car: if you arrive on the main road from Budapest, turn right at the cemetery and you will find the cache within 100m
By commuters’ train (HÉV): 3 minutes walk from the Csömör terminal
The cache (with the password) is hidden at the foot of crownless locust tree 50 meters from the calvary.

Have a good time in Csömör !

Ezzel a ládával Csömör két nevezetességét szeretnénk bemutatni,

1, A kommunizmus áldozatainak és az 1956-os forradalomnak az emlékmuve,
Az emlékmu két részbol áll:
a. Egy ívelt kofal, amely a 4 kontinens 100 millió áldozatának állít emléket. A kontinensek kontúrjában látható rozettapontok azokat az országokat jelképezik, amelyekben a kommunizmus a legtöbb áldozatát szedte.
b. A mészkobol készült emlékmu a ferde kereszttel és a rozsdamentes acélból készült lyukas zászlóval az 1956-os kommunista rezsim elleni felkelésnek állít emléket. A lyukas zászló az 1956-os forradalom legismertebb szimbóluma.

2. Kálvária
Ez a nemrég felszentelt keresztút azon a Kálvária-dombon áll, amelyen Csömör középkori maradványait találták meg.
