Geocache Description:


Josipdol se nalazi u južnom dijelu Karlovačke županije. Kroz Josipdol prolazi jedna od triju cesta koje spajaju Karlovac sa Hrvatskim primorjem, Jozefina. Iako Josipdol administrativno spada pod Karlovačku županiju, mnogi ga smatraju najsjevernijim ličkim gradićem. Zlatnim godinama Josipdola smatra se razdoblje od 1975. do 1985. godine kada su izgrađeni škola, hotel, benzinska postaja, zgrada sadašnje općine, dječji vrtić...1991. godine dolazi ratno vrijeme. Josipdol je bio prva ratna bojišnica. Centar Josipdola uspješno je obranjen uz pomoć MUP-a i josipdolskih dobrovoljaca Domovinskog rata. Obrana Josipdola bila je strateški vrlo važna, jer padom Josipdola u neprijateljske ruke, susjedni grad Ogulin bi se našao na izravnom putu neprijatelja, te bi bilo gotovo nemoguće organizirati njegovu obranu.

Ovaj cache kao dio serije "Jozefinska cesta" vas vodi blizu centra gradića, na most koji vodi preko potoka Munjave, ali i vrlo zanimljive napuštene vodenice uz cestu.



Josipdol is a town in the southwest part of Karlovac county. A historical road Josephina passes through the town. Josipdol is considered the northernmost town in Lika. The Josipdol golden era lasts from 1975 from 1985. School, hotel, petrol station, municipality, kindergarten etc. were all built during the era. The war started in 1991, and Josipdol was the first warfront. The town center was succesfully defended with the help of local policemen and local volunteers. Defence of Josipdol was strategically very important because, if Josipdol faell into enemy's hands, the neighboring town of Ogulin would have been on the direct path of the enemy, and it would be almost impossible to organize its defense.

The cache itself, as a part of the "Josephina road" series, brings you near the town center, on the bridge that goes over the creek Munjava and a very interesting abandoned watermill along the road.
