Geocache Description:

Cache is hidden inside of the public park so take care because there will be many muggles around. It is easy to find and you will see the remains of the old Kaptol walls.

Zagreb was formed by uniting two old city cores : Kaptol and Gradec. Until then they were independent cities, situated on two neighboring hills beneath the Medvednica (Bear mountain). They were separated by a small spring called Medvešcak (Bear spring). Now the spring runs underneath the Tkalciceva street famous for it's many bars and restaurants.

Gradec was a free merchant city and Kaptol was cleric city run by the Church. They were both reinforced by strong walls. Monks and priests used to walk by the walls of Kaptol and thats why the park and street are called Opatovina (Priests street). You can still see the remains of that walls.

After finding the cache i suggest a beer in very nice Oliwer Twist Pub just underneath the walls or the Mali Medo (small bear) brewery. If you are hungry I suggest Mali Medo which has very good grill or tratoria Nocturno located in Skalinska street just a minute from the cache. Nocturno is famous for it's Italian cuisine and great deserts.

Initial contents : Unity GC, solar powered car toy, Croatia keychain, logbook, pencil
