Brdo Sv. Katarina

Ostaci vojnih objekata na brdu Sv. Katarina iz vremena prije drugog svjetskog rata su manji dio talijanskih pograničnih fortifikacija. Taj sustav fortifikacija poznat je pod nazivom "Alpski bedem" imao je važnu ulogu prilikom bitke za oslobođenje Rijeke u II svjetskom ratu. U tim su se okolnostima pokazale praktički neosvojivim. Čak i danas djeluju još uvijek impozantno i pobuđuju maštu građana. Fantastične priče o beskonačnim tunelima samo su urbana legenda, no bez sumnje stare utvrde predstavljaju vrlo atraktivnu povijesnu baštinu.

Ovaj cache vas vodi do prekrasnog vidikovca s kojeg puca pogled na sam grad, more te planine u okolici Rijeke, ali isto tako pobuđuje i razmišljanja o prošlim vremenima i vojnoj povijesti lokacije.

NAPOMENA: Budite oprezni u potrazi, jer su stijene vrlo visoke i opasne!

Mt. St. Chaterine

Remains of military facilities on the mount St. Catherine from period before World War II are a minor part of the Italian border fortifications. This system of fortifications known as "Alpine rampart" had an important role in the battle for the liberation of the town of Rijeka in WW II. In these circumstances, proved virtually impregnable. Even today they are still impressive and excite the imagination of citizens. Fantastic tales of endless tunnels are just an urban legend, but no doubt this old fortifications represent a very attractive historical heritage.

This cache takes you to a beautiful lookout point with a view of the town, sea and mountains around Rijeka, but also arouses visitor's imagination about military history of this site.

NOTE: Be careful in looking for the cache, because the cliffs are very high and dangerous!
