Korytko Multi-Cache

[SK] Dnes uz zrusena uzkorozchodna trat Ruzomberok-Korytnica mala povodne spojit Ruzomberok s Banskou Bystricou. Nakoniec vsak bol zrealizovany usek udolim Revucej a Korytnickou dolinou do kupelov Korytnica.

V decembri roku 1906 udelilo uhorske Ministerstvo obchodu koncesiu na prevadzkovanie zeleznice a uz 5.juna 1908 pufkal udolim prvy rusen. Okrem samotnej prepravy kupelnych hosti zabezpecoval i nakladnu prepravu pre miestne priemyselne podniky.

V roku 1958 dorazili do Ruzomberka nove dieslove lokomotivy a v roku 1959 vystriedali stare parne vlaciky. V Ruzomberku ostala uz len lokomotiva U37.006 ako pomnik.

V 60tych rokoch je postavene cestne spojenie medzi Ruzomberkom a Banskou Bystricou a slava Korytka zacina upadat. V roku 1966 dochadza k zastaveniu nakladnej dopravy a nakoniec 25.maja 1974 viezlo ludi udolim posledny krat.

Teraz povezie (aspon virtualne) vas. :-)

[EN] The abandoned narrow gauge railroad Ruzomberok-Korytnica was initially supposed to connect Ruzomberok with Banska Bystrica. In the end only the track section from Ruzomberok to Korytnica spa was built.

The hungarian Ministry of Trade licenced the construction of the railroad in december 1906 and the first locomotive puffed in the valley on June 5th 1908. In addition to the transport of spa visitors it provided also cargo transport for the local industry.

The old steam engines were replaced in 1959 with diesel engines. The U37.006 steam locomotive was left in Ruzomberok and stands there up to the present day as a memorial.

In the early 1960s the road from Ruzomberok to Banska Bystrica was built and the glory of the Korytko railroad began to fade. The cargo transport stopped in 1966 and finally on May 25th 1974 the train went through the valley for the last time.

Now you can be a passenger enjoying the ride through the nice valley...

[SK] Nasu prechadzku zacneme na stanici v Ruzomberku pri uz spominanej lokomotive U37.006. Tam, kde teraz parkuju taxiky bolo nastupiste. Vasou ulohou je precitat udaj o objeme vodojemu a vynasobit ho desiatimi (cize v podstate budete ignorovat desatinnu ciarku). Ziskate tym indiciu A.

[EN] Our trip starts at the central train station in Ruzomberok near the already mentioned locomotive U37.006. There was a boarding platform in place of the todays taxi rank. Your task here is to find the label with the water tank volume and multiply it by 10 (basically you'll omit the decimal point) - that's the parameter A.

[EN] The first passenger station was Biely Potok. The embankment along the Revuca river is visible even today. The coordinates of the stage will lead you to the preserved bridge right before the former station. Walk the bridge southwards and from behind the spruce a traffic sign with number will show up. Write the number down - it's the parameter B. If you walk southwards some 100 meters (330ft) more, you'll come to the house where the station was. There's a sign offering mason services (murar) on the wall.

[SK] Dalsiu zastavku, ktora nas bude zaujimat najdeme pri Jaziercoch (nezabudnite sa stavit i po miestnu tradicionalku, Jazierce su nadherne). Z miesta danych suradnic vidno v smere na Bansku Bystricu znacku a na nej zas cislo. Tot indicia C.

[EN] Our next stop is Jazierce (don't forget the local traditional cache, the place is really worth visiting). Another traffic sign is visible to the south (direction Banska Bystrica) with another number. That's the parameter C.

[EN] You surely haven't overlooked that all the way from Biely Potok you are accompanied by the old enbankment on your right-hand side. If you have an appropriate bike you may continue riding on it, it will lead you up to Korytnica. Just mind the traffic while crossing the major road!
The next stop of our trip is Podsucha. If you didn't lose the embankment, it should have led you to another bridge crossing the Revuca river. There's a letter on the south side of the railing. Its rank in the english alphabet is the parameter D.

[SK] Mozete smelo pokracovat dalej po nasype, privedie vas az do Liptovskej Osady, tam, kde stala stanica Osada-pila. Dnes tu stoji rodinny dom - ake nesie popisne cislo? Blahozelam k indicii E.
%EDIT 4.5.2008% Tabulka s cislom nam zmizla. Dame domacim nejaky cas na obnovu, zatial vam potichu prezradim, ze E=4.

[EN] You can continue on the embankment, it goes up to Liptovska Osada, to the former station Osada-pila (sawmill). The building serves as a family house today. Parameter E is the number of the house.
%EDIT 4.5.2008% The house sign with the number disappeared. Let's give the locals some time for renovation, meanwhile let me tell you that E=4.

[SK] Pokracujeme do dediny na miesto, kde bola hned vedla riecky Korytnice zastavka Liptovska Osada. Tam, kde je dnes cesta, viedli kolaje.
Aj tu dnes stoji rodinny dom a aj tu bude vasou ulohou zistit jeho cislo. Verim, ze tu s indiciou F nebude ziaden problem.

[EN] The next stop is in the village Liptovska Osada where the former passenger station stands. It's the building next to the river Korytnica.
The building has also been transformed to a family house and your task here is also to locate the house sign with the number. I believe that finding the parameter F won't be a problem at all.

[SK] Poslednou zastavkou pred samotnym grande finale je konecna stanica Korytnica-kupele. Budova dodnes stoji a bola prednedavnom zrekonstruovana. Nachadza sa v oplotenom areali, ale brana od krizovatky je dokoran (v budove je dnes chata) a nikto vas urcite nebude nahanat, ked prejavite zaujem o staru zeleznicku.
Btw. kludne sa pytajte ludi i cestou, vacsinou si starsi Korytko pamataju a s nostalgiou nan spominaju. A nezabudnite sa potom v logu podelit o to, co ste sa dozvedeli ;-).
Ale aby sme nezahovorili poslednu indiciu G. Uz ste urcite uhadli, ze i do tretice pojde o cislo domu, na stanicke ho najdeme na JZ rohu.

[EN] The last stop before the grande finale is the train terminus Korytnica-kupele. The original building is still standing and was renovated not long ago. It's now in the fenced area but the gate from the crossroads is always open (the building was rebuilt into a chalet) and nobody will be hunting for you if you express interest in the old railroad.
Btw. don't hesitate to ask people on the way too, especially the older generation remembers Korytko with nostalgia and will gladly talk about it. Don't forget to share it in the log, should you find out something interresting (well if you found somebody speaking english of course ;-) ).
But we've burked the last parameter G. You've surely already guessed that it's the house number again and you'll find it on the SW corner of the building.
