SK: Lahká skrýša uprostred najväcšiehio panelákového sídliska v SR

EN: Easy cache in the heart of the biggest housing estate in the Slovak Republic

Sprievodca Bratislavou z roku 1931 odporúca:
„Ak sa od parkovej hviezdice pustíme ku starej františkánskej veži, po prekrocení parkovej hrádze a železnicného viaduktu, prídeme do krásnej topolovej aleje. Po lavej strane sú športové ihriská footballových spolkov, po pravej však ohromná plocha niekdajšieho Závodišta, kde sa konávali chýrne bratislavské konské dostihy. Po 15 minútovej prechádzke prídeme ku starej Strelnici, jednoduchému ale chýrnemu hostíncu. Cez tadeto tecúce rameno Dunaja (Karlburgerarm) vedie malý mostík, u ktorého sa tiež prenajímajú clnky. V pravo nás cesta dovedie k hájovni Starého hája, kde sa podávajú jedlá i nápoje.
Pred hájovnou je kamenný kríž s nápisom:

Zur Errinerung an 1809 von den Burgern Pressburgs 1869.

Podla podania vyplavila tu velká povoden v roku 1809 jedon drevený kríž. Kedže sa on nik nehlásil, bol postavený pri hájovni. Casom spráchnivel, a na jeho mieste bol v roku 1869 terajší kamenný kríž postavený. Povedla je podstavec s vecerným zvonom“.

Krásna alej už nestojí a na ploche Závodišta stoja paneláky. Nenájdete tu kamenný kríž ani vecerný zvon, v hájovni už jedlá a nápoje nepodávajú, ale na mieste kríža stojí kaplnka, ktorá do dnešných cias pripomína osudy povodnami skúšaných obyvatelov Petržalky. Hájovna, zvaná aj Kokešova, je jednou z posledných Petržalských hájovní.
Keška je v Háji uprostred sídliska - v Starom. Háji...

Krabicku zo skrýše vyberajte prosím obzvlášt opatrne a zapamätajte si presný postup, aby ste ju mohli vložit presne naspät!

Guidebook of Bratislava from 1931 recommends:
“Taking a walk from orchard centre to the old Franciscan tower, after crossing the park-embankment and railroad bridge, You will come into beautiful poplar alley. On the left, there are football clubs pitches, on the right, there is the enormous area of former Závodište, where notorious horse races took place. After a 15 minutes walk, you will come to the old Shooting range, simple but notorious inn. Over the Danube arm (Karlburgerarm), a small bridge leads, at which they rent little boats. On the right, the path will lead you to gamekeepers´ house of Starý Háj - Old Grove, where they serve food and drinks.
In the front of the gamekeeper´s lodge, there is a stonemade cross with inscription:

Zur Errinerung an 1809 von den Burgern Pressburgs 1869.
(In memory of 1809, from citizens of Pressburg-former name of Bratislava, 1869)

According to what people say, the big flood of 1809 brought a wooden cross to this place. Because nobody appealed to the cross, it was erected in front of the gamekeepers´s lodge. As time passed, it mouldered, and on its place, a stonemade cross was erected in 1869. Nearby, there is a pedestal with the evening bell.“

The beautiful alley is not standing anymore and several prefabs are standing on area of former racecourse. There is neither stonemade cross nor evening bell in this place anymore, nor do they serve foods and drinks in the gamekeeper’s lodge, but you can still see the chapel, which commemorate the destiny of flood-tried inhabitants of Petržalka. The gamekeeper’s lodge, called Kokešova, is one of the last remaining gamekeeper’s lodges in Petržalka.
The cache is in the grove (which in Slovak means also it is goosed:-)) - The Old Grove - Starý Háj...

Please, be very careful when taking out the box. You would need to put it back the same way...!
