Geocache Description:


SLO: Vas Col leži na obronku Trnovske planote, s pogledom na Vipavsko dolino ter čez Kras vse do tržaškega zaliva. 

Col

Col je bil zaradi svoje lege nekdaj pomembna vojaška postojanka, saj je vsak, ki je hotel priti iz Vipavske doline v notranjost ali obratno, moral obvladovati ozke prehode na Colu. Skozi kraj vodi tudi rimska cesta. Col je bil idealen kraj za pobiranje cestnih pristojbin. Iz besede Zoll (carina) izvira tudi današnje ime kraja. Staro ime za Col je Podvelb zaradi mogočnega oboka, ki se je vzpenjal čez cesto. V ta obok je bila vgrajena tehtnica s katero so tehtali blago.

V smeri Ajdovščine so na levi strani ceste ostanki starega gradu Trilek. Graščina je bila najprej last plemičev Trileck. Od njih so jo kupili Abramsbergi in v njihovi lasti je graščina ostala do smrti zadnjih dveh stanovalcev gradu. Od takrat naprej graščina propada. 

 


ENG: The village Col lies on the edge of karst plateau overlooking the Vipava Valley.

A Roman road led through the village. And due to Col’s location between the Vipava Valley and Notranjska region it was a perfect place for a collecting the tolls. The name Col is borrowed from German word Zoll, which means toll or custom duty.

Towards the Ajdovščina there is a small castle. It was built in the early 16th century. The castle consists of a small tower and two annexes. The castle is in poor condition and unsafe to enter.
