Grad Bokalce - reloaded and upgraded Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Larsus cisalpinus: Danes sem preveril stanje na GZ in na žalost sem ugotovil, da sta vmesna in končna stopnja spet zginila.

To se je v preteklosti že večkrat dogajalo. Sumim, da nek lokalni bunkelj ve o tem zakladu in krade škatle. Zato ne videm nobenega smisla več, da zaklad obnavljam. Adijo Grad Bokalce. Danes greš v arhiv.

Upam za razumevanje in vas lepo pozdravljam! Larsus

Geocache Description:

Obnovljena verzija zaklada; dodal sem neko posebno noto. Upam, da vam bo všeč. No, verjetno ne bo vsem všeč in lahko se zgodi, da me boste preklinjal, ker...


New version of the cache with a little added twist. I hope you will like it. Well, probably not all of you will like it, and some of you might even curse me, because...


The geocaching community in the area of Ljubljana is very activesmiley, so there are not many castles left where you could hide a cache. But I found one: Grad Bokalce or Bokalce Castle. 


I have to admit Grad Bokalce / Bokalce Castle is not the prettiest place. 
Actually, it is currently in a rather run-down and shabby state. It has been turned into an appartment building and nobody seems to care for it, neither the inhabitants nor the Slovene state. So, do not expect a romantic and picturesque castle with a fairy-tale atmosphere. If you are not interested in lost places, rather leave your SLR camera at home.

But despite its decaying state, I thought that the castle deserves its own little treasure. I hope you agree. Besides, as already mentioned above, in Ljubljana and surroundings there are not many places left that justify the hide of a new cache. You have to be satisfied with what the others have left over for you...    

Here are some information on this geocaching experience:

The cache is not hidden on the estate, so you do not have to worry about being bothered by the current residents of the castle or their dogs. You will find the micro-/small-sized container in the vicinity of the castle, next to the Gradaščica River.

Logging this cache involves some moderate physical activity and a little bit of courage or mental strength, and maybe, probably, most likely, surely ... (who knows?) some wading or swimming skills wink.

While searching for this cache some stealth is required from your side, since the cache site is visible from the road. So, do expect some walkers, dog owners and/or bikers to pass by and try not to attract their attention! Otherwise, this cache could soon be lost again. Thanks in advance for your caution!

And please, put everything back in the same way as you found it!


Have fun! Vesel geolov!
