Geocache Description:


NAJVYSSIA VEZA NA SLOVENSKU /THE HIGHEST TOWER IN SLOVAKIA.
Nech sa k Spisskej Novej Vsi priblizujeme z ktorejkolvek strany, nemozno prehliadnu jej dominatu - vezu farskeho kostola.
Je 87 metrov vysoka a teda z kostolnych vezi na Slovensku najvyssia.

Za svoje prvenstvo vsak vdaci tazkym casom vojny. Povodne mal totiz tento kostol z 13. storocia vezu ovela nizsiu, s barokovym zakoncenim cibuloviteho tvaru. Lenze v roku 1848 nastala tzv. Jar narodov a mnohe miesta Europy zachvatili boje. Uhorsko sa vzburilo proti nadvlade Habsburgovcov, co prerastlo do otvorenej vojny. Vo februari 1849 bola honvedmi obsadena Spisska Nova Ves bombardovana cisarskym delostrelectvom. Jedna naloz zasiahla aj vezu farskeho kostola. Tu zachvatili plamene, zrutila sa strecha i slavne novoveske zvony.
Povodna veza uz nebola obnovena. Namiesto nej bola v rokoch 1892 - 1893 postavena nova vysoka neogoticka veza. Autorom navrhu bol profesor Imrich Steindl, jeden z najvyznamnejsich svetovych neogotickych architektov, architekt slavnej budovy madarskeho parlamentu. Veza sa prestavbou vyrazne zvysila, pribudla neogoticka vyzdoba, na rohoch veze stoja v styroch baldachýnoch sochy evanjelistov. Pribudol aj druhy rad hodin (odtial znamy vyraz - slepi spisiaci; nizsie hodiny su akoze pre domacich a vyssie pre cudzincov), pricom jak horne, tak aj dolne hodiny su pohanane jednym strojom.

Vezu je mozne navstivit, vyhlad stoji zato.

EN:
This cache presents the tower of Roman Catholic Parish church. Church was built in the 13. century. Tower was built in 16. century. In the 17. century the tower had a baroque onion-shaped peak which was preserved until the fire in 1849. In 1892 - 1893 the neo-gothic tower according to the plans of prof. Imrich Steindl was built. It is 87 m high, the highest church-tower in Slovakia.

For informations about ascent on the tower see the waypoint.


SK: Zakladne suradnice ukazuju priamo na vezu, tam vsak nic nehladajte. Veza je dominantou mesta a tvori najcharakteristickejsiu cast jej siluety. Tomu je venovana aj tato cache. Najdete ju blizko miesta, odkial bol nafoteny tento zaber (pod tymto textom) Odporucam vytlacit si verziu pre tlac.

EN: Cache is not on coordinates. Tower represents the most characteristic part of the city silhouette. Cache is on the place, where next foto was taken (use version for print).

Letterboxing je hra podobna geocachingu, ale miesto GPS technologie pouziva napovedu v podobe instrukcii. V kazdom letterboxe najdes peciatku, nou si opeciatkuj svoju osobnu peciatkovaciu knihu (nevadi, ak ju nemas). Ked uz mas svoju vlastnu peciatku (alebo nalepku), pridaj jej otlacok do logbooku. Pokial nemas vlastnu peciatku, nakresli do logbooku navrh, alebo viziu svojej peciatky. PECIATKA NIE JE NA VYMENU !!!!!!!!
