Cenarius: Hi ein tiroler,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:


Dabei handelt es sich um eine, in der Zeit zwischen 2005 und 2010, freigelegte archäologische Ausgrabungen 2 km westlich des Prishtina International Airport nahe der Ortschaft Harilaq.

Der Reste des Festungsbaus aus dem 4. bis 6. Jhd. n. Chr. liegt auf einer Anhöhe, von der aus man einen weiten Bereich der Umgebung südlich von Prishtina überblicken konnte.

Innerhalb des 1,3 ha umfassenden Festungswerkes wurde neben einem dreischiffigen Kirchchenfundament weitere Profan- und Zweckbauten entdeckt. Der Zweck einiger Gebäude gibt den Archäologen bis heute Rätsel auf, und ist für den kosovarischen Raum einzigartig. Die gefundenen Artefakte sind im Museum von Prishtina ausgestellt.

Sie können fast bis zum Ziel fahren. Nur die letzten 100 Meter müssen zu Fuß zurückgelegt werden.

Genießen Sie den Ausblick vom Parkplatz über das angrenzende Vorgelände, und viel Erfolg bei der Suche.
