Intro

This is the first (and in 2019 still only) multicache in the country of Montenegro! On our Balkan-trip in 2009 we placed three caches (in MK - AL - MNE). This is the third one: a very little walk (due to the sum) at the bay of Kotor, near a little church. You'll find a micro cache.

History of the bay

The Bay of Kotor (Croatian, Montenegrin, Serbian: Boka Kotorska ) in south-western Montenegro and south-eastern Croatia, is a winding bay on the Adriatic Sea. The bay, sometimes called Europe's southernmost fjord, is in fact a submerged river canyon of the disintegrated Bokelj River which used to run from the high mountain plateaus of Mount Orjen. It is an important tourist attraction in Montenegro.

The bay has been inhabited since antiquity and has some well preserved medieval towns. For example: Kotor, Risan, Tivat, Perast, Herceg Novi and Budva along with their natural surroundings. The religious heritage of the land around the bay - its numerous Orthodox and Catholic Christian churches and monasteries - makes it one of the major pilgrimage sites of the region.

Cache

Park along the road near N42 28.630 - E018 41.430. From there you go via N42 28.638 - E018 41.425 towards the pier on which the lighthouse is standing. Look around there and answer the question to get to the cache:

How many little one feet high concrete poles do you see in total on the platform? This is A = …

Now you can find the cache at: N42 28.(A)19 - E018 41.(A-3)(A+3)6

 

Good luck and enjoy!

Small note on cache maintenance:
The cache was left on holidays. It's a 35mm film box. A local cacher kindly assisted to help with maintenance on this cache.
Thanks a lot!
