Geocache Description:


border crossing Catorna
(dead-stop rail on forest road)

hranicny prechod Catorna
(kolajnicova uzavera lesnej cesty)

Catorna hataratkelohely
(az erdei ut sinlezarasa )

Under the threat of an impending war in the late 1930-ies, Czechoslovakia began to fortify itself and in the process, forest reads had not been forgotten either.


Every road crossing the Czechoslovakia border had to be blocked immediately.
According to this intention, the reinforced concrete with sticking out tramlines have been built up on strategic places. This constructions were supported by cutting of trench on the enemy border side - just to defend making a circuit of the blocks.

Almost all south parts of Slovakia along the Czechoslovak - Hungary border have been taken over by Hungary after Munich conspiracy and fortification has been destroyed by much precised method than Germans did. Anyway, small part of this fortification stayed unspotted till today. This fact allows us to see something almost totally destroyed all around the past country border.
Ked sa pred hrozbou bliziacej vojny zacalo Ceskoslovensko v 30-tych rokoch opevnovat, nezabudlo sa ani na lesne cesty.




Kazda takato cesta veduca cez ceskoslovesnku hranicu musela byt bezpodmienecne zatarasena. Na tento ucel boli krizom cez lesne cesty v tesnej blizkosti statnej hranice, v mieste, kde to bolo najvyhodnejsie, vybudovane betonove bloky s vytrcajucimi zaliatymi kusmi kolajnic. Toto bolo casto este posilnene vykopom zo strany nepriatela, ktory zabranoval obidenie prekazky.
Po Mnichovskej zrade pripadli juzne uzemia Slovenska pozdlz takmer celej Ceskoslovensko-Madarskej hranice Madarsku a opevnenie hranic bolo zburane s preciznostou, s akou to nerobili ani Nemci. Avsak maly usek hranice v Slanskych vrchoch ostal nepohnuty, co ma za nasledok, ze tu mozme aj dnes ako-tak uvidiet to, co bolo inde nenavratne znicene.
A harmincasevekben, amikor a kozelgo haborusveszely elott Csehszlovakia szilarditotta az orszaghatarai biztonsagat, nem feledkezett meg az erdei utakrol sem. Minden a csehszlovak hatart atszelo ut feltetlen blokkolva kellett hogy legyen.
Erre a celra az allamhatar kozvetlen kozeleben, a legmegfelelobb helyen betontombok voltak kiepitve amellyekbol besullyesztett sindarabok meredeztek ki. Az illyen akadaly korul gyakran sancot astak az ellenseg oldalarol, hogy az akadalyt ne lehessen megkerulni.



A Muncheni arulas utan Szlovakia deli orszagreszei Magyarorszaghoz voltak csatolva es ennek kovetkezteben a kiepitett akadalyrendszer olyan alapossaggal lett eltavolitva majdnem az egesz orszaghatar hosszusagaban amilyennel a nemetek sem dolgoztak. Ennek ellenere , egy rovidke szakasz a Szalanci hegysegekben erintetlen maradt es ennek koszonhetjuk,hogy ma is lathatjuk azt ami masutt tonkre lett teve.

Just take a look on photo to get back for 70 years to imagine this place. The photo is taken from very detailed report named "Denkschrift uber die tschecho-slowakische Landesbefestigung". The photo does not present this part of the road but it could help you not just to imagine this place before war but to find the cache as well. So good luck !

Approaching the cache just take a look on holes along both sides of the road. It seems to be the rest of war shelters.
