Veterny park Traditional Cache

SK:       Prvy veterny park na Slovensku vznikol nad obcou Cerova. Na Vapenkovej skale sa tycia styri 76 metrov vysoke stoziare so sklolaminatovými vrtulami s priemerom 47 metrov. Zachytavaju vietor, ktory sa pomocou 20 ton vaziaceho generatora (200-600kW) od augusta 2003 meni na elektrickú energiu. V Cerovej sa myslienka na vybudovanie veterneho parku zrodila po tom, co sa v tejto obci v roku 1998 zrealizovalo meranie vetra. Z jeho vysledkov vyplynulo, ze bezveternymi boli v Cerovej za cely rok iba dva dni. Pristup: V obci Cerova na suradniciach N48°35.339 E 17°23.111 odbocte na Rozbehy. Parkovanie motorových vozidiel je priamo vo Veternom parku. Upozornenie: V zime mozu odletovat namrznute kusy ladu v okruhu 150 metrov od rotorov!

EN:       The first wind energy park in Slovakia was established right above the village Cerova. On very top of Vapenkova Skala there are four 76m high towers with fibre-glass airscrew rotors some 47m in diameter. The airscrews are catching the wind which runs a 20 tons generator making since August 2003 electric energy of 200-600kW. The idea to establish the wind energy park was born after the results of wind blowings measurements in 1998. The results were surprisingly positive with only 2 days of none winds per year.

Access:In the village of Cerova on N48°35.339 E 17°23.111 turn to Rozbehy. Parking place is right in the area of Wind energy Park.

Important notice: In the winter there is a danger of flying pieces of ice off the airscrews within 150m in diameter.
