Geocache Description:


**** A N I N C I N Y **** K A C E N K Y ****


[Cesky]
Zvu Vás na procházku do malinkého parcíku na okraji mesta Hradec Králové.
Ješte pred pár lety tu byla nelákavá bažina zarostlá krovím, dnes je ale všechno jinak.
Mesto park vycistilo a upravilo a nyní se tu dá strávit docela pekná a klidná hodinka (hlavne s detmi); nejkrásneji je tu samozrejme na jare a v léte. V parku najdete lavicky, skluzavku, jednoduchý kolotoc a pár dalších detských prolézacek, z nichž nekteré jsou pomerne neobvyklé. Nejvetší atrakcí jsou ale dve jezírka, kde se shromažduje relativne velké hejno divokých kachen. Tedy, kachny už jsou to spíše jen polodivoké, nebot je sem chodí krmit cím dál více tatínku a maminek s malými detmi - doporucuji tedy nezapomenout si také nejaký ten chleba ci housku. (V zime za kacenky nerucím :-) , ale v den umístení cache na vode byly (23.1.2007).)
Parcík je oblíbený i mezi pejskari, kterí sem chodí se psy behat. Ti se ale pohybují v jiné cásti parku a do míst s kachnami a detskými atrakcemi neprijdou.
Zajímavostí je také nekolik druhu exotických stromu roztroušených po parku.
Nedaleko se nachází sokolovna a fotbalové hrište.

Doprava je možná (krome klasické peší procházky, kola a auta) i vlakem ci MHD. V tesné blízkosti parku je železnicní stanice Hradec Králové - Slezské predmestí a konecná linek MHD 3, 5, 6, 12, 14, 23 a 27. (Nekteré spoje 5, 12, 14, 23 a 27 výjimecne pokracují dál.)

Tato cache je pojmenována na pocest mé dcery Anicky. Park jsme objevili chvíli po jejím narození pri procházkách s kocárkem a dnes (o témer tri roky pozdeji) sem spolu casto chodíme kacenky krmit.

Jelikož je tato cache zamýšlena primárne jako tip na procházku pro rodinky, ani umístení schránky není snad nijak složité a nebude vás príliš trápit.
Cache jsem zvolil vetší a naplnil jí mnoha dárecky pro vetší i menší, tak snad Vám udelá radost a nezustane prázdná.
Prosím pozor na muddly! - nekdy bývá park pustý, ale obcas je tam i hodne plno.
Preji hezkou procházku!

POZN. pro GeoCachery v léte: je možné jí vyzvednout i ukrýt bez popálení koprivami.

(PS: Tato tradicni cache byla založena i proto, aby trochu vyrovnala skore mezi tradicnimi cachemi a multicachemi v Hradci. V dobe jejího založení tu byla jen jediná tradicní cache a pak spoustu multicachí.
Všechny multicache jsou moc pekné a dobre udelané a v podstate provedou návštevníka všemi nejkrásnejšími místy mesta. Myslím ale, že je dobré mít tu i pár cachí tradicních pro geocachery, kterí mestem jen projíždejí a nemají tolik casu.)




[ENGLISH]

I'd like to invite you to a walk in a small little park on the outskirts of the town of Hradec Kralove.
A few years ago there was an unattractive scrubby swamp. Now - cleared and cleaned - it's become a place where one can spend an enjoyable and refreshing hour - especially with kids. Naturally, the place is most beautiful in spring and summer.
In the park you will find benches, a kids slide, a roundabout and a few other children's attractions. Nevertheless, the greatest attraction of this park are its two small artificial lakes where a flock of wild ducks usualy gather. (Well, the ducks are now rather semi-wild as more and more fathers and mothers are coming here with their children and feed the ducks - so I recommend you to take some bread for them as well.) (In winter the ducks' presence is not guaranteed :-) but on the day this cache was placed they were there. (1/23/2007))
The park is popular with dog-owners too - they come here to play with their dogs. However, they use a different part of the park for it so they are far from both the children and the ducks.
You can also find some quite exotic trees scattered over the park.
There are a football pitch and a gymnasium in vicinity.

Getting to the spot (apart from traditional walking, cycling or driving) is also possible by train or a city bus. Just round the corner there are a railway station 'Hradec Kralove - Slezske Predmesti' and a city bus terminal for lines 3, 5, 6, 12, 14, 23 and 27. (Some (few) of the buses No. 5,12,14,23,27 do not finish here but stop only and then continue.)

This cache is named in honour of my daughter Anna. We discovered the park shortly after her birth during our walks with the pram (baby coach). Now, almost three years later, we still come here together to feed the ducks. (By the way, she is certain that the ducks remember her and miss her when she's not there.)

As this cache is primarily ment to be a suggestion for a pleasant family walk, the location of the cache is intentionally predictable. You should be able to discover the box without the Additional Hint. The Hint is there for geocachers who do not have a GPS locating device or for those who just don't have their lucky day.
I decided for a bigger cache container and filled it with gifts for kids as well as adults so I hope you will like it and I hope it won't ever get empty.
Please beware of muggles! - the park is often deserted but sometimes it can get a bit crowded.
Have a nice walk!

(Note: One of the reasons this cache was planted was to help to balance the ratio between traditional caches and multi ones in Hradec Kralove. In the time of its founding there was only one traditional cache in the town and many multi caches.
The multi caches are all very well done and will show you the nicest places in the town. However, some traditional ones can be good for visiting geocachers with not-so-much time.)
