Geocache Description:

The final cache coordinates: N 43°10.[sum1*30-16], E 17°09.[sum2*32+10]

You can start the trip in Zivogosce-Porat. There is a parking place next to a church. We recommend continue on foot. The whole trip doesn't take you more than 30 minutes.

To reach the final cache is necessary to solve first a puzzle. There is an answer in a first microcache on the way to the final cache,if you have any problems with your puzzle.

The final cache is hidden about 0,6 km from Zivogosce-Porat close to “gomila” (which is a long hill made of assembled stones in the shape of a little wall).

In this case it’s a very rare “gomila” dated back into the 1st to 2nd century B.C. It is tall stone cairn placed at a top of the hill, constructed in a similar way as the pyramids used to be. It is impossible to see this “gomila” from the sea. The place served as tomb for tribe of Ilyr. They were aborigines of Adriatic´s coast and Croatian inland. This Indo-European tribe is akin to Greece and Italian, who used to live in small communities in basin of Dniester. About 1200 B.C. they moved to the northwest part of Balkan Peninsula, to the inland and to the whole east coast of Adriatic Sea. That means all area from mid Dunabe to north Greece. The most popular Ilyr communities were Delmats in the field of today’s middle Dalmatia, Histries in today’s Istria and Liburnes - Croatian coast and north Dalmatia.

Question: Who breeds fish?

The final cache coordinates: N 43°10.[sum1*30-16], E 17°09.[sum2*32+10]

sum1 = sum of the first three letters of the fish owner's nationality
sum2 = sum of the rest of the letters

for example, the answer will be Croatian, sum1 = C+R+O = 3+18+15 = 36, sum2 = A+T+I+A+N = 1+20+9+1+14 = 45,
(A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, ..... Z=26)
