Campulung's Crosses

If you're passing through Campulung, it's impossible not to see the big stone crosses, with ancestral motifs, guarding almost all roadcrossings, monuments which completes the historical view of the old city.
The former main city of Wallachia is the only city in Romania on which streets were raised and still maintain 37 votive crosses made out of stone and people, even after 400 years, still worship them.

This multi will not show you all the 37 crosses (Thank You, God!), but, I hope, it will make you see the old city from a different point of view.

Start: N 45° 17.337 E 025° 03.623
Look at the cross. How many sides has the top figure?(A)

Stage 2: N 45° 16.952 E 025° 03.214
On the pole, on the telephony box, written number (5 cifre) (B)

Stage 3: N 45° 16.544 E 025° 02.727

Number of letters of the name of the person which donated the money for building the cross(entire name)(C)
Stage 4: N 45° 16.092 E 025° 02.493

Number of vertical metal poles holding the cross(D)
Stage 5: N 45° 15.706 E 025° 02.298

Number of circles on the cross(E)
Final stage: N 45° 15.(A1+D1)(A1+B5)(D1-B4) E 025° 02.(A1+E1)(C2+B4)C1
where A1 is the first number in A, B3 is the third number in B etc. (for example, if A=40, A2=0)

Good luck!

Dacă treci prin Câmpulung, nu poti să nu remarci crucile mari de piatră, cu motive ancestrale, ce străjuiesc cam toate intesecțiile orașului, monumente care completează parcă, întregindu-l, aerul istoric al bătrânei urbe. Fosta capitală a Tării Românești este singurul oraș din România pe ale carui străzi au fost ridicate și înca se păstrează 37 de cruci votive din piatră la care, de mai bine de 400 de ani, oamenii se închină și-n care-și pun speranțele .

Acest multi nu-ti va arata toate cele 37 de cruci (Multumesc, Doamne!), dar, sper, ca te va face sa vezi batranul oras cu alti och.

Start: N 45° 17.337 E 025° 03.623
Uitati-va la cruce. Cate laturi are figura din varf?(A)
