Fiumanka: Die Arbeiten in und um Gumno werden sich bis auf Weiteres verzoegern. Bis etwas Neues kommt, mache ich hier dicht. - The work near Gumno will delay, so bye, till I find something new [:)]. - Radovi oko gumna ce se produljiti, završetak je nepoznat. Dok pronadem novu lokaciju zatvaram staru [;)].
Danke an alle, die den Cache gesucht haben - thanks to all who searched the box - hvala svima koji su bili ovdje.

Geocache Description:

Dreschen mit schöner Aussicht - threshing with a scenic view in Dobrinj

Gumno is a raised walled circular stone area, reached by a short flight of steps, which served for manual corn threshing. Such places are characteristic of the island of Krk because that is where most of Kvarner’s corn is grown, despite its karst soil. Sheaves are placed on the ground and then beaten with special implements to separate the corn kernels from the ears. The corn is then winnowed to separate the wheat from the chaff, and after that it is sifted. Gumnos used also be social meeting places where young people would come together to sing and dance on summer evenings.

In Dobrinj, in der Nähe des Friedhofs (dort könnt ihr auch parken), befindet sich ein Lost-Place: Gumno - zwei Steinkreise, die als Dreschplatz gedient haben.
