Geocache Description:



CZ: Tretí cache venovaná opušteným vleckám kolem Kladna - tato vedla k dolu Jan (Johann).

Dul Jan byl založen roku 1885 jako dve jámy vzdálené od sebe 60m, težilo se z hloubky pres 400m. Težba byla ukoncena v roce 1925, v letech 1934 až 1975 Jan sloužil jako vetrná jáma dolu Schöller. Nekteré objekty dnes slouží jako obytné, na cásti pozemku je provozována strelnice.

Vlecka se napojovala na trat Kladno Dubí - Zvoleneves (viz kešky GC10FAY, GC10FB6 a GC10FBB). Dodnes z ní zustalo zretelné teleso, náspy a zárezy (o dolu Jan).

Doporucuji vyjít ze souradnic N 50°10.284 E 014°03.894, nejprve se podívat smerem k bývalému dolu (N 50°10.450 E 014°03.935, dnes je poblíž strelnice, tak se neleknete) a potom na JV smerem ke kešce. Po odlovení mužete pokracovat procházkou pekným zárezem k N 50°10.340 E 014°04.263 nebo i dál po žluté znacce - treba až k velmi pekné kešce Inside of volcano.

Cache je tvorena 670ml KlipFresh krabickou.

Cache obsahuje císlo C, zapište si ho a po odlovení všech "vleckových" keší budete odmeneni prémiovou mysterkou.


EN: 3rd tribute to abandoned rail sidings to coal mines near Kladno - Jan

The coal mine Jan (Johann) was established in 1885, mining was shutted down in 1925, after that (between 1934 and 1975) the shaft was used as upcast for the mine Schöller.

The rail siding was connected to railway Kladno Dubí - Zvoleneves (see cache series GC10FAY, GC10FB6 and GC10FBB). Up to now we can track massive railroad body, causeways and notches. Source.

The cache itself: look for 670ml KlipFresh container.

Recommended way - start at N 50°10.284 E 014°03.894, first you can see the north branch up to N 50°10.450 E 014°03.935 (a firing range is operated nearby, so don't take fright). Finally you have to proceed to the South-east up to the cache and after the successful hunt you can continue to N 50°10.340 E 014°04.263 or even further to very nice cache Inside of volcano.

Cache contains secret number C, remember it and after all "rail siding" caches you will be able to find premium mystery cache.
