Viktor Dyk Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ArsenLupiga: Hi most255,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:


Viktor Dyk was a well-known Czech poet, playwright, prose and political writer at the beginning of 20th ct., who suddenly died on the island of Lopud in May 1931.

Memorial monument to Viktor Dyk, situated on this island, was designed by the architect Nikola Dobrovic in 1936. It has been conceived as a triangular resting plateau in the landscape, placed at the intersection of old pathways leading from the village to the church at the cemetery and to the beach.

Construction of this monument was financed by a donation of Czechoslovakian government, and will hopefully soon be renovated by the Czech Embassy in Croatia.

Enjoy this transcendental work of art that has remained mostly unknown to the present days. Afterwards, you can walk back to the well known work of Dobrovic, Grand Hotel in Lopud, which is currently being renovated.

From the village take a road leading to Šunj beach, which passes by the monument.
After successful caching you can spend the rest of the day on the beautiful sandy beach or enjoy the walk around many well maintained walking paths on the island.

You can reach Lopud island by a regular boat line from Gruž harbour (Dubrovnik).
