Geocache Description:

Kaunas Fortress (Lithuanian: Kauno tvirtove) is the remains of a fortress complex in Kaunas, Lithuania.

VIII (Linkuvos) FORTAS
Išsidestes Neries slenio šlaito viršutineje terasoje, fortas yra taisyklingos simetriškos penkiakampes konfiguracijos, orientuotas i vakarus. Forto teritorijoje beveik nera želdiniu reikšmingu kraštovaizdžiui, aplinkoje jis matomas kaip žole apaugusi kalva. Vietos kraštovaizdžiui reikšmingi žole apauge pylimai, grioviai matomi tik iš pagal forto perimetra nutiestu gatviu bei gretimu sklypu, todel ju poveikis lokalus. Iš paukšcio skrydžio formuojantys tapybiška vaizda, didesne dali teritorijos užimantys gyventoju daržai, pastatytos pašiures niokoja istorini forto ivaizdi. Atspindintys luži tvirtoves statyboje betoniniai antžeminiai pastatai konkuruoja su neretai menkaverciais sodybinio tipo pastatais isiveržusiais i forto teritorija. Kraštovaizdi niokoja išdegintos žoles plotai, šiukšlemis užversti gynybiniai grioviai. Svarbus kraštovaizdžio elementas - siauras, iš dalies urbanizuotas ryšys su Linkuvos itvirtinimo teritorija. Intensyviai urbanizuotoje teritorijoje svarbi miesto sodo-parko funkcija nera pakankamai akcentuota.

VIII FORT
Situated on the upper terrace of the slope of the Neris valley, the fort is of regular symmetric pentagonal configuration, and is oriented towards the west. There are almost no sprouts significant to the landscape within the fort’s territory; it looks like a hill overgrown with grass. The only things significant to the local landscape are the ramparts overgrown with grass; the trenches can only be seen from the streets extended in accordance wit the fort’s perimeter and nearby parcels, so their effect is local. From the bird’s view, the pictorial image is formed by the gardens belonging to the citizenry, which take up the better part of the territory; the sheds built there desolate the fort’s historic image. Over-ground concrete buildings representing a break in the fort’s construction, compete with the often crummy homestead style buildings that invade the fort’s territory. The landscape is desolated with patches of burnt-out grass, defensive fosses overwhelmed with trash. An important landscape element is a narrow, partly urbanized connection with the territory of the Linkuva consolidation. The essential city garden-park function in the intensely urbanized territory is not emphasized sufficiently.

IT'S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO BRING A FLASH LIGHT!!!
At the coordinates you'll find a white brick wall with a hole under it, the cache is just on the other side of this wall. You can try crawling trough that hole, but I suggest to find a path leading to the other side ;)

STIPRIAI REKOMENDUOJU PASIIMTI SU SAVIMI PROZEKTORIU!!!
Koordinaciu vietoje rasite baltu plytu siena su skyle apatineje dalyje, lobis yra iskart uz tos sienos. Galite pabandyti pratilpti pro skyle, bet as siulau surasti kelia vedanti i kita sienos puse ;)
