This multistage geocache takes you in
Middle Ages of Novo mesto. The goal is to find 5 castles in Novo
mesto. There are several caches around. Some of
them are virtual, some are real boxes hidden close to the castles.
You will need some general historical knowledge. Mid-stages are not
meant to be real caches, but you can trade something if you wish.
Each mid-stage cache has log-book and note with instructions for
next stage. Please don't remove notes from these caches.
Beside GPS I suggest following
accessories: small screwdriver, notepad, pen, stopwatch,
compass, lamp and calculator.
Have fun!
To find the first cache you'll have
to:
Start at coordinates N 45° 47.75 E 015° 10.35 (WGS84). It's parking
place close to first castle. Look around for some water deep under
the surface. When you find it, measure how deep is it. Take this
distance in SW direction.
Important update -
January 2012
Two changes were
done to successfully complete this cache.
1. Second stage was stolen - again, therefore, the second stage has
no box. You'll have to follow the following
instructions:
Now take a walk exactly to the West, about 80m. Walk by main street and find a solemn staircase to building with a monumental baroque stone entrance. This is entrance to the castle named Neuhof. It has also some other names: Avla nova, Pred malim mostkom (in front of Mali mostek), Novi dvor, Wollmann's, Kham's castle, Rozina castle.
Valvasor noted it was built in 17th century and this originates it's German name Neuhof. It belongs to family Modrax. Afterward many owners changed at this building. Last owners were Brothers of Charity from Graz. They reconstructed it to hospital, with opening ceremony in 1894. This castle is also known as dwelling place of Julia Primc, ungranted love of famous Slovenian poet France Prešeren. She lived here with her husbant for the last 14 years in her life.
Read the year above the entrance (name it number »C«) and solve the formulas for next cache.
N 45° (C/100)+ 30.6884 E 15° (C/100)- 7.528
2. Stone plate in front
of the Chapel of The Holy Tomb was removed. It has important
numbers for coordinates calculation. Since plate is not available
in place, the photo is given as a replacement. Click the thumbnail
for larger photo.
With instructions
printed out and photo of the stone plate, solving this cache
remains unchanged. Please note, if you don't have online access
from the cache, please print out the instructions and the
photo.
Pri resevanju tega multi-cachea bos
odpotoval v srednji vek Novega mesta. Cilj je, da obisces vseh 5 gradov, ki jih premore Novo
mesto. Vse vmesne stopnje so nekako povezane z
gradovi in so v njihovi blizini. Pri resevanju bos rabil nekaj
malega splosnega znanja zgodovine. Vsaka vmesna stopnja, kjer je
plasticna skatla, vsebuje dnevnik in navodilo kako naprej. Ce
zelis, lahko tudi kaj pustis ali vzames na vmesnih stopnjah, edino
navodila in dnevnik pusti tam.
Poleg GPS sprejemnika toplo
priporocam naslednjo opremo: majhen izvijac,
belezka, pisalo, stoparica, kompas, svetilka in
kalkulator.
Uzivaj!
Da bos resil prvo uganko, zacni na
koordinatah N 45° 47.75 E 015° 10.35 (WGS84). To je parkirisce
blizu prvega gradu. Poisci nekaj vode globoko pod povrsjem. Ko jo
najdes izmeri, kako globoko je. Pojdi za enako razdaljo v JZ
smeri.
Pomembna sprememba
- od Januarja 2012 naprej
Da bi
uspešno koncali iskanje sta bili vnešeni dve
spremembi.
1. Škatlo na drugi stopnji stalno nekdo krade. Zaradi tega
je nesmiselno, da se jo stalno obnvlja. Tam torej ni vec
škatle, v zameno pa so navodila iz te škatle kar
tukaj:
Od tu, kjer sedaj stojiš pojdi zahodno, približno 80m. Ob cesti boš našel stopnice, ki vodijo do enonadstropne stavbe pravokotnega tlorisa z imenitnim kamnitim portalom. To je dvorec Mostek (Neuhof). Druga imena so tudi: Avla nova, Pred malim mostkom, Novi dvor, Wollmannov, Khamov grad, Rozinov grad.
Valvazor je zapisal, da je bil gradic pozidan v 17. stoletju in od tod njegovo ime Neuhof. Najprej je bila v posesti sedaj že poznane družine Modraxov, natancneje Wolfa Adama barona Modraxa. Za njimi se je zvrstilo veliko lastnikov ali najemnikov. Nazadnje je bil od leta 1881 v lasti Ane Kvetkovic, hcerke Ane Kham. Potem ga je odkupil samostan usmiljenih bratov v Gradcu. Ti so stavbo preuzredili v Bolnišnico, ki so jo 1894 svecano odprli. Še danes se pa spominjamo bivanja Primicove Julije, Prešernove nesojene ljubezni zadnjih 14 let njenega življenja v tem gradu.
Postavi se pred kamnit, barocni vhodni portal. V temenu njegove razkošno profilirane preklade je vklesana letnica. To je število »C«. Za koordinate naslednje stopnje reši naslednjo formulo:
N 45° (C/100)+ 30.6884 E 15° (C/100)- 7.528
2. Nagrobnik pred
vhodom kapele Božjega groba je bil odstranjen med zadnjim
preurejanjem okolice in ni vec dostopen. Da se ohrani prvotni potek
reševanja uganke petih gradov, je namesto nagrobnika njegova
slika. Za povecavo klikni na malo slicico.
Vsi ostali napotki,
potek reševanja, koordinate in škatle z navodili
ostajajo na svojem mestu. Z gornjo sliko in navodili je možno
v celoti priti do konca. Prav tako je potrebno obiskati vse tocke,
kot do sedaj. Prosim, da si sliko in navodila natisnete, ce nimate
naprave s spletnim dostopom za na teren.
