[HU:] "Amikor az ember határozott cél felé tart...nagyon fontos, hogy az útnak is szenteljen figyelmet. Az út az, amely mindig megmutatja a célba érés legjobb módját, s útközben gazdagodunk. (...) Az lehet jobb vagy rosszabb, attól függően, melyik utat választjuk az eléréséhez, és hogy miképpen járjuk ezt az utat. Ezért olyan fontos ...felfedezni a titkokat mindabban, amit megszokásból, mindennap látunk, de amelyeket rutinból képtelenek vagyunk észrevenni."
Paulo Coelho fenti idézete motiválta ezt a geoláda sorozatot, amely sajátságos módon mutatja be Magyarországot. A megyénként elrejtett 26-26 láda csak a célt határozza meg, de a közöttük meghúzódó út megtalálása és az utazás az, aminek során felfedi igazi arcát az adott megye. Azért reméljük, hogy a megtalált ládák is felfednek eddig még nem ismert, "kiskincseket" az adott megyében.
A ládákban található négy karakteres jelszavakra a játék során szükséged lesz, ne felejtsd el megjegyezni azokat!
[EN:]"When you are moving toward an objective...It is very important to pay attention to the road. It is the road that teaches us the best way to get there, and the road enriches us as we walk its length. (...) It will turn out to be better or worse depending on the route you choose to reach it and the way you negotiate that route. That’s why...it extracts from what we are used to seeing every day the secrets that because of our routine, we never see."
Paulo Coelho's quote above motivated this geocache series, which presents Hungary its own peculiar way. The 26-26 caches hidden in the counties only determines the goal, but the travel the road among them will reveal the true face of the given county. We hope that the found caches can reveal previously unknown, "little treasures" in a given county.
The four-character passwords in the geocaches are necessary in the game, do not forget to remember them.

The history of Old Stage Coach Road.
Once upon a time there was a main county-road of 37 kms length across Zselic hilly country, the Old Stage Coach Road. What is to say you can find its contiguous sections also today those are town and village streets, asphalt-covered roads and mostly field and forest cartroads.
Before building of today No67 highway it was the most frequented route between Kaposvár and Szigetvár (from the beginning of the 18th century up to second half of the 19th century).
What is interesting in connection with this route? This route is approximately a straight one, although it passes through hilly country, in addition you find no bridges. The explanation of this fact is that this route passes from beginning to ending on watersheds (drainage divides). The topography of Zselic features long hill-ridges those are about the same height.
A couple of million years ago the giant Pannon-lake (it was situated in the whole Carpathian-basin) was filled up with clayey alluvian deposits and a plain came in existence. This plain got elevated later to 200-300 m height and a low plateau came in existence. Te water-erosion long, narrow walleys deepened into the plateau. The ramained parts are the narrow, steep side hills of the approximately same heights with horizontal ridges. These ridges lead you in case you go along this route.
The legend of Old Stage Coach Road
This wooded area was a haunt of highwaymen in the 18th-19th century. Many legends have survived about the outlaws. One of these is the legend of the Stage Coach Road as it follows.
„A long time ago there was no road through the woods. This countryside was best known by the outlaws who lived in the forests. A condemned outlaw showed the shortest path between the two cities and therefore he released from prison.”

A középső szakasz ládája Somogyhárságy határában rejtőzik. A kis láda tégla alatt lapul, a partoldal tetején fatörzsek tövén. A partoldalra ott menj fel, ahol egy vastag fa erősen kikönyököl az útra.
