Geocache Description:


HR

Drugi cache iz serije o retencijama nalazi se u nastavku Šestinskog dola.

Kao i ostale retencije na Medvednici, i ova je izgrađena s ciljem zaštite grada od poplava, koje su znale nastajati uslijed obilih kiša. Sveukupno ih je na području Medvednice izgrađeno 40-ak.

Retencija regulira vodni režim vodotoka, na način da u jednom kraćem vremenskom intervalu zadrži vodenu masu i kontrolirano je ispušta u kanalizacijski sustav, kako ga ne bi preopteretila.

Ova retencija predstavlja i mjesto na kojem se potok Kunišćak uvodi u kanalizaciju i gdje nestaje njegovo otvoreno korito, te je po njemu i dobila ime.

Od ove retencije prema sjeveru vodi zgodan makadam pogodan za jogging, pa ako ima cachera sa sportskim ambicijama…

This is a second cache from Retention series.

On the southern and western side of Medvednica you can find approx. 50 creeks and streams of different sizes. After the big flooding of Maksimir and Dubrava in 1990 (Zagreb town areas) that was caused by heavy rain, city authorities started with a progam of flood protection. Therefore numerouse levees are built on lower Sljeme area in order to slower water rush from the hills, during rainy period (up to 40 by now).

This retention was named after a creek Kunišćak that dissapears here in Zagreb's sewer system.

There is a nice unpaved road that starts near this place, great for jogging or hiking, so if you're cacher with a sports ambitions – there you go.
