Meandry Smede Traditional Cache

Prijmete pozvani do jednoho z nejseverneji polozenych chranenych uzemí republiky, do rozmanite krajiny kolem reky Smede, do jednoho ze zapomenutych koutu Frydlantska, ktery stoji za navstiveni.

MEANDRY SMEDE

Reka Smeda je nejvyznamnejsim tokem na Frydlantsku a od sveho pramene v Jizerskych horach urazi 46 km nez opusti ceske uzemi. Jeji povodi patri k nejvodnatejsim u nas, coz Smeda potvrdila v rijnu (roku 2010), kdy Frydlantsko postihla povoden jakou tento kraj nepamatuje.

Prirodni rezervace Meandry Smede byla vyhlasena 1. cervence 1998 na ochranu nezamenitelneho charakteru krajiny v podobe prirozene vyvyjijejiciho se toku, jeho mrtvych ramen a siroke udolni nivy. Geologicke podlozi chraneneho uzemi o rozloze 137 ha tvori kvarterni sedimenty a granitoidy.

V lokalite s vyznamnymi mokrady a ekosystemem svahoveho listnateho lesa zije na 40 druhu chranenych zivocichu – krome ptactva napr. vydra ricni, colek velky, slidak popelavy nebo blatnice skvrnita. Ze vzacne flory vazane na zdejsi ekosystemy muzeme jmenovat dablika bahenniho, ostrici sachorovitou, lilii zlatohlavek nebo pizmovku obecnou.

Soucasti prirodni rezervace je i Dubak – s 9 ha nejvetsi rybnik Frydlantskeho vybezku. Jeho 800 metru dlouhou hraz zpevnuji mohutne duby v cele s Vladcem Dubaku. Jelikoz zde neprobiha intenzivni rybolovne hospodareni, tak rybnik poskytuje jedinecne prirodni podminky pro desitky zivocisnych druhu a je také vyznamnym ornitologickym stanovistem. V letech 2006 a 2007 doslo k rekonstrukci hraze, o cemz si vice budete moci precist na informacnich tabulich v rezervaci.

Prirodni rezervace Meandry Smede je pomerne spatne dostupna lokalita, coz je dobre pro prirodu, ale uz hure pro jeji navstevniky. Pokud nejste zdejsi, tak doporujuji cestu pres Frydlant po silnici cislo 13 smerem k hranicnimu prechodu a pred Habarticemi odbocit smerem na Cernousy. Po nastartovani peskobusu nabizim tri cesty k cili, tedy do srdce prirodni rezervace. I loudavym tempem se ke kesi dostanete kazdou z techto cest do hodiny.

1. Rybnicni cesta – Zde je treba odbocit autem pred hostincem a dotrmacet se nad rybnicek Olsovecek, kde u lesa muzete nechat geovuz (waypoint P1). Pesky pak minete R1 a po zelene turisticke znacce se dostanete nad rybnik Dubak. Tuto variantu doporucuji, i kdyz cesta byva casto rozbahnena a nad rybnikem vam v lete budou delat spolecnost tisice mravencu.

2. Hospodska cesta – Tuto cestu jsem objevil az pri cilenem hledani dalsich pristupovych mist a i kdyz je o neco delsi nez Rybnicni cesta, tak neni nijak zvlast narocna. Zaparkovat muzete u hospody U kastanu (P2) a pak kolem R2 po klasicke polni ceste dojdete az k cili.

3. Dobrodruhova cesta – Pokud chcete z reky videt co nejvice a nevadi vam narocnejsi teren a krajina vypadajici jako bitevni pole dokumentujici nasledky povodne, tak zvolte tuto cestu. Davejte ale pozor na podemlete brehy, prechod pres koleje a vyvracene stromy. Geovuz muzete zanechat naproti obecnimu uradu (P3) a kolem nadrazi (R3) sledujte zelenou turistickou znacku. Tato cesta neni vhodna pro male deti.

Kes je mala 0,5 l lock & lock krabicka s logbookem a par predmety na vymenu.

Na miste se prosim chovejte podle techto zasad:

1. Kes hledejte tak, at to nevypada, ze se kolem prehnalo stado divokych prasat
2. Vnitrni prostor kese udrzujte v cistote
3. S vyjimkou GC a TB se snazte menit predmety za drobnosti o priblizne stejne hodnote (nicmene pokud nemate s sebou nic na vymenu a neco si odnesete bez nahrady, tak se svet taky nezbori)
4. Nevkladejte penize, jidlo, zapalky, leky a dalsi nebezpecne veci (ridte se zdravym rozumem) a take nevkladejte predmety a bordel, ktery patri na smetiste
5. Po zapsani nalezu do logbooku kes ulozte zpet na sve misto a radne ji zamaskujte

MEANDER OF SMEDA

River Smeda is the most important watercourse in region around Frydlant. Czech part of Smeda is 46 km long. Her drainage area is one of the most watery in Czech Republic – like proofs are disastrous floods (in Oct 2010).

Natural reserve Meander of Smeda was established in 1998 because of landscape´s charakter protection. Protected area with a river, meander and wide river flood-plain is in extend 137 ha.

In this area with significant wetlands and slope-forest ecosystem live about 40 protected race of animals – many birds, eurasian otter, crested newt, wolf spider or spadefoot toad. Between rare flora can we put for example calla, martagon or moschatel.

To Natural reserve belongs a pond Dubak (=Oakpond) too. His area is 9 ha and dam is about 800 m long with mighty oaks and Master of Oakpond. The meaning is in the main like a ornitological habitat.

Natural reserve Meander of Smeda is quite bad accessible place, so I recommend you a road number 13 across Frydlant and before Habartice turn to Cernousy. After parking I offer you three possibilities to find final destination. The trip is not long - any of ways take less than hour to finding cache.

1. Rybnicni (Pondway) – At first you have to turn by tavern and then over a small pond you can park your geocar by forest (waypoint P1). On foot you walk around R1 up green tourist mark to Oakpond.

2. Hospodska (Pubway) – This way is a little bit longer than Rybnicni, but not comlicated and this is typical rural road. Parking is by tavern (P2).

3. Dobrodruhova (Adventureway) – The most illustrative way, but after floods is terrain quite difficult – be careful of bank on the river and going over railway track. Parking is in front with municipal office (P3) and you have to go around railway station up green tourist mark. This way is not suitable for little children.

Cache is a small 0,5 l lock & lock box with logbook and a few items.

On final location behave you please in agreement with this principles:

1. Seek cache like a people, not like an animals
2. Save inside space in cleanness
3. Except GC and TB make a trade for items with the same value (or higher)
4. Don´t put in items like money, meal, matches, medicaments and others dangerous things
5. After logging give back cache on original place and properly cover up
