Cache is hidden inside of the St. Peter on The Rock church. It is a small red plastic container that was candle before. Initialy it contained a small green Android figure and a logg written on the receit. So if u can please bring a more decent loggbook because i had to improvize.
In 1511. Ottomans had the town and fort of Pazin under siege and some Ottoman parties were pillaging Istria. But brave Croatian and Austrian forces defeated them in the Beram strait and drove them away from Istria. By the legend church was built by Croatian knight who managed to escape and hide from the Ottoman Jannisary pillagers who were hunting him. To show his gratitude to God he built this little and simple Church on the giant rock. In the late 20. century there was a legend that there is a Ottoman treasure burried around or somewhere inside of the church. Villagers from arround destroyed the church interior in search for gold but found nothing. You can try your luck searching for the gold and treasure and of course try to find my geocache. If you have more than one item please put it inside the container.
