This cache has been archived.

Nikrmana: Unfortunately the owner is not responding and the cache is disabled for very long time. There is no option to maintain the cache and no option to enable it as user is not active, thus I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

GeoKissing Crikvenica – Kalvarija, Dramalj
Kalvarija je smještena na uzbrdici iznad Dramlja i do nje hodočaste vjernici u vrijeme Korizme. Od kalvarije vodi put do starog naselja Lokvica i dalje prema vrhu Sopalj na kojem su još vidljive ruševine zavjetne kapele sv. Kuzam, podignute unutar ostataka srednjovjekovne crkve istoga imena. Ovaj drevni, prapovijesni put povezivao je dramaljsku lučicu Pazdehovu s Tribljom i Drivenikom, jednim od središta srednjovjekovnog Vinodola. Na vrhu Sopalj bilo je smješteno prapovjesno naselje čiji su tragovi još vidljivi unutar većeg broja sazidanih suhozidnih bedema. Pretpstavlja se da je ovdje bila manja vojna utvrda za nadzor prometne komunikacije koja je povezivala dvije značajne antičke prometnice, onu duž obale i onu kroz dolinu Vinodol, u pravcu Dalmacije.
 
Pristup: Na ovo GeoKissing mjesto dolazi se izravno s Jadranske magistrale (skretanje s D8/E65) kod Dramlja. Cach se nalazi na uzvisini iznad ceste. Može se doći automobilom. Neki će možda pokušati doći pješke, ali ne preporučamo pretrčavanje Jadranske magistrale. Ako dolazite iz pravca Rijeke skretanje ulijevo je zabranjeno, pa zato morate doći iz suprotnoga smjera. Lokaciju nije teško pronaći, a z potrebno je vješto oko, dobra koncentracija i pravi smjer kretanja.
 
GeoKissing Crikvenica  - Kalvarija (Calvary), Dramalj
The Calvary is located on an uphill road above Dramalj. People of faith make pilgrimage to the Calvary during the Lent. The road from the Calvary leads to the old settlement Lokvica and further, to the Sopalj hill, on which you can still see the ruins of the votive chapel of St. Kuzam, built in the remains of a medieval church of the same name. This ancient, prehistoric road once linked the Dramalj boat dock Pazdehova with Tribalj and Drivenik, one of the centres of medieval Vinodol. On the Sopalj hill, there was an ancient settlement whose traces are still visible among a number of concentric drystone walls. It is assumed that, at this location, there was a small military fort which controlled transport routes that linked two important ancient roads, along the coast and through the valley of Vinodol, in the direction of Dalmatia.

Access: You can reach this GeoKissing spot directly from the Jadranska magistrala (turn from D8/E65) next to Dramalj. The cache is located on the hill above the road. It can be reached by car. Some might try to get to it on foot, but we do not recommend running across the highway. If you are arriving from the direction of Rijeka, turning left is not recommended; you should come from the opposite direction. The location is easy to find, but please note that it takes a sharp eye, concentration and the right walking direction to find the cache.

 

Kada skupite sve naljepnice u kartolini, osvojili ste nagradu koju možete pokupiti na jednoj od ove tri lokacije: Gradska galerija - Frankopanska 6; Gradska knjižnica - Strossmayerovo šetalište 22. i muzej Grada - Preradovićeva 1. Crikvenica.
