Geocache Description:

Hradová

Hradová - výrazný vrch na okraji Národného parku Muránska planina s dominantou - vycnievajúcim bralom Okrúhla skala. Táto prirodzená skalná pevnost má kolmé skalné steny vysoké niekolko desiatok metrov a je najväcším skalným monolitom v tejto casti územia.

Hradova

Nádherný výhlad do Rimavskej doliny a strategická poloha Hradovej ju predurcili na to, aby už od mladšej doby bronzovej sa stala útociskom pre lud kyjatickej kultúry GCY6T7. Praveká osada vznikla na hrebeni Hradovej, z bezpecného bývania na Hradovej tak prví obyvatelia mali pod kontrolou celé údolie s bohatými pastvami, rolami a boli aj chránení mohutnými bralami a lesmi, ktoré pod zemou ukrývali nerastné bohatstvo. Uvedené osídlenie dokazujú pocetné nálezy rôznych predmetov dennej potreby.

Neskôr na Hradovej vznikol drevený hrad (tzv. Starý hrad), potom kamenný hrad (tzv. Nový hrad), nakolko v casoch tureckých vpádov mohli ich pustošeniu odolat len kamenné hrady. Spolu s Muránom GCYFYA mali tvorit bezpecnú hradbu proti turkom. Tisovec však neodolal, turecké vojsko hrad dobylo a obsadilo. Po vyhnaní Turkov z krajiny hrad už nemal strategickú hodnotu, jeho koniec znamenalo povstanie Imricha Thokolyho, jeho vojaci hrad zaujali, ale vojensky už neobsadili.

Prešli stárocia a zvyšky opevnení sa už stali len miestom pre výlety. Dnes je všetko minulostou a len stopy v teréne, najmä ked lístie opadne, ukážu miesto dávnej a tajomnej histórie.

Hradova - expressive hill at the border of National park Muranska planina with a dominant pro truding cliff Okruhla Skala (Round Stone). This natural rocky fortress has perpendicular walls high several tens of metres and is the biggest rocky monolit in this area.

Beautiful view to the Rimavska valley and strategic position of Hradova predestined this place for being a refuge for people since the early bronse age. Primeral settlement has arisen in Hradova. Here, people had been safe and so they could control the whole valley with rich fields and giant cliffs and woods, which had been hiding mineral wealth them safety. Various subject found here settlement of primeral age.

Later in Hradova arise wooden castle (old castle) and then the stone castle (New castle) because in time of Turkish wars only building made of stone could survive. Together with Muran it had been forming safety fence. Unfortunately, Tisovec didn't survive and the Turkish army conquered and occupied the castle.
