Geocache Description:



[HR]
Zagrebački tunel "Sljeme" su izgradili ratni zarobljenici iz Drugog svjetskog rata u periodu od 1947 do 1952. godine. Prvotna ideja je bila napraviti tunel kroz cijelu Medvednicu i spojiti Zagreb kroz planinu od Gračana do Zagorja kod Pila. Od namjere izgradnje tunela kroz cijelu Medvednicu kasnije se odustalo iako ta ideja živi i danas. Kasnije je također bilo govora o tome da se napravi tunel s tri cijevi kroz Medvednicu koji bi trebao biti duži od 6 km (ulaz na današnjoj poziciji tunela, a izlaz kod kamenoloma Jelenje vode u naselju Kraljv Vrh). Tunel je trebao imati tri cijevi; kroz dvije cijevi trebale bi ići prometnice s dvije trake, a kroz srednju cijev šinska vozila. Bio bi to tada najduži tunel u Hrvatskoj jer je npr. tunel "Učka" dugačak oko 5,1 km, tunel "Sv. Rok" oko 5,7 km i tunel "Mala Kapela" oko 5,8 km.

Zagreb tunnel "Sljeme" built by prisoners of war from World War II between 1947 and 1952. year. The original idea was to make a tunnel through the entire Medvednica and connect Zagreb through the mountain from the citizens to Zagorje in Pila. The intention to construct a tunnel through the entire Medvednica later dropped, although the idea is still alive. Later he was also talking about how to make a tunnel with three tubes through Medvednica, which should be no longer than 6 km (entrance at today's position of the tunnel, and exit at the quarry in the village water Jelenje Kraljv Top). The tunnel was supposed to have three tubes, the two pipes should go to a two-lane road, and the intermediate pipe rail vehicles. It would be then the longest tunnel in Croatia because it is the tunnel "Učka" about 3.1 miles long tunnel, "Sv. Rok" about 3.6 miles tunnel and "Mala Kapela" about 3.6 miles.
