Geocache Description:


Fort1 Chitila


Along with Fort Otopeni, Chitila was built in 1887 entirely according to the Brialmont's plans, in a pentagonal shape.

 

Initial equipment: 3 double domes Montlucon and St Chamond type - cal 15mm, 2 simple mortar turrets Montlucon type - cal. 21mm, 5 eclipse turrets Gruson type and 13 Gruson & Hotchkiss turrets - cal. 53mm.

 

The fort, which covers more than 6 acres, was disarmed in 1916. The land now partially belongs to a private company that serves as storage for wine.

 

*****************************************************************************************************************************
Take care:
The access area to the fort is full of rubbish! (For those who want to) It's a good opportunity to practice CITO: cache in, trash out.

Not a field puzzle. Pay special attention to the cache attributes. Do not attempt this one alone! during night or in rainy days!
