Vermutlich ist er den dort badenden Kindern und Jugendlichen zum Opfer gefallen. Schade. Denn ein schönes Fleckchen Erde und dazu noch ein Cache, das wer einfach toll.

But we we found this cache after 10 min. and we where again happy !!! Hahaha We walk also to the waterfalls and it was very beautiful. Thanks for this cache and this place. It was great.

The first GeoCache I ever placed. My first information was that the place where I placed the Cache is an old castle, for that reason I called the Cache “KOS CASTLE”. In fact it is the ruin of an old church as I had to learn. It should be very easy to find the place because it is near to the mainroad between Pristina and Peja. In summer it is no problem to enter the ruin with a vehicle. If you have a 4 x 4 vehicle or a motorbike you can approach to the Cache to 10 meters. But even with a normal vehicle the maximal distance to walk is less than 100 meters. It is also possible to find the Cache during winter but footsteps and skid marks in the snow may attract a lot of attention. So please be careful that the Cache will not be detected by muggles. Normally there are not a lot of muggles around, but sometimes – especially in summer on “lazy Sundays” – Police Officers of the Motorbike Unit of Kosovo Police Service meet there to enjoy life. From the ruins you have a nice view to one of the bigger towns in Kosovo which is around 3 – 4 kilometers away. Attached you find four pictures. Picture 1 and picture 2 contain major spoilers. Be careful if you do not want to know the exact place where the Cache is located and how to enter the ruin. Picture 3 shows the ruin from the mainroad, picture 4 shows a view on the town I mentioned before. The Cache itself is a tupper-like plastic-box, 17 x 17 x 6 cm. It contains - a logbook (please don’t remove) - a pen (please don’t remove) - a laminated information sheet for people who found the Cache by accident (please don’t remove) - a patch (Blue Knights Germany XVIII) - a patch (German Flag) - a snap-hook - a keyholder “Mission in Kosovo – UNMIK” - a Macedonian coin Enjoy the hunt – good luck! General advice: All over in Kosovo there are some animals using poison for hunting (spiders, snakes, scorpions). Some of them live and / or sleep under stones and in holes, favourite places to hide GeoCaches. So be careful when turning around stones or grabbing into holes. I advice to use gloves! under the stones broken from the wall in the southeast corner of the wall 2012-07-23T19:00:00Z Found it Liloma Bei unserer Tour zu verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten, suchten wir natürlich auch ein, zwei Caches.

Liebe Grüße noch mal an dieser Stelle und noch viel Erfolg beim Cachen. 2012-06-24T19:00:00Z Found it Banjami letzte woche hab ich eifelmann64 auf einer kleinen tour in die geheimnisse des geocaching eingeweiht und eine woche später ist er tatsächlich als geocacher mit eigenem gps gerät dabei :) da wir heute schon in prizren waren und nach pristina zurück mussten, wählten wir diesmal eine andere route. kommend von den mirusha wasserfällen, an denen der cache leider direkt nach dem publishen schon wieder weg war, führte uns unser weg auch direkt an diesem alten schloß vorbei. an der location angekommen wussten wir sofort, wo der cache sein musste. an dieser stelle machte aber gerade eine familie ein paar fotos. wir hatten schon den verdacht, dass es auch cacher sein konnten, machten uns aber erstmal auf den weg das gelände zu erkunden. auf halbem weg trafen wir denn die familie wieder, die aus deutschland angereist war und auch in der nähe wohnte. wir hatten eine sehr nette unterhaltung, jedoch nicht über geocaching. als sie denn wieder zum wagen gingen und wir zu den koordinaten, riefen sie uns noch zu, dass da oben der schatz wäre :D also richtige vermutung gehabt und endlich mal wieder andere cacher getroffen. die dose konnte sich denn auch nicht mehr lange verstecken und so konnten wir uns schnell ins logbuch eintragen. vielen dank für den cache. 2009-08-15T07:00:00Z GC1XA13 The Rocks Above Big Al's Diner by drhonez (Jason), Traditional Cache (3/3) http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=0673ccc4-6410-4de9-bbec-79b5dacad89d The Rocks Above Big Al's Diner Geocache Geocache|Traditional Cache The Rocks Above Big Al's Diner drhonez (Jason) drhonez Traditional Cache Small Medium hike (1km-10km) Wheelchair accessible Cliff / falling rocks Thorns Picnic tables nearby Scenic view Takes less than an hour Public restrooms nearby Drinking water nearby Parking available 3 3 Serbia A small Cache at the River Drini in Kosovo.

TFTC 2012-06-24T19:00:00Z Found it Banjami last weekend me and eifelmann64 did a little trip and i showes him the game of geocaching und only one week later we do another trip with him being a geocacher with an own gps device :) today we've been in prpizren and had to go back to pristina so we decided to take another route today. we wanted to take a look at the canyon and luckily there is hidden this cache too. after we went up the hill to see take some nice shots of the canyon we went down again to look for the cache. it took some minutes cos at this place are many good hiding places but in the end we had the right idea and got it. noone else was down here so we could log without being disturbed. thanks very much for the cache at such an amazing place. this place needs to be awarded with a fav point. 2012-04-14T19:00:00Z Found it cromagnon.be Thank you for showing us this very nice place. Also because we were very hungry when we arrived. After a good meal we decided to go up and search for the cache. At the location we had a beautiful scenic view over this smal canyon and the bridge where we started from. Because it is a very nice place I think it is a pity that only premium members can benefit from this area. Especially because there aren't a lot of caches in the area. But hey, who am I to tell what to do and what not. Whatever, I enjoyed every second of it. Greetings from Belgium.

Das ist auch kein Wunder, denn mit seinen 895 Metern über normal Null, ist er der höchste Punkt auf der Verbindungsstraße. Doch dies war nicht immer so ein idylischer Ort! Der Kosovo, gezeichnet durch die zahlreichen kämpferischen Auseinandersetzungen, bot grad hier ein Bild des Schreckens. Im Kosovokrieg, war dieser Pass aus taktischer Sicht, immer wieder Ziel von kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen. In diesem Gebiet wurden großflächig Mienen verteilt und noch bis heute ist es Mienenverdachtsgelände, da bisher noch nicht alles geräumt werden konnte! Drum sei auch hier ausdrücklich erwähnt, dass für die Suche, die befestigten Wege und Straßen auf keinen Fall verlassen werden müssen und sollten! Wir widmen diesen Cache in Gedenken an die beiden, im Jahre 1999 hier ermordeten Reportern sowie ihrem Dolmetscher! Wir wünschen Dir viel Spass bei der Suche! Ein Parkplatz befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe! The Dulje Pass Here, in the south of Kosovo, the dulje pass located between the capital Pristina and Prizren, offers a marvelous view. With the hight of 895 meters over the sea, it is the highest point of the road. However, this wasn't always an idyllic place. In the kosovo war of 1999, this area was a hot spot of military activities. Beside the roads up till now, there are still many minefields. So take care of you, watch for minesigns and don't leave the roads or ways. We dedicate this cache in honor and memories of the both, in the year 1999 murdered reporters and as well as to their interpreter! We wish you much fun seeking this cache. A parking area is near this place. Wenn Ihr da seid, werdet Ihr sehen! UPS! If you are there, you will see! And you will see, there is also an UPS! 2012-08-19T19:00:00Z Found it windhuk Nach kurzer suche schnell gefunden..

Im Sommer ist dies ein beliebter Badeplatz. Ein bisschen weiter links befindet sich die Höhle Markova Pacina. Sie ist nicht besonders groß und ragt nur ein paar Meter in den Felsen. Über einen Felsen vor der Höhle kann man zum Eingang klettern. Hier ist jedoch vorsicht geboten, da das gestein selbst ohne Regen ziemlich rutschig ist. Der cache befindet sich auf dem Berg über der Höhle und ist über einen schmalen Pfad zu erreichen, welcher links neben der Höhle nach oben führt.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> EN<br /> On the way through Rugova Valley you can see a bridge on the left after a few kilometers that leads over the river. In the summer it's a well visited place to cool down in the water. A little more left there's the cave Markova Pecina. It's not too big, only a few meters. Climbing the rock in front of the cave you can reach the entrance. You have to be carefull cos the stone is slippery, even if not wet. The cache is hidden up on the mountain over the cave. Follow the small path to the left of the cave. <p>Additional Waypoints</p>PK3VA50 - Parking<br />N 42° 39.647 E 020° 15.247<br /><br /> DE zwischen 2 Felsen unter einem Stein.

Bis jetzt sind ca. 13,5 km erforscht. Wenn man durch das Rugova Tal fährt, fallen die 196 Treppenstufen auf der linken Seite nicht wirklich auf, die zur Höhle führen. Aus diesem Grund musste hier ein Cache hin. <br /> Die Höhle selbst kann nur bis 10 Meter tiefe betreten werden und ist danach durch eine Tür verschlossen worden. Falls ihr Interesse an einer 3 stündigen Führung ins innere der Höhle habt, kann ich euch gerne Kontaktdaten zukommen lassen. Dafür solltet ihr jedoch eine gewisse Fitness und Klettergeschick mitbringen. Einige Stellen der Höhle sind zudem sehr eng.<br /> Auf dieser Seite könnt ihr mehr über die Höhle erfahren: <a href="http://www.aragonit-speleo.org/en/exploration">http://www.aragonit-speleo.org/en/exploration</a><br /> Viel Spaß beim Suchen des Caches und vielleicht bei einer Höhlenführung.<br /> Kein Stift im Cache vorhanden<br /> <br /> EN:The "Great Canyon Cave" is the 12th biggest cave all over the world. 13,5 km have been explored yet. If you drive through the Rugova Gorge you don't notice the 196 steps on the left of the road leading to the cave. Because of this reason i hid the cache.<br /> The cave can only be entered to a depth of 10 meters and is closed with a door from that point. If you're interested in a 3 hours guided tour inside the cave i can give you the contacts. You should have a good fitness level and some skills in climbing rocks. In addition to that the cave is really tight sometimes.<br /> On this page you an get more information about the cave: <a href="http://www.aragonit-speleo.org/en/exploration">http://www.aragonit-speleo.org/en/exploration</a><br /> Happy hunting and maybe much fun inside the cave.<br /> no pen inside the cache.

KOS HILLS is placed in the hills between Zubin Potok and Istog. The challenge is not to find the GeoCache itself, because it is easy to find as soon as you are on the correct dirt road. The challenge in fact is to find this special dirt road. There are (at least) two possibilities to approach to the Cache, one about 8 km north of the Cache, another one about 6 km south of the Cache. Following the dirt road you enter a beautiful hilly landscape with a great view to the Montenegrian mountains in the west. Now, in summer, everything is green and the air is very clean. The temperature in the hills is much more comfortable than in the lower areas of Kosovo. Although it is a dirt road, it is possible to drive there in summer with a normal vehicle as far as this vehicle tolerates some road holes. In winter it might be a problem to approach the Cache, because the road is rampant in some parts. At least a 4 x 4 and snow chains are necessary. But be careful, the road is not secured! A problem also might be foot-steps in the snow because the Cache is close to the road and foot steps will attract attention to the Cache. After you found the road and approached the Cache you will find it less than 5 meters away from the road. Look around – there is only one really suitable place to hide it. Attached you find four pictures. Pictures 1(Spoiler!!!) shows the accurate location of the Cache. Picture 2 (Spoiler!!!) shows the place where to enter the area from the north. Also coordinates of that place are shown on the picture. Picture 3 (Spoiler!!!) shows the place where to enter the area from the south. It also contains coordinates of that place. Picture 4 is harmless. It gives a view to the area from the southside. The Cache itself is a tupper-like plastic-box, 17 x 17 x 6 cm. It contains - a logbook (please don’t remove) - a pen (please don’t remove) - a laminated information sheet for people who found the Cache by accident (please don’t remove) - a patch (Blue Knights Germany XVIII) - a patch (German Flag) - a snap-hook - a keyholder “United Nations – Civilian Police” - a post-card from Peja Enjoy the hunt – good luck! General advice: All over in Kosovo there are some animals using poison for hunting (spiders, snakes, scorpions). Some of them live and / or sleep under stones and in holes, favored places to hide GeoCaches. So be careful when turning around stones or grabbing into holes. I advice to use gloves! under the big rock, on the right side 2012-08-02T19:00:00Z Found it Alexanderovic Found during my motorycle trip thru the Balkans.

Raste të tilla natyrore në botë janë vetëm dy. Nji është në Kosovë në lumin Nerodime, ku nji degë derdhet në lumin Lepenc dhe vazhdon në Vardar e në detin Egje dhe dega tjetër derdhet në lumin Sitnica e cila derdhet në lumin Ibër e mandej përfundon në detin e Zi.Rast tjetër të Bifurkacionit kemi me lumin Orinoko në Brazil.</i><br /> <br /> The Nerodime Bifurcation (in Albanian: <i>Bifurkacioni</i>; in Serbian: <i>Bifurkacija</i>) represents a hydrological curiosity in Kosovo and in Balkans. With the bifurcation of Nerodime river waters are downloaded in the Aegean and Black sea. This way an interesting phenomena with an educational importance is created. The Bifurcation is located in the southern part of the Kosovo basin in the territory of Ferizaj Municipality (in Serbian: Urosevac). <br /> <a href="http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=d&amp;hl=fr&amp;geocode=&amp;saddr=&amp;daddr=42.371711,21.133211&amp;mra=mi&amp;mrsp=0&amp;sz=17&amp;sll=42.371727,21.133286&amp;sspn=0.005334,0.009999&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;t=h&amp;ll=42.371727,21.133286&amp;spn=0.005334,0.009999&amp;source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">Check out this aerial photo</a> <br /> <br /> The Bifurcation of Nerodime is the very first hydrological protected object in Kosovo (1979). The Nerodime Bifurcation is declared as a strict wildlife sanctuary, I category according to (IUCN). The protected compound is laid on a surface of 13,0 ha. It is considered that the bifurcation is an artificial phenomena, but under extremely favorable natural conditions for the creation of which no emphasized technical measures were undertaken. Another most famous bifurcation is the Casiquiare canal that links the Orinoco River with the Amazon. <br /> See also: <br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_bifurcation">Wikipedia</a> <br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://balwois.mpl.ird.fr/balwois/administration/full_paper/ffp-579.pdf"> Scientific Brief</a> <br /> <br /> The two bifurcating branches are the Nerodime River, a tributary of the Lepenc River flowing south into the Vardar, flowing into the the Aegean Sea; and a tributary of the Sitnicë River, flowing North to the Ibar River, itself a tributary of the Morava in Serbia, a major tributary of the Danube. <br /> <br /> Although the Bifurcation area has been declared a protected sanctuary, it is at the time this Earthcache is posted in a rather shabby situation : the branch going to the left is virtually clogged, and the area is full of litter. What we geocachers can modestly do about that is to update in our logs the information on the status of environmental protection at the Bifurcation.<br /> <br /> This cache is attributed to Serbia and Montenegro because of the constraints of the Geocaching software as of March 2008. In fact the cache is located in a country that calls itself Kosovo, and has been recognized as independent by several countries including the USA in Feburary, 2008. Most internationally available maps show the place names in Serbian (the Nerodimka Bifurkacione, near Urosevac), while now locally only Albanian names are in use (Urosevac = Ferizaj). <br /> <br /> <b>To log this earthcache, perform the following tasks:</b><br /> <br /> A) What is the purpose of the stone building with tiled roof which spans one of the branches?<br /> B) How many arches does the first bridge on the main branch have? (NO PHOTO OF THE BRIDGE IN YOUR LOG!!)<br /> <i>Tell me the answers to these two questions per email (NOT IN THE LOG!!)</i><br /> C) Take a photo of the Bifurcation, framed to show yourself and enabling to see if the environment is improving or not <i>(this will be Geocaching's modest contribution to environmental awareness)</i>. If you are there without any help, you can take a photo of your GPS with readable coordinates instead. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://s02.flagcounter.com/more/25Aw"><img src="http://s02.flagcounter.com/count/25Aw/bg=FFFFFF/txt=000000/border=CCCCCC/columns=2/maxflags=12/viewers=0/labels=0/" alt="free counters" border="0" /></a> The Bifurcation is just after an old stone building on the main branch. 2012-08-27T19:00:00Z Owner Maintenance madajoax I see on geofinders' pictures that the place is being cleaned up and restaured!

The priority of this trip was to explore new regions and to dedicate to the radio broadcast to the Czech and Slovak Republic. Geocaching was only marginal interest and opportunity to visit some interesting places. During 07.08.2012 - 29.07.2012 we have successively visited Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Slovakia.

Let's hope it lasts forever:-) It took me 2 years to finally kick myself into starting my own geocache. Working for a year and half in almost cache-free Kosovo gave me the right opportunity to do it. So here you go – the first geocache in the city of Prishtina! Prishtina is an interesting place to live in and it takes a little bit of time to develop a liking to it:-) It has its odds, but also there are many nice places to visit (not only bars and restaurants:-) City Park definitely belongs among them. It is one of the few green lush places in Prishtina, where you can go relax, play frisbee, football or sit at the bench and enjoy any part of your day PLEASE HIDE THE SPOT CAREFULLY! So typical that you cant miss it! 2012-07-30T19:00:00Z Found it jimmycroona Put a new container by the coordinates, hopefully it won't get muggled again.

He entered politics in 1989 opposing the nullification of Kosovo's autonomy in the former Yugoslavia. In 1992, Rugova won the first presidential election in the Republic of Kosovo, an unrecognized state declared by the non-Serb majority.<br /> <br /> Rugova was re-elected president in 1998 and was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought by the European Parliament.<br /> <br /> As president, Rugova continued to support his non-violent path to independence. Rugova was taken prisoner by the Serbian authorities after NATO began its aerial campaign against Serbia. Rugova was exiled to Rome in May 1999 and returned to Kosovo in the summer that year, shortly after the liberation. He received a hero's welcome and returned to political life under the new United Nations administration in Kosovo<br /> <br /> Rugova was elected president of Kosovo by the newly-formed parliament in 2002 and again in 2005. He remained the most powerful leader in the country until his death from lung cancer in 2006. He was buried without religious rites on 26 January at a funeral attended by regional leaders and a crowd estimated to number one and a half million people.<br /> <br /> On given coordinates you will find the grave of Ibrahim Rugova. To find the cache you have just to look around and use what you see.<br /> <br /> •How old was Rugova when he died (see ages on the grave)? (=A)<br /> •How many lamppoles are surrounding the grave? (=B)<br /> •Look around and see a building with two big words on top. How many characters has the red word? (=C)<br /> •On that same building, how many characters has the blue word? (=D)<br /> <br /> Go from here (A*D)+(C*C) degrees and (C+D)*(B+B/2) meters to find the cache. It is hidden under 2 pieces of marble rock.<br /> <br /> PS : Don't forget to visit the war memorial nearby, you can see it from where you stand.<br /> <br /> Success! <p>Additional Waypoints</p>RG3E7ZX - rugova final<br />N/S __ ° __ . ___ W/E ___ ° __ . ___ <br />Final location<br /> Lean back against the wall near the rosebush and watch the graves. 2012-07-09T19:00:00Z Write note cromagnon.be As it seems that location for the container is not convenient, this cache needs to be rebuilt.

I can replace it for you next time I am in the area if you would like. Happy caching, Doc 2012-06-04T19:00:00Z Didn't find it Equipo Wacosta Being a lit lazy today I took a taxi to bring me from the center of Pristina to this place. A lot of people around in the park looking at this strange guy calculating things and running around in circles. My gpsr brought me right on the spot but unfortunately the box was/is gone. The two granite boulders were still there but nothing underneath it. What a pitty because I'm very fond of city-multicaches. After taking some pictures of the graves, monument and the tomp of Ibrahim Rugova I went to search for the traditional in the park nearby (which was gone aswell but that i didn't know at the time I left this park) Mr Cromagnon thank you for hiding some very nice caches in Kosovo!!! 2012-04-25T19:00:00Z Found it dawgdoc1 My first find in Kosovo! Thanks for bringing me here to the Veteran's Memorial and Rugova's grave site. The rose bush has been trimmed back excessively so the cover for your cache is sparse. I will check on it from time to time while I am here. If it goes missing I will be happy to replace it for you. I am afraid that the gardeners may come across it. They were cleaning out all the flower beds around the memorial today. Nice, quick multi!

There is no need to pay admission or tour the caves in order to claim the find. The view of the surrounding area is fantastic, and well worth the trip and the climb.

In opposite to the other two it is placed in the south of Kosovo, near to the border to Macedonia. KOS MOUNTAINS is placed near to Brezovica, a Serbian enclave near to the border to Macedonia. The cache is hidden in the forests on the high mountains in a height of nearly 1.500 m. In summer you can approach to the cache to 200 m, then you have to walk into the forests. If you are as lazy as I am AND own a 4 x 4 vehicle, you can approach to the cache less than 10 meters. I advise to use the parking lot (check additional waypoint) and walk to the cache the last 200 m. Even if the cache is only 400 meters away from the next asphalt road, it will be impossible to find it in winter because of the snow in that area. But even in summer there might be a problem to find the cache due to the leave of the trees. My GPS (eTrax) was not really happy about the leave. For that you find a description how to find the cache without GPS in the hint. Be aware that you have to leave the dirt road to find the cache. Not for far, but nevertheless – the area is quite steep there. And especially after rain it might be slippery and muddy. Attached you find three pictures. Two of them contain major spoilers. So be careful with open the pictures. Picture 1 shows a general overview of the place, where the cache is hidden (including a mark of the place), picture 2 shows in detail where to find the cache. Picture 3 is harmless. It shows the view to the forests from the parking lot. The Cache itself is a tupper-like plastic-box, 20 x 15 x 9 cm. It contains - a logbook (please don’t remove) - a pen (please don’t remove) - a laminated information sheet for people who found the Cache by accident (please don’t remove) - keyholder “Kosovo” - a hook with keyrings - a whistle - a small LED lamp - a snap-hook with compass - a lanyard keychain “Deutschland” Enjoy the hunt – good luck! General advice: All over in Kosovo there are some animals using poison for hunting (spiders, snakes, scorpions). Some of them live and / or sleep under stones and in holes, favored places to hide GeoCaches. So be careful when turning around stones or grabbing into holes. I advice to use gloves! Additional Waypoints ETXTND - KOS MOUNTAINS N 42° 11.172 E 021° 00.162 Parking lot, less than 200 meters away from the cache (point to point) From the parking lot follow the steep dirt track to southwest. Follow this dirt road sharp left after about two hundred meters. After about fifty to one hundred meters more you will find the roots of a uprooted tree left to the track, about seven meters downhill. On the backside of this root you will find the cache, hidden under the tree and behind a small rock. 2012-08-27T19:00:00Z Write note Eifeltiger I just recognised that it was the sixth birthday of the cache last week. Actually I live and work in Georgia and although I am actually not an active geocacher I always enjoy to receive "Found It" notes via email.

I was happy to see that this cache was found by someone since I tried to look for it almost 1 year ago. I also noticed that the cache hint was updated, so I decided to drop by this nice location once more and see if I could find it. Luckily it was rather easy this time and finally found it. I was travelling with TB "Larry L Bug", but decided not to drop it off in Kosovo as the 3 cache I hid in this country gone missing and I wouldn't want that to happen to the TB. 2012-03-17T19:00:00Z Found it cromagnon.be Nice walk from the city of Pristina to this cache on one of the first beautiful sunny days of 2012. There was still snow on the path when I got closer to the cache. But proof that spring is coming was showing by little white and yellow flowers peeping up from everywhere beneath the trail. The cache was easily found on the exact location pointed bij my GPS. The garbage mentioned earlier is on the other side of the patch. Therefore no need to seek there.

I was able to make the grab without being seen, and head on my way. This will be a very beautiful park when they finish the construction. Funny it is so far out away from where people are living. Nice surprise!

Indeed a beautiful spot but when I arrived some people were working around the "place to be". So it wasn't possible for me to search the cache without being in the middel of the attention and the risk that the cache would be muggled afterwards. Anyhow the FTF of the Novo brdo cache made me a happy hunter today and not being able to log a cache is part of the game :-) 2012-04-20T19:00:00Z Write note Equipo Wacosta Looks great!

FTF !!! Oh My God!!! Climbing mountains in Kosovo is hard, real hard. Hammer! I did a lot of hiking in European mountains, but as a lot of other things in this country the way to the top typical Kosovo style. In stead of a zig-zag path, here the path (if you can really speak of a path) is just a straight line to the top. A killer! But once arrived to this cache we had a magnificent view to the top and other surrounding mountains and to the ridge we had to cross before the last climb to the top. Although, because there was a lot of dust in the sky it was almost impossible to take nice pictures. They all ended up very hazy. A good reason to come back again another time ;-) Cache found without any problem. Onwards we go!

DNF !!! Yes, Yes, Yes!!! We did it. After a three hours hike we finally reached the top of Mount Ljuboten/Duke. What a magnificent hike this was! On the top we found serveral red marked rocks with dates and the names of people who arrived here. I'm sure they were as proud as the four of us to be here. Strange enough, the cache seemed to be located some 60 meters from the top. Probably because on the top there is no good hiding place for a container. Unfortunately, at the place of the coordinates, no box could be found. The closest distance to the place where the cache was supposed to be hidden was 5 meters, according to my GPS. Normally no problem to find a cache, but without hint and with nothing but rocks, 4 people were not able to find anything and we gave up after 15 minutes. Also because it was getting late and we needed to go back to the car. But to be honest, not finding the cache wasn't a disappointment at all. We had a great time. And maybe, maybe we'll come back sometime to get this last one. Lots of succes to the next cacher(s) and I'm sure they will have the same great experience as we did. Thanks for all, and again, greetings from Belgium.

FTF !!! When I arrived in Kosovo, one of the things to do was climbing one or more of the mountains that surround the country. So when I noticed a series of caches related to one of the most attracting summits was published, I knew I had to visit this site as soon a possible. After a long drive (took a wrong path to close in and had to turn back, what took more than an hour), we arrived at the radio station. As said, the path was very rough and we were glad that we made it, even with 4x4. First cache was found very easily. Up to the next!!! Greetings from Belgium!

When the mass moves through the air, the movement is a rockfall.</i> <p><i>This type of slide occurs where there is a tilted, pre-existing plane of weakness within a slope which serves as a slide surface for overlying sediment/rock to move downward. Such planes of weakness are either flat sedimentary surfaces (usually where one layer of sediment or sedimentary rock is in contact with another layer), planes of cleavage (determined by mineral foliation) within metamorphic rocks, or a fracture (fault or joint) within a body of rock.</i></p> <p><i>At the place where you are now gravity finally overcame the friction between the topmost rock layer and the rock beneath it. Once this occured, the topmost rock layer slided downward as a coherent block. As it comes to a sudden stop the slide block was broken apart and continued moving for some distance as a rock avalanche or debris flow.</i></p> <p><br> You have to wear a good trekking equipment to get this one and start your trek early in the morning from Thethi village. Do not forget to take a food and water with you. The trek is not dangerous unless you will keep the rules of movement in higher mountains. You do not need a climbing equipment to get to the location. For the safety reasons do not go alone to get this cache.</p> <p><u>If you want to log this cache, you have to complete two tasks:</u><br> 1) how many people can cuddle this huge rock (what is the perimeter of the rock)?<br> 2) take a picture of you in front of the rock and upload the image to your log.</p> <p><b>Good luck :)</b></p> <hr> <p><img src= "http://img.geocaching.com/cache/2600669c-cca9-40c6-a80a-c44c47f0f942.jpg"> </p> 2011-08-05T19:00:00Z Found it william adama Hi, I beg for understanding, the enclosed photo is not taken exactly in front of the rock, but from distance, from the path (if we can call it the "path" :) ). The rock was placed deep under the path and we had no time to reach it, because it was quite late and moreover it was raining. We had lost a lot of time hiding under a rock overhang :) So I beg for your understanding and I hope this photo would be accepted ;) Thank you for the cache in this wonderful place. 2008-08-08T19:00:00Z Didn't find it lumpik no more time it´s 2 days tour-track no more time SK: nebol cas to je dvoj dnova tura nemali sme na to vobec cas uz sa chistam na buduci rok na tu turu :D 2008-07-18T19:00:00Z Found it platypuscz After succesfull founds on Sqhip #1 and Sqhip #2, we decided to get also the 3rd one. It´s located in the hearth of Prokletje range, which are realy cool mountains - nice peaks, karst formations, caves, ice-plots and lot of sunny days. But without a good map (if extists except the old russian) and climbing equipments it´s sometimes difficult to find good way from one walley to otherone. E.g. when we were going for this cache, we take a little bad course so by the way, we were only 150m close to the cache, but stone was deep under us (as I show on the foto). So I hope this "remote geocaching" will be accepted in this case :-) please :-). [After that we continued to the top, from which is nice view to the cache, to the lakes and also Jazerce peak, but no way to continue, at least no way with full loaded bags, no climbing equipmnets and only several hours to sunset, so we have to get back down (sometime skiing :-D ) to overnight by the sheeplake.] Thank you also for this nice trip, and anyway for all these Prokletje caches.

Not only for the impressive remains of the old castle, the ruins of the former church, the old turkish graveyard with the tomb of Mehmet the Elder (who is still lying there), the old mosque of Osman Efendi BUT ALSO for the amazing, unbelievable and extraordinary views of the surroundings which leave your mandible hanging down like it was influenced by an earthgravity, way too strong. You can spend hours here enjoying everything I mentioned encircled with a veil of silence one doesn't believe it still exists!! Hiding such a "Back To The Basic" cache in such a Top location can only be done by someone whose blood is circulated by a big geocaching heart that must be missing the pioneers period of when geocaching still used to be a challenging game. Mr Cromagnon thank you very much for making my day!

You will find a very interesting object, which was created by water erosion in the former river-channel from the pudding stone.</b> <i><b>Pudding stone</b> is a conglomerate rock made up of a mixture of different, irregular sized grains and pebbles held together by a finer matrix, usually formed from quartz sand. The sedimentary rock is formed in river channels and may contain various minerals such as chromite, corundum, platinum, diamond, gold, sapphire, and zircon. Its name is said to derive from a resemblance to Christmas pudding.<br /> <b>Erosion</b> is the detachment of earth material from the surface. Once detached, agents like water or wind transport the material to a new location where it is deposited. The most ubiquitous form of erosion is that done by water.<br /> <b>The water erotion</b> is the breakdown of solid rock into smaller particles and its removal by water.<br /></i><br /> <p><i>There are three classes of erosion by water:<br /> (a) splash erosion occurs when raindrops strike bare soil, causing it to splash, as mud, to flow into spaces in the soil and to turn the upper layer of soil into a structureless, compacted mass that dries with a hard, largely impermeable crust;<br /> (b) surface flow occurs when soil is removed with surface run-off during heavy rain<br /> (c) channelised flow occurs when a flowing mixture of water and soil cuts a channel, which is then deepened by further scouring. A minor erosion channel is called a rill, a larger channel a gully.<br /></i></p> <p><u>If you want to log this cache, you have to complete two tasks:</u><br /> 1) how big is (approximately) the highest tower of the object?<br /> 2) take a picture of you in front of the object and upload the image to your log.</p> <p><i>There is a shop and pub in the village, and if you will kindly ask the friendly owner, you can sleep in your tent in his garden (experience from 2007).

A must if you like to discover new monasteries, old Ottoman villages, pristine nature and excellent views of the Macedonian capital. ---- It has been a while that anyone found this cache - even if you cannot find it, the trip to the top is certainly worth driving. Most tourists go to the Millenium cross for a view of Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, once the gates are opened after 8 PM. This beautiful site has more to offer and there are no gates that will stop you. You will have to drive north through the old section of Skopje. It will take some 40 minutes by car to reach the cache which is located on a mountain peak (close to 1,700 meters). You do not need a 4X4. The challenge will be to find the access road once you drive through wonderful old ottoman villages. Once you find the cache, keep on walking east for a spectacular view of Skopje down town. Enjoy the hunt. Dr. G and EJ Thanks to beer skuller for three additional pictures You should park your car close to the road and walk up the slope. You may see a building. If you see a road block, you went too far. 2011-09-08T19:00:00Z Didn't find it cyberswan After a short discussion wih a local police officer, what I'm doing here, I decided no to search for a long time. But it was a great view and worth the visit. TFTC cyberswan 2006-09-12T07:00:00Z Found it Die Geckos beautyful mountains, easy to find, nice weather, thank you, die geckos 2006-05-14T07:00:00Z Found it thebogdan After the first unsuccesfull atempt in March, when there was about one meter deep snow, today we found the cache. It was easier than we expected - my friend Goran Cvetanovski - Typhoon, who came as an geocaching observer, found it with no use of GPS. Me and Z34CDF were still aquiring precise position, when he said: It must be there - it looks like such a place! And it was! Nice walk and certanly nice view on the capital of Skopje. Damyan The Bogdan Z35BY 2006-04-30T07:00:00Z Found it GerardNL [After a visit to “Southern Roots”, this cache is just a little bit further on a beautiful road. Again, we have used the magic of Google Earth to get find the road to the cache. And we certainly need it. Today the clouds are quite low and we can’t see more then 10 meters in front of us. Luckily, this doesn’t influence the accuracy of the GPS, or we would never have found the cache. Once we get of the surfaced road, we get on a few very slippery roads. Just before we enter them, a little Macedonian car already gives up after about 20 meters, so we are really in for some nice mud. It is a good thing we have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with 2 brand new tires or I don’t think we could have made it up these roads. Dr. G mentions that you don’t need a 4x4 for this cache and that maybe true during the dry summer, but at the moment, a normal car should have never made it or could have gotten in more troubles up these last few roads. Anyway, the fog gets thinker and we drive slowly on the slippery slopes to the cache. Once we pass directly under the cache, we see a small grass spot next to the road to park our car and start the last 200 meters strait up the hill to the cache. The grass hill is quite steep and the rain from the last days made it quite slippery. We have to dig in deep to make it up. The fog also makes it quite cold. But keeping 1 eye on the GPS and one on the group gets us steady in the cache direction. Our GPS gives and accuracy of 4 meters and so, we search around a “small cache”. We are not quite sure what to look for, but yesterday we’ve found a few glass jars, so we expect something like that here as well. We do find a whole lot of trash, but no cache. That is one thing I don’t understand of this part of the world. The only people that get up here must like nature. They probably take a stop here to enjoy the view of the green mountains around. So, why in earth are they throwing away the plastic bottles and other things? Don’t they get annoyed by all this trash? We certainly do. Since we can’t find it, we decide to decode the hint and figure out that it is not useful at all. These are just directions for driving to the cache and getting close to it. But it doesn’t help us at all to find the cache once only a few meters away from it. ]A little bit frustrated we decide to get back to our car, when my eye suddenly falls on a quite a bit brown stone that has a different color from the rest. Then I also see the other stones pilled up. Now it becomes very clear and before I remove them, I already know we will find it.[ As expected, it is again a glass jar and in the jar we find a complete blank logbook. I already noticed this on the Geocache website, that no one logged this cache yet, so we are the first to “officially” find it. We log our find, add something to the cache and hide it again. Dr. G. suggests walking in the eastern direction, but since we still can’t see more then 10 meters in front of us, we don’t get a chance to see the spectacular view of Skopje. Maybe another day…. Since our “job” is done, we go back down the mountain to our car, but even though we are only 200 meters away from it, we can’t see it and I didn’t place a waypoint for the car as I usually do, so it is quite difficult to find our way back. Luckily, the GPS has a track log and we are quite pleased with it. It helps us to get close to the car and we are most happy to suddenly see it appearing out of the fog. We would not have gone totally lost since we should have always found the road, but it was certainly an unexpected experience to have to use the GPS to get back to the car.] 2005-04-16T07:00:00Z GCNHGQ Southern Roots by FriedIceCream & Zverce, Traditional Cache (2/3) http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=0ee58700-33f3-4cc0-820e-7cda3c7d807e Southern Roots Geocache Geocache|Traditional Cache Southern Roots FriedIceCream & Zverce FriedIceCream Traditional Cache Micro 2 3 Macedonia This microcache is located on the Skopska Crna Gora Mountain at an elevation of 673m above sea level. It is on the way to the village of Brodec - Skopje. After you find it, don’t forget to visit the nearby monastery. Up in the woods, over the stream you will find the cache inside the old and broken southern roots. Look under and up 2009-09-05T19:00:00Z Found it Teamtobe TFTC.

There was no log inside, so we put a small paper log of our visit. 2006-04-30T07:00:00Z Found it GerardNL I am logging this one as a "find", but I would also like to log it as “Need Maintenance”. On this grey Sunday morning, we set out on our second day to find the 9 caches in and around Skopje. Yesterday, we have already searched for 3 and found 2 of them and today we try to find even more. Google Earth gave us a nice picture on where the cache should be. The only thing we need to work out is how to get there. Keeping our GPS pointing to the cache, got us there quite nicely. A few stops and turns, but the hint about the nearby monastery, helped a bit as well. Once at the sharp turn in the road, we only need to walk up a few meters up the hill. We get to the designated cache location and started out search for the microcache. We check several old tree stumps and other obvious possibilities, but where ever we look, no cache hidden. Therefore, we decide to use the hint and that confirms the cache location we expected, but no cache. At the same time, we do find the plastic film container and a few meters away the cap. So, in essence we found the cache (or so we thing), but it is no longer intact. We did but the film container back at its location. I hope that FriedIceCream & Zverce can pay this location a visit and restore the cache. 2010-09-11T07:00:00Z GC2EZVX Korab by BOSOCZ, Traditional Cache (1.5/4) http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=e1930139-8ada-42f9-b916-4f9d88bca882 Korab Geocache Geocache|Traditional Cache Korab BOSOCZ BOSOCZ Traditional Cache Regular Long Hike (+10km) Significant Hike Scenic view 1.5 4 Macedonia <center> <center> <h1><font color="green">Great Korab 2764m.n.m.</font></h1> </center> <br /> <p>Great Korab above sea The highest peak of Korab.<br /> <font color="gray">Velký Korab je nejvyšší vrchol pohorí Korab.</font></p> </center> <center><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/dd5c9465-b12e-49ad-8045-9f7a6d3f749c.jpg" /> <center> <p>Golem Korab (Macedonian), Maja e Korabit (Albanian) lies on the border between Macedonia and Albania.

It's not a privat territory! Good luck! Kopaonik is one of the larger mountain ranges of Serbia and Kosovo[a]. It is located in the central part of Serbia and in the north-east of Kosovo. Its highest peak, Pancic's Peak, is 2,017 m above sea level.Sports and recreation are key factors to the tourism of Kopaonik. Kopaonik is mainly a destination for skiing and snowboarding. There are various other activities as well, such as tennis. Other features which attract tourists are a luxurious hotel, and entertainment. Kopaonik has many cafes, bars and night clubs. It has 24 ski-lifts and gondoles, with 70 km (43 mi) of ski slopes for all categories. It is the largest mountain in Serbia, more than 100 km (62 mi) long. Its highest peak is Suvo Rudiste (also called Pancic's Peak) at 2,017 m (6,617 ft) above sea level. The duration and quality of snowfall and ideal skiing grounds have been attracting a rapidly increasing the number of guests. Kopaonik's flora is characterized by a large number of autochthonous plant species (the Balkan beech, fir, spruce, yew, several kinds of maple, pine and oak). The fauna is also diverse but its concentration varies, depending on the quality of the habitat. This mountain has enormous resources for the development of tourism. The entire park is characterized by its extraordinary natural beauty: vast expanses of grassland, picturesque forests composed of a wide variety of tree species, beauty spots, deep river gorges. The snow blanket lasts a long time on this mountain and in view of its good relief, there are excellent conditions for the further expansion of winter tourism there. The tourist resort on the Kopaonik includes hotels, rest houses, chairlifts, excellent ski slopes and many other tourist facilities. The Kopaonik is well-connected with the main transport routes in Serbia. The central part of Kopaonik with the tourist center and ski slopes are linked with the Ibar highway, and the nearest international airport is in Niš.Kopaonik's national park was established in 1981. Deciduous forests and native coniferous woodland make up most of the forested land in the park. Kopaonik has many species of birds, such rock partridge, scops owl, red-backed shrike, and the wood lark. Soil erosion poses no threat as there is no logging and deforestation in the park. The national park is situated on a relatively flat region, at an altitude of about 1,700 m (5,577 ft). This central Kopaonik plateau is called Suvo Rudište. It is surrounded by mountain peaks. To the north and northwest of this plateau stretches Banjski Kopaonik, which is the location of Jošanicka Banja spa, whose strong springs' waters reach the temperature of 88 °C (190 °F). Directly below the Suvo Rudište plateau starts the attractive and picturesque valley of the Samokovska River, characterized by its steep run, numerous rapids, falls and gorges. A national park spread over 118.1 km2 (45.6 sq mi) of the central part of the Kopaonik plateau was established in 1981. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/35400643-d3c1-4e4a-b90d-3075eabcb586.jpg"> <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 359px; height: 270px;" src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/35400643-d3c1-4e4a-b90d-3075eabcb586.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> 2nd floor, wall, just search 2012-08-08T19:00:00Z Found it blazek [red]18 countries - 16 days - 7.200km - The BALKAN-XXL-TOUR[/red] [blue]GERMANY - CZECH REPUBLIK - SLOVAKIA - UKRAINE - MOLDOVA - ROMANIA - BULGARIA - GREECE - TURKEY - GREECE - ALBANIA - MACEDONIA - KOSOVO - SERBIA - MONTENEGRO - BOSNIA and HERZEGOVINA - CROATIA - SLOVENIA - AUSTRIA - GERMANY[/blue] On the Balkan-XXL-Tour together with buzeles and her dog we also visited this nice cache.

V dobe 8.7.2012 - 29.7.2012 jsme postupne navštívili Rakousko, Madarsko, Srbsko, Kosovo, Makedonii, Albánii, Recko, Turecko, Bulharsko, Rumunsko, Ukrajinu a Slovensko. Tuto jsme ovšem ani po pul hodine v úmorném vedru a ve ctyrech lidech ne našli. Bohužel. We made friends with the expedition CB (Citizen Band) to the Balkans. The priority of this trip was meeting new regions and dedication to the radio broadcast to the Czech and Slovak Republic. Geocaching was only marginal interest and opportunities to visit some interesting way. At the time of 8.7.2012 - 29.7.2012 gradually we visited Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Slovakia.

Only the coordinates directed me really on my knee, and in fact this is not necessary! I checked the coordinates 4 times and with my GPS I've got: 41 58.428 and 21 22.429. I put a picture of the location and it agrees with the photos of Dr.G, and Fabis and Cris. The next cacher may bring a new jar, this could be opened only by combination of strenght, pray and luck, following by some swearwords (pardon me). Anyway, even I was convinced that the hint would bring me in the middle of nowhere, where wolfs would eat me - it is very good! So, cachers go ahead! 2010-12-01T20:00:00Z Didn't find it thebogdan After 45 min searching - I did not find it. The place on the coordinates is very clear so the cache should be visible even without GPS. Maybe just because of that some non-geocacher removed it. If someone next find it - please post a picture of the place.

With a car you can access the parking and picnic area "Sredno Vodno". Up from there you must use your legs, or you can wait until the ramp lifts so you can go by car to the top of the mountain. Generally it is around 19:00 o'clock. From the parking area, follow the asphalt road going to the top. After several hundred meters, take the lefthand trail which is starting at position N41`58.419' and E021`24.187'. At its higher end, this trail connects to the main road to the top of the mountain at N41`58.221 E021`23.533'. The cache is near the upper end of this trail.

The other, and the more probable one, says that it was built during the Ottoman rule, i.e., in the second half of the XV century, between 1451 and 1469, under the patronage of Sultan Mehmed III the Conqueror.<br /> <br /> The earliest mention of the Bridge in the historic records is contained in the vakafnamata (records) of Isa - Beg's Aladza (Motley) Mosque, in 874 according to Hijra, i.e., 1469 A.D. Its master-builders are unknown.<br /> <br /> The original shape of the Bridge consisted of 13 vaults with a total length of 329 local feet or 213.85 metres (one foot = 0.65m). The total width of the Bridge was 6.33 m. That was the Bridge as seen and described by the Venetian Giacoppo Soronze who, on his journey to Constantinople (1575), stayed in Skopje.<br /> <br /> The Bridge was built of masterly and precisely aligned travertine blocks, jointed by iron rods, and strengthened by cast lead, chiseled stone and mortar applied inside the pillars. Some of them, for example the central pillar, which in the upper section ends with a decorative niche (a sentry box) similar to mihrab - in the interior have large rooms with double function, primarily to minimize the overloading of the pillar, and then to serve as a loophole. During its designing, also the decoration of the facades was taken into account, by using the renown ornamental elements (stalactites) of the Islamic secular and sacral architecture.<br /> <br /> Over time the Bridge suffered a number of impairments, which required particular reconstruction activities. There are records for some of them. Thus, it is known for certain that the Bridge was damaged in the disastrous 1555 earthquake. Then four pillars were either ruined or severely damaged. Turkish travels-writer Evlija Celebija, who stayed in the city in 1660/61, is quoting the inscription placed on the bridge on the occasion of its reconstruction: "When people saw this unrivaled bridge restored, they praised it by saying: "It is much more beautiful than it used to be."" It was reconstructed in 987 according to Heira, i.e., 1579 A.D. The reconstructed Bridge survived the frequent overflowing of the river. However, in 1817/18, during Sultan Mahmud II (1808-1839), a new reconstruction was carried out. The records say it was paid 28,816 "grosa" and 2 "aspri" (former currency). There were also subsequent reconstruction activities. Thus, before 1885 the arks and vault on the north-east side were repaired, using the bricks for the vaults and stone blocks for the lower sections of the pillars. Throughout its life, until 1909, the Bridge had a fence made up of stone slabs.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/3602b627-528f-47d0-bd37-e57d7f69f798.jpg" width="425" height="155" hspace="5" align="left" />In 1895, as a number of times before, the Bridge was again endangered by the flooding waters of the rivers Treska, Lepenec, and Vardar. Therefore, in the following years (1896 and 1897) protective walls were built on the quay, as one of the measures for regulating the river flow in that area.<br /> <br /> One, today lost stone slob, which was on the Bridge until 1963 and whose inscribed wording was copied and thus preserved, reveal that Sultan Mehmed II Resat in 1909 instructed the expansion of the Bridge by metal consoles that supported the sidewalk along its two sides.<br /> <br /> Thus the roadway was widened from 6.33 to 9.80 m.<br /> <br /> In 1944 the invading nazi army mined the Bridge. However, on the liberation of the city the activation of the dynamite was prevented. Thus the Bridge was saved from a disastrous breakdown.<br /> <br /> In 1992 a new reconstruction activity was undertaken, aimed at restoring its original shape. Thus, the sidewalks above the iron consoles were removed, and the original width of the bridge was restored.

Nice bridge and a nice city... but aren't there a bit too many statues around in the city, there's almost one in every corner and the square is just full of'em. Anyways, TFTC. 2012-08-30T19:00:00Z Found it jomael The main square is quite interesting and the fountain is enormous! We had to wait for some muggles before we could approach the cache. Our first and only cache found in Skopje. Thanks for hiding. 2012-08-29T19:00:00Z Found it MilCha Thanks for inviting us to this nice part of Skopje and for the cache. 2012-08-27T19:00:00Z Found it Okridlen As it was already said, this was tricky one. Muggled and occupied probably all the time, but time press (catching bus to get home) pushed us to a little bit scare one pair which was on the right place in bad time.

We decided there is nothing interesting in Skopje, but mountain was great alternative to spend the day to catch night train. Our start was from central station and we went up... stucked on one place we almost gave up, but one woman was very polite, she was driving by and asked if we are going up to the mountain, she brought us to the parking place, where trails start. We climbed up to 850 meters, then we forced the bushes and went lower to 830 meters. Cache searches took 40-45 minutes, but finally we found it. 2011-03-19T19:00:00Z Found it Galejnik I have logged once more by my new user name Galejnik (previous user name danakolevska). 2011-03-19T19:00:00Z Found it danakolevska When I found the el. post, I seeked literally "right downhill" (I understood it as "directly downhill"). It was mistake, of course. So I crawled thru thorny bushes, under trees, digging thru garbage. So, do not do that[:D]. The cache is in fact downhill on you right hand, behid a big stone. The content of the cache is wet (the glass jar obviously doesn't caulk well). In: tweety, pencil, pen, key tag, patch.

Skopje is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Macedonia with about a third of the total population. It is the country's political, cultural, economic, and academic centre. It was known in the Roman period under the name Scupi. The city is called Shkup or Shkupi in Albanian and Skopia in Greek. Skopje is located in the in the Skopje statistical region of northern Macedonia, in the centre of the Balkans, approximately halfway between Belgrade and Athens. The Vardar River, which originates near Gostivar, flows through the city then flows south passing the border into Greece and eventually flowing into the Aegean Sea. In Skopje, the Vardar River is 96 kilometers from its source near Gostivar. The flow in the city is almost equivalent to the flow at its delta, near Thessaloniki. The river makes a few large meanders in Skopje and is crossed by several bridges, five in number in the centre. Several rivers flow into the Vardar in Skopje. The longest is the Treska, which is 130 km long. Others include the Lepenec, Pcinja, Kadina Reka, Markova Reka and Pateška, which are all less than 70 km long. Cache is located on the one of the bridges. The nice, historical stone bridge is located approximately 400m far. Please be careful, do not drop cache to river. under bridge, pipe 2012-08-27T19:00:00Z Didn't find it Okridlen With geobuddy Osgood_Fielding we were so passionate to find it, but failed.

The highest peak of Lura Mountain is Kunora e Lurës which reaches a height of 2,119 m (6,952 ft) above sea level. Lura Mountain has many forests. The most common type of tree is the Beech which is found on altitudes between 900 and 1,000 m (2,953 and 3,281 ft) to 1,900 and 2,000 m (6,234 and 6,562 ft). On altitudes between 1,600 and 1,700 m (5,249 and 5,577 ft) Black Pine are abundant and on altitudes between 1,700 and 2,000 m (5,577 and 6,562 ft) separate Red Pine and White Pine are found on rocky slopes. These forests are home to the rare European Brown Bear, Eurasian Lynx, Eurasian wolf, European Pine Marten, Roe Deer and Capercaillie. What really attracts visitors to Lura Mountain is not its forests and animals but its many lakes. Lura Mountain contains twelve glacial lakes which were formed during the Würm glacial period. These 12 lakes are home to the Smooth Newt and the Great Crested Newt. These lakes are found between 1,200 and 1,500 m (3,937 and 4,921 ft). The four principle lakes are: * Great Lake (Alb.: Liqeni i Madh) * Black Lake (Alb.: Liqeni i Zi) * Lake of Flowers (Alb.: Liqeni i Luleve) * Cow's Lake (Alb.: Liqeni i Lopeve) The cache is located on the south shore of Liqeni i Zi (the Black Lake). The access is possible by foot from Fushe Lure and requst something like 4 hours of walking. From the west it is possible to cross the mountain ridge of Deja mountain from Macukull and walk to the Lake in 6-8 hours. Neither Fushe Lure, neither Macukull have an asphalt route, but some public transport is possible to be found from Burrel, RReshen and Peshkopi. In a good condition the route to lakes is passable by good 4x4 vehicle or by bike. But be sure to have a look at a map (the only one I know is a former Soviet military one) or at Google Eaarth. It is very easy to get lost in this area and very difficult to find where you are. Good luck!

How many meters above the sea level is the water level in the Mavrovo lake?</p> <p>2. Standing at the cache coordinates, what types of water sources for Mavrovo lake can you observe and expect?</p> <p>3. At the cache coordinates, there is a half-submerged church in the lake. In its bell tower (2.2 m above the lake bottom), there is a memorial plaque devoted to a businessman from Beograd. When was he born and when he died?</p> <p>4. When I created the cache, there was 71 cm of water in the bell tower. Please measure (or make an estimation), how many centimeters of water is there in the bell tower right now. Then compute, how many m3 is the difference of water volume in whole lake between my and your measurement.</p> <p>The water level changes during the year by up to 4 meters. When the water level is high, you probably won't be able to find the answer for question nr. 3, unless you dive under the water.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Mavrovo Lake (Macedonian: Mavrovsko ezero) is situated in the Mavrovo region, in the Mavrovo and Rostusa municipality of the Republic of Macedonia. Lake Mavrovo is known for an excellent swimming, boating and fishing spot in the summer months. It is a reservoir on the Radika River that is linked to three hydropower plants. An additional point of interest is the half-submerged church. Less than 100 km from Skopje (the capital of Republic of Macedonia), there is a natural oasis virtually untouched.</p> <p>-----</p> <h3>WATER BALANCE OF LAKES</h3> <p>Water balance of a lake means the volume changes that occur between the inflow (input) and drain (output) of water per unit of time (t), usually a year. The inflow of water takes place by:</p> <ul> <li>river water inlet and water flowing from the surface around the lake</li> <li>inlet of groundwater in shore zone or in the bottom</li> <li>precipitation fallen to the surface</li> <li>condensation of vapor from the air at the surface</li> </ul> <p>Drainage is provided by:</p> <ul> <li>River drainage</li> <li>underground drainage</li> <li>evaporation from the surface</li> <li>transpiration by plants of the coastal zone - here you can include evapotranspiration in the beach zone too, where water can seep and rises.</li> </ul> <h3>SUBSIDENCE AND COLLAPSE</h3> <p>An important and quite special problem in karst is the formation of subsidences (collapses). The terms subsidence and collapse usually are used as synonyms. The terms sinkhole and doline refer only to localized land surface depressions arising from karst processes.</p> <p>Subsidences are spatially independent, random occurrences and have been identified as sources of major potential problems, which may cause considerable damage in reservoir bottoms, in urban areas, at industrial sites, and near communication lines. The catastrophic nature of subsidence development is unpredictable and practically instantaneous and therefore very harmful.</p> <p>Subsidence is common when karstified rocks are covered with unconsolidated sediments. This occurs under the influence of water, as the erosion and piping action breaks down the support of poorly consolidated sediments. The destructive role of water can be distinguished in four different categories:</p> <ul> <li>Underground water acting from below</li> <li>Surface water acting as floodwater</li> <li>Pore water within alluvial deposits (overburden)</li> <li>Water acting indirectly, pressurizing the air in the aeration zone</li> </ul> <p><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/a32d5956-997f-4d86-ac54-bff51e076a2c.jpg" /></p> <p>The genesis of subsidences is usually related to these categories of processes.</p> <p>A generalized and simplified model describing those processes is shown in the figure. Initially, the conduit opening (ponor) was formed by karst processes acting within carbonate rocks or in other rocks susceptible to karstification. During the process of sedimentation, the opening was covered with deposits of clay, terrarosa, sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders. Under the influence of moving water, the process of mechanical suffusion destroyed homogeneity of unconsolidated deposits. As a result of this destruction, a relaxation zone formed, shaped approximately as an arch, semi-ellipse, or parabola (I). This surface will remain unchanged as long as external forces are in equilibrium with resisting arch forces. Internal friction, specifically shearing resistance along vertical planes, plays an important role in maintaining this equilibrium profile. However, surface waters, groundwaters, or pore waters essentially change the cohesion and angle of internal friction of the soil, and a new load release surface is formed (II) according to the new state of equilibrium. Part of the material between spherical surfaces (arches) (I and II) will subside into caves and be transported by water further away in the karst system. When the roof of the spherical surface approaches ground surface, the entire roof caves in, thus producing a circular opening on the land surface (alluvial ponor).</p> <p>-----</p> <p>The Mavrovo Dam is 54 m high, and the volume of the reservoir is 357 000 000 m3. Most of the reservoir is underlain by impervious Paleozoic schist formations. Marbly limestone underlies only part of the reservoir (its shallow end). At the time of the first filling (1960), two large and a few of small collapsing ponors formed in the alluvial cover overlying the karstified marbly limestone. About 9 to 12 m3/s of water escaped from the reservoir to recharge a huge karstic aquifer. The discharge rate of the Cerovo Spring, at a distance of 4.5 km, was increased by 0.8 m3/s. The rest of the water was stored in the karstified underground. It was decided to fill the subsidence ponors with crushed stones and to cover them with an overlying protective impervious blanket, 70 m wide and 430 m long (30 100 m2). The surface of clayey blanket was protected by rock blocks (1961). After four months, discharge of the Cerovo Spring ceased.</p> <p>During the next 25 years of operation (until 1986) the reservoir was never filled up to the designed operational level. The maximum water level in that period was 5 m lower (1228 m a.s.l.) than the operational reservoir level (1233 m a.s.l.). Some water loss was observed in 1963, 1973, and 1977. During 25 years of reservoir operation, permanent reservoir fluctuations caused the groundwater level to fluctuate, following the reservoir regime. This led to the washing Water resources engineering in Karst 178 out of the cave-filled deposits and finally created erosion channels in the alluvial coverage above the washed karst channels.</p> <p>In the very rainy year of 1986 the reservoir level rose up to 1231.3 m a.s.l. The abrupt water level increase triggered collapse development. The first cracks were observed in the clayey blanket (24 June). A geyser-like eruption of water and a small vortex occurred on 26 June and 4 August; subsidence of 12 m in diameter and 6 m in depth took place on 5 August. During 6–7 August the diameter and depth increased to 24 and 11 m, respectively. Several new subsidences were formed during the next 10 days. Some of them formed in the blanket zone, but more of them in the natural deluvial coverage lying over the marbly limestone. The leakage was estimated to be 6 to 7 m3/s. As emergency remedial work six straw bales loaded with stones and 233 bags of sand were placed in the main vortex area. The leakage immediately decreased to one-third of the original amount. The final solution adopted was to “amputate” the damaged (karstified) part of the reservoir banks with ponors by means of a dike. A large-scope investigation (geological and geophysical) has been performed to determine the actual conditions for selecting the final solution.</p> <p>Source: Petar T.

Jezero Mavrovo je zname tim, ze v letnich mesicich poskytuje vynikajici podminky pro plavani, vodactvi a rybareni. Zadrzuje vodu reky Radika a napaji tri vodni elektrarny. Dalsim zajimavym mistem je castecne zatopeny kostel. Mene nez 100 km od Skopje (hlavni mesto Makedonie) se tak nachazi temer nedotcena oaza.</p> <p>Uroven vodni hladiny kolisa az o 4 metry.

Voda do jezera přibývá:</p> <ul> <li>přítokem potoků či řek, přítokem povrchové vody z okolí jezera</li> <li>přítokem podzemních vod v pobřežní části nebo na dně</li> <li>srážkami, které dopadnou na hladinu</li> <li>kondenzací vodních par ze vzduchu na hladinu</li> </ul> <p>Odvodnění je zajištěno:</p> <ul> <li>říčním odtokem</li> <li>podzemním odtokem</li> <li>vypařováním z hladiny</li> <li>transpirací rostlin v pobřežním pásmu – sem je možné zahrnout i transpiraci v zóně pláži, kam voda z jezera prosakuje a vzlíná</li> </ul> <h3>POKLES A PROPAD</h3> <p>Důležitým a specifickým problém v krasu je tvorba poklesů (propadů). Výrazy pokles a propad se obvykle používají jako synonyma. Výrazy závrt a doline se vztahují pouze na lokální deprese zemského povrchu vyplývající z krasových procesů.</p> <p>Poklesy jsou vzájemně prostorově nezávislé, náhodné jevy a byly identifikovány jako zdroje hlavních potenciálních problémů, které mohou způsobit značné škody ve dně nádrže, v městských oblastech, v průmyslových areálech, a blízkých komunikacích. Katastrofický charakter vývoje poklesu je nepředvídatelný a prakticky okamžitý, a následky proto bývají značné.</p> <p>K poklesu často dochází tam, kde jsou vápencové skály pokryté nezpevněnými sedimenty. K tomu dochází vlivem vody, jak eroze postupně naruší málo soudržné sedimenty. Destruktivní úlohu vody lze rozdělit do čtyřech kategorií:</p> <ul> <li>Podzemní voda působící zdola</li> <li>Povrchová voda působící při povodních</li> <li>Kapilární voda v naplaveninách (nadloží)</li> <li>Voda působící nepřímo, zvyšováním tlaku vzduchu místech, kde normálně bývají vzduchové kapsy</li> </ul> <p><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/a32d5956-997f-4d86-ac54-bff51e076a2c.jpg" /></p> <p>Vývoj propadu je obvykle způsoben těmito kategoriemi procesů.</p> <p>Zjednodušený model popisující tyto procesy je uveden na obrázku. Nejprve vznikne otvor (ponor), který je vytvořen krasovými procesy ve vápencových skalách nebo ve skalách, které jsou k těmto procesům náchylné. Během procesu sedimentace dojde k vyplnění otvoru jílem, pískem, štěrkem, kameny a balvany a usazení vrstvy sedimentů nad skalou. Vlivem tekoucí vody dochází k mechanickému narušování sedimentů v okolí původního ponoru, zejména k narušení homogenity této vrstvy. Výsledkem je vznik „relaxační zóny“ ve tvaru přibližně polooblouku, poloelipsy nebo paraboly I). Tento tvar se nemění, dokud vnější síly zůstávají v rovnováze. Důležitou roli v udržování této rovnováhy hraje vnitřní tření. Nicméně, povrchové vody, podzemní vody, nebo vzlínající voda dokáží podstatně měnit soudržnost a úhel vnitřního tření zeminy, a postupně se tak vytvářejí nové rovnovážné stavy, např. dle linie (II). Materiál mezi liniemi I a II bude vodou odnesen hlouběji do krasového systému. Když se horní část dutiny přiblíží povrchu, celá střecha se propadne a vznikne typický kruhový otvor v zemském povrchu (ponor).</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Přehrada Mavrovo je 54 m vysoká a objem nádrže je 357 000 000 m3. Většina dna nádrže je tvořena nepropustnými prvohorními útvary z břidlicové horniny. Mramorové vápence tvoří základ pouze části nádrže (její mělký konec). V době prvního napouštění (1960) vznikly ve vrstvě sedimentů překrývajících krasový vápenec dva velké a několik malých propadů. Z nádrže začalo unikat 9 až 12 m3/s vody, která plnila obrovské podzemní krasové prostory. Vydatnost Cerovo Spring, vzdálených 4,5 km, se zvýšila o 0,8 m3/s, zbytek vody zůstával v krasovém podzemí. Bylo rozhodnuto, že se propady vyplní drcenými kameny a překryjí se nepropustnou vrstvou, 70 m širokou a 430 m dlouhou (30 100 m2). Povrch jílovité vrstvy byl chráněn skalními bloky (1961). Po čtyřech měsících se vydatnost Cerovo Spring opět snížila.</p> <p>Během dalších 25 let provozu (až do roku 1986) nikdy nedošlo k naplnění nádrže až k plánované úrovni hladiny. Nejvyšší hladina vody v tomto období byla o 5 m níže (1228 m n. m.), než je provozní úroveň hladiny (1233 m n. m.). Ztráty vody byly pozorovány v letech 1963, 1973 a 1977. Během 25 let provozu nádrže způsobovaly výkyvy v hladině nádrže i změny v hladině podzemní vody.</p> <p>Ve velmi deštivém roce 1986 vystoupala hladina vody až na 1231,3 m n.m. Náhlé zvýšení hladiny způsobilo rozvoj propadů. První trhliny v jílové desce byly pozorovány 24. června. Gejzírovité vodní erupce a malé víry byly vidět 26. června a 4. srpna, 5. srpna se vytvořil propad o průměru 12 m a hloubce 6 m. Během 6.-7. srpna se průměr a hloubka zvětšily na 24 a 11 m. Během dalších 10 dní vzniklo několik nových propadů. Některé z nich byly v oblasti překryté jílovou deskou, většina z nich ale v oblasti sedimenty pokryté vápencové horniny. Ztráty vody byly odhadovány na 6-7 m3/s. Nouzově bylo do hlavní oblasti úniku vhozeno 6 balíků slámy naplněných kameny a 233 pytlů písku. Únik okamžitě klesl na jednu třetinu původní hodnoty. Konečné řešení spočívalo v "amputování" poškozené (krasové) části nádrže pomocí hráze.</p> <p>Zdroj: Petar T.

On our way from Prague, Czech Republic to Guca Balkan music Festival and then to Montenegro and Bosna and Herzegovina with my brother Logr and his girlfriend Helena... and with my little expedition car, Subaru Libero..see the pictures... [:D] First we went from Sjenica to the old military airport, according to the additional waypoints. We came there about midnight and cought some smugglers or something like that in the act... they were not very pleasant.. they started to chase us with their off-road car without the registration plates and with their lights switched on high beams... so we got out as quickly as we could... Later on, we reached the additional waypoint where we should leave the "main" road. We did it and found a nice place on this turn where we built our tent and overslept. In the morning the off-road expedition started. Although my Subaru is not a regular "off-road" car, it was not so hard to climb up the hill, but I had to drive very slowly. At the top, another problem appeared: the cache is located at the prohibited area of a military base! But we decided to try. We found the cache very quickly and in good condition, but without any logbook. So I added a new logbook, signed in, took some pics and put the cache back. At the time we were caught by a soldier who came for us from the base with a big truck. We spent an hour explaining him who we are, why we are up here, he took our passports... but then he allowed us to turn back.. ufff... a happy end! [:D] So, if you have a chance, go for it! It is a very pretty location. But be carefull and quick, watch the soldiers! :-) IN: 2x TB OUT: nothing Greetings, Whoever, Prague, Czech Republic 2006-10-16T22:48:19Z Publish Listing haggaeus Published Hooked On Caching "Mabalacat, Philippines" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug 2007-05-17T07:00:00Z GC1300Z Montenegro Matrix by The Montenegro Geocachers, Multi-cache (4/3) http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=287ddedd-4adb-457f-9e3c-1ac8ec838102 Montenegro Matrix Geocache Geocache|Multi-cache Montenegro Matrix The Montenegro Geocachers Bernie & Susie Multi-cache Small Recommended at night Difficult climbing Takes less than an hour Recommended for kids Cliff / falling rocks Dangerous Animals Medium hike (1km-10km) Available at all times Scenic view Drinking water nearby 4 3 Montenegro Montenegro's First Multi-Cache. An amazing hiking trail in wild Montenegro. Be prepared for some real excitement and superb canyon views. This is a multi-cache leading avid explorers of Montenegro by way of an amazing trail along the Mrtvica Canyon, one of Montenegro’s finest. On the journey you will visit several old bridges, see wonderful waterfalls, arrive at a beautiful scenic treasure known as The Gate of Wishes, and an awe-inspiring rock-cut passage high up on the canyon wall, carved years ago by the Yugoslavian army. The cache consists of three small containers each indicating the location of the next one in the sequence. To decipher the code held within each container, YOU MUST PRINT THE MATRIX IMAGE HERE http://www.holiday-montenegro.co.uk/Geocaching.html and take it with you on your journey. Once you decipher the location of the next cache, enter it into your GPS. The final larger cache box contains the notebook, pencil and gifts to exchange. Adventurers should be properly prepared for a trek of 18 kms including stops, taking perhaps 5 - 6 hrs. At one point, you will reach a small farm gate, and a very friendly guard dog. Do not be concerned. He loves to be stroked, so say a big Hi from us and go right through the gate! The farmer is a great fisherman and may offer you a Rakija! Beware of venomous snakes en route. They descend towards water in very hot weather. Some are the Poskoks, which can be dangerous. Recognise it by the zigzag pattern, short stout snake with a turned out nose. DO NOT KILL, but never go on this hike in shorts and sandals. Lightweight trousers give good protection. All snakes are much more scared of you than you should be of them, but do be careful. You may see Yellow-Bellied Toads, common toads and frogs on the hike, plus varieties of birds. Do not disturb or remove anything from the minor caches. Your GPS will need to be able to locate well under tree cover and in steep mountainous conditions. Even so, you will probably need to use the clues as it is impossible for your GPS to be very accurate in some of the hemmed-in locations. To commence your adventure, take the small turning off the Podgorica - Kolasin road at N 42 degs 43.081' E 019 degs 22.222' Park your car at the following location: N 42 degs 43.180' E 019 degs 22.130' Take the small path near the parking spot.

In the place of the second box we explored whole path down to old wooden bridge but we could not see any felled tree trunk :( The final cache box was really wet. We tried to dry up the box and stuff inside on the sunshine. Found with DevilCZ and Jirik_CZK which was turned to geocaching on this cache – good luck guys :D Unfortunately, I lost my favorite hat near the final cache.

Galichnik along with Lazaropole is one of the two biggest and oldest Miyak villages in the region. Galichnik has well preserved traditional architecture, including an amphitheater in the village square.</center> <br /> <br /> <center><a href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/d5e4e13e-2a7c-4c27-bc3e-e23e46c7045a.jpg"><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/a1030872-d535-4e7c-b422-696d4d7a1180.jpg" /><br /> <i>The bride</i></a></center> <br /> <br /> <center>The most important event in the village is the Galichnik Wedding (Galichka svadba), a traditional wedding custom held annually in summer, the first weekend after the day of the village feast of the Patron Saint – Petrovden (St. Peter's day, July 12 th). Galichnik Wedding nowadays, represents a colorful ceremony of old rituals, preserved as they once were held, and organized as a cultural and tourist manifestation. The rituals, played as their former originals, describe the history of the people in Galichnik, starting from the ancient times (the ritual "Inviting the dead"), till the modern ages (the ritual "Firing the gun").</center> <br /> <br /> <center><a href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/5084b0e3-2369-456f-b41c-b97ba4a57348.jpg"><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/a29fd5a4-9699-4bae-a645-8ff2fc1b6866.jpg" /></a><br /> <i>Girls in traditional folk costumes</i></center> <br /> However, most of the rituals during the centuries, disappeared, some completely, some replaced by new. In the past, most of the weddings were held around St. Peter's Day, when sometimes happened over 50 couples to get married in a single day. The reason for everybody marrying in a period of several day is the return of the men who were working abroad in the foreign countries. They usually arrived few days before St. Peter's Day, got married and left their loved ones not longer than a month later, again. <center><a href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/faf1dd26-67f0-4801-b07f-c7417e915c91.jpg"><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/be0bab09-e210-4d07-b94a-b16ca275ed2b.jpg" /></a><br /> <i>Men dancing Teshkoto (the hard dance)</i></center> <br /> During the wedding, men dance the "Teshkoto" (the hard dance), symbolizing the suffering of the Macedonian people through the centuries.

However, if you do not manage to be in Galichnik the first weekend following after July 12th, don’t be sad. <center><a href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/8019364a-7dfb-478c-8f6a-aff67b6c386f.jpg"><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/212c7897-572a-44f0-8ec6-786b65ff1143.jpg" /></a><br /> <i>Shaving the groom</i></center> <br /> Any time is good to visit this mountain beauty. In the summer you can reach Galichnik by car (from the village Mavrovo on Mavrovo Lake) or by bike from the same place, as well as from Lazaropole. In fact, this region offers good trails for mount biking. Hiking is also a very good option. However, in winter it can be quite difficult to reach Galichnik due to heavy snows and problems with snow removal.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/1a4867c4-306b-4350-bc87-068ad3c91d92.jpg">The cache</a><br /> <a href="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/dc76f18c-ab2d-4273-8ca1-92fbb8a9de79.jpg">The gate to a small church with a long wall left</a><br /> <br /> The cache is close to the wall, under two stones. 2012-09-04T19:00:00Z Write note Galejnik Od srdce dekuji reviewerovi, a slibuju (cestne geopionyrske), ze nacpu do nasi krasne Makedonie tolik kesek, ze se vsichni zblaznite z FTF:-)))) Diky RadimKo-vi a BOSOCZ-ovi za gratulace, a hlavne za udrzeni viry, ze se vse v dobre obrati:-) 2012-09-04T19:00:00Z Write note BOSOCZ Hurá a gratuluji z Ceska 2012-09-04T18:53:27Z Write note RadimKo Gratuluji k publikaci prvni tve kese!

So I went there, searced for it - and did not find it. I am very worried about this cache because there is travelbug inside for which I did not read the number before I placed the cache so I could not log it and publish it. The owner of the travelbug did not respond to my e-mails - to give me the number and to inform him about the situation. The code of the bug is TB6374. As the place is not about to be visited intentionaly by people - I can not beleive that the cache dissapeared. If anyone wants to make me company to go back there and search for the cache - I can obtain 4x4 vehicle. My telephone is: +389 75 49 88 28. The offer is valid in no-snow season. Damjan 2010-08-08T19:00:00Z Didn't find it Lookout&cordice I was happy that I was first going to search the cache but I didnt find it. Probably its lost. Also 2 and half years nobody was searching for it. Around the rock was full of leaves and old trees so probably the cache is gone. The way to the cache is difficult, through a lot of bushes. I was searching more thenhalf hour folowing the hint but nothing from it [:(] Anyway the surrounding of the cache is wonderful. A lot of untouched beautiful nature.

The name originates in 1326 and it is built amongst five rivers, the Zeta, Moraca, Ribnica, Cijevna and Sitnica. Most of the city was destroyed during WW II, so Podgorica is relatively new, with modern buildings at every step of the way and green spaces as well as parks. Podgorica hosts a number of cultural events and there are many theatres, such as Crnogorsko Narodno, Gradsko and Dodest. Further cultural and historic monuments in and around Podgorica are Sahat-kula Adzi-pasa Osmanagica, the ruins of Nemanjica Grad, remnants of the city of Doclea, Stara Varos, and Vezirov. Podgorica has excellent transit connections with other centres..<br /> <br /> At nine kilometres from the city is the International Airport, with railway and bus stations close to one another.</div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div align="center"><strong><font color="#000000" size="2"><b>The Bridge</b></font></strong></div> <br /> <br /> <div align="center">The Millennium Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the Moraca River, in Podgorica,Montenegro.<br /> <br /> The bridge was designed by the Slovenian company Ponting and Mladen Ulicevic, a professor at Faculty of Civil Engineering in Podgorica. It was built by the Slovenian company Primorje, and opened on July 13, 2005, Montenegro's National Day. It quickly became one of the city's most prominent landmarks.<br /> <br /> The bridge is 140 m long, and the pylon soars 57 m above the roadbed. Twelve cables support the roadway deck, while twenty-four more are attached to the counterweights, creating an imposing image.<br /> <br /> The construction of the bridge began in 2005, and the building cost was approximately 7 million euros. The roadway carries two lanes of traffic and a pedestrian walkway in each direction. The bridge connects the Boulevard of Ivan Crnojevic in the city centre and July 13 street in the new part of city, thus relieving the other congested bridges connecting the city center with the densely populated districts over the Moraca river.</div> <br /> <br /> <div align="center"><font color="#990000" size="2"><b>The hiding place is busy in the day time.

Podgorica's favourable position at the confluence of the Ribnica and Moraca rivers and the meeting point of the fertile Zeta Plainand Bjelopavlici Valley has encouraged settlement. The city is close to winter ski centres in the north and seaside resorts on the Adriatic Sea. <p>The name Podgorica was first mentioned in 1326 in a court document of the Kotor archives. The city was economically strong: trade routes between Dubrovnik and the State of Nemanjici, well developed at that time, were maintained via the road that led to Podgorica through Trebinje and Nik&scaron;ic. As a busy crossroads, Podgorica was a vibrant regional centre of trade and communication. This boosted its development, economic power, military strength and strategic importance. The Turkish occupation of Podgorica in 1474 interrupted its economic, cultural and artistic development. The Turks built a large fortress in Podgorica and the existing settlement, with its highly developed merchant connections, became the main defensive and attacking bastion against rebellious tribes. The fortified city, with towers, gates and defensive ramparts, enabled the Turks to resist all attacks. In 1864, Podgorica became a township (kaza) of Iskodra vilayet called Bögürtlen (Turkish "Blackberry"). It was also known Burguriçe in Albanian.</p> <p>As part of the Ottoman Empire until 1878, Podgorica has many examples of Turkish architecture. The oldest parts of the city, Stara Varo&scaron; (Old town) and Drac are typical of this, with two mosques, a Turkish clock tower and narrow, winding streets.</p> <p><b>Sastavci ili Skaline</b></p> <p>Sastavci ili Skaline is one of the favorite gathering places for citizens of Podgorica and is located in the heart of the city, near Bridge Blaze Jovanovic, just where the old stone bridge under the river flows into the Ribnica Moraca.</p> <p>Construction of a modern promenade, with steps, is a popular place began to be called steps, however, the older generation believe that the real name for this always popular holiday resorts, the old name, and only by them - Sastavci.<br /> What is the only really important is that young and old alike enjoy when they find themselves in the embrace of two gems Podgorica - Moraca and Ribnice!</p> <p><b>The Old Bridge over Ribnice</b></p> <p>The symbol of the river Ribnice are two stone bridges - one of which is located at the mouth of the Ribnice Moraca, whose foundation, according to some circumstantial evidence came from the Roman period, and the other about 500m upstream from the time of Turkish occupation, the so-called Tabacki bridge.</p> <br /> <div align="center"><font color="#990000" size="2"><b>The hiding place is busy in the day time.

Since the cache was removed by someone twice before - I replaced the cache 10 meters to the north - to a better bush. 2006-09-15T07:00:00Z Found it Die Geckos found it at 13:27, the cache was here, but the tree was destroid, I take it under the rest of tree. nice hill, beautyful view to the airport. thanks, the geckos 2006-05-27T07:00:00Z Found it GerardNL After a complete rebuild of both the cache the entry on this site, we went again to Red Hot and this time we found it. Compared to last time, nature changed quite a bit and everything is much more green. On our way to the cache we ran into 2 turtles again. So maybe this cache should be renamed to "Turtle Cache". Since we visited the cache site before, we had little problem getting to the same spot and after searching a bit with a stick we found the spot. Thanks for restoring the cache. I hope it will survive longer this time. 2006-05-11T07:00:00Z Owner Maintenance thebogdan After reporting that the cache was not found, Damyan The Bogdan visited the site and since the cache was realy not found and the place was totaly different - NEW CACHE WAS SET ON THE SAME COORDINATES.

This location was recently discovered by archeologists and has gained world attention for its rare qualities and characteristics. From the main highway that goes from Kumanovo to Kriva Palanka take a left turn towards the village of Staro Negorcane (follow the sign). After several kilometers turn right towards the village of Dragomance. Pass through the village and continue on the same road. It is a windy road that will eventually lead you to the cache location. You can park on the meadow by the sign that marks the location. The rest is for you to discover. On weekends this is a very frequent place so please watch out for muggles. The cache is a a glass jar and contains a log book and some trinkets. under the stone 2009-09-08T19:00:00Z Didn't find it kwieto Unfortunately, cache is most probably lost. I searched the place also after reading a hint, and there is no container there :( 2007-08-02T07:00:00Z Found it tosho It was nice going for my first cache. It was very interesting because while we were looking the cache another geocachers came looking for it. We had a nice talk with them. 2007-08-02T07:00:00Z Found it frootmonster First pass, wasn't there--but noticed another geocacher writing a note in the shade. Went back later, and it was there. Nice cache--easy to find when you know where to look, but not so easy for people to stumble upon it by accident. 2007-06-23T07:00:00Z Found it GerardNL The third time that we've been towards this cache. The first time, just for sightseeing since we didn't know about geocaching. The second time we didn't make to the cache since the bridge was completely broken and gone. Now the third time, the bridge is completely renewed and we make our way up to the cache location. With a little bit of low-gearing with our 4x4, we make it actually almost up to the height of the cache. Out of the car, it's only 60 more meters to walk. We easily find the cache. After logging the cache, we walk a bit further and enjoy the view. To bad, it's not a very clear day: You can see quite far, but no way as far on a really good day. To bad, since it's quite likely the very last time we visited the site. 2007-03-17T07:00:00Z Found it Vlade Weary nice hide, went with friends for one day excursion.

Its a pitty. 2009-09-08T19:00:00Z Didn't find it kwieto Similar as with the cache placed nearby ("Prehistoric"), the containter is most probably lost.

The cache is a small, baby food jar. It contains a logbook, some small items and a pen.

TFTC 2011-08-09T19:00:00Z Found it plivovar Byla to naše jedna z nejnárocnejších kešek. Výlet do Makedonských hor s plnou polní....bloudení hned na zacátku....obrovské vedro....ale nádherný výhled na Solunskou Glavu a Nežilovské steny. Stálo to za to . Dík za keš. 2011-08-09T19:00:00Z Found it Anczoviczka Tak jsme jako další Ceši dobyli Jakupicu. Výšlap z Papradište až za Solunskou glavu za jediný den byl masakrální a stál nás hodne sil a potu.
