Geocache Description:


[RO] De aceasta data va invitam la o plimbare de aproximativ 3 ore dus-întors, pe una din cele mai frumoase poteci din padurea Faget. Este vorba de traseul turistic de pe creasta Capu Dealului, chiar marcata cu marcajul dunga rosie pe fundal alb. (Marcajul duce pâna la Cheile Turzii). Poteca porneste de la capatul liniilor de transport în comun din cartierul Manastur (mai exact din stânga portii parcului Unirea) si merge deasupra, pe creasta dealului, la est de drumul asfaltat pâna la Cabana Faget (care este acum în paragina). Prietenii si cunostintele noastre vorbesc despre acest traseu drept Drumul Páter, primind aceasta denumire dupa un cunoscut botanist transilvanean care a trait si a lucrat în Cluj la sfârsitul secolului 19, începutul secolului 20. Noi va sfatuim sa parcurgeti tot traseul, de la Manastur pâna la cabana (chiar daca ati gasit cutia), deoarece este un traseu usor si deosebit de placut.

[EN] This time we invite you to walk about 3 hours round trip on one of the most beautiful trails in Faget forest. It is a tourist trail that goes on the crest of the hill called Capu Dealului, and it's even marked with red stripe. (The red stripe leads to Turda Gorges). The path starts at the end of public transportation line in Manastur district (more exactly from the left of the Unirea Park's entrance gate) and leads above the crest of the hill, east of the paved road, straight to the Faget tourist shelter (which is now derelict). Our friends and acquaintances talk about this route as a Road Páter, as it was named after a famous Transylvanian botanist who lived and worked in Cluj in the late 19th century and early 20th century. We advise you to walk all the way from Manastur up to the lodge (even if you find the box) because this is a very easy and pleasant journey.

[RO] Béla Páter (1860-1938) a fost unul dintre cei mai renumiti botanisti din Transilvania. Deasemenea a fost un cercetator de plante medicinale de talie europeana. Dupa studiile efectuate în tara si în strainatate, în 1894 ajunge profesor de botanica la Facultatea de Agricultura din Cluj, apoi devine rectorul nou înfiintatei Academii de Stiinte Agricole. În 1904 a înfiintat la Cluj prima statie de cercetare a plantelor medicinale din lume (!) unde a fost director pâna în 1931. A facut experimente cu nu mai putin de 136 de specii, în majoritatea cazurilor fiind primul care a publicat lucrari stiintifice despre posibilitatea cultivarii acestora. Cele mai importante lucrari ale lui Páter Béla sunt Plante medicinale salbatice (Ed. Bucovina, Bucuresti, 1926) si Cultura plantelor medicinale (Ed. Bucovina, Bucuresti, 1927) ambele aparute în limba româna.

[EN] Béla Páter (1860-1938) was one of the most famous botanists of Transylvania. He was a European class researcher of medicinal plants. After finishing his studies at home and abroad, in 1894 reached Professor of Botany at the Faculty of Agriculture, Cluj, and later became rector of the newly created Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In 1904, for the first time in the world (!), he established a research station of medicinal plants in Cluj, where he was manager until 1931. He did experiments with no fewer than 136 species, in most cases being the first who published scientific papers about the possibility of their cultivation. The most important works of Béla Páter are Wild Medicinal Plants (Ed. Bucovina, Bucuresti, 1926) and Medicinal Plants' Culture (Ed. Bucovina, Bucuresti, 1927) both published in Romanian.
