SK: Micinske travertiny
Narodna prirodna pamiatka Micinske travertiny patri k mimoriadne hodnotnym prirodnym uzemiam Slovenska. Nachadza sa pri ceste medzi obcami Cerin a Dolna Micina a patri medzi najvyznamnejsie travertinove lokality na Slovensku. Micinske travertiny tvori sustava niekolkych travertinovych kopok, na ktorych vrcholkoch sa nachadzaju jazierka s neustale prameniacou mineralnou vodou. Vplyvom usadzovania travertinu sa v okoli ich odtokov vytvaraju dalsie travertinove polia. Cele uzemie, na ktorom sa nachadzaju Micinske travertiny sa nachadza v celku Zvolenskej kotliny, vo vyske asi 400 m. n. m. a je viac menej rovinate. Hlavna cast travertinoveho loziska vznikla uz v mladsej polovici holocenu, pricom sa v tejto oblasti az do obdobia epiatlantika (4000-1250 pred n. l.) rozprestieral karpatsky prales a iba bezprostredne okolie pramenov bolo bezlese. Nasli sa tu aj crepy eneolitickej kanelovanej keramiky. Dnesny sucasny stav uzemia je uz vysledkom posobenia prirodnych cinitelov. Okolo zo zeme vyvierajucich mineralnych pramenov sa tu vytvarali uzke, dovnutra previsnute valy. Niektore maju bochnikovity a plochokuzelovity tvar. Typickym javom tychto kop su kratery. Styri kratery patria k studnovemu typu, jeden je kotlovity, jeden miskovity a osem ma specificky “micinsky” typ. Je na nizkej plochej kope, kde sa okolo krateru vytvara uzky pramenitovy, krehky, dovnutra previsly val. Hladina v krateri je casto pokryta riasami. Po preruseni vyveru miesta vysychaju a postupne sa v terene stracaju.
Micinske travertiny sa nachadzaju priblizne 14 kilometrov od mesta Banska Bystrica, nalavo od parkoviska, ktore lezi pri statnej ceste z Dolnej Micinej do Cerina. Tato Narodna prirodna pamiatka zachovava povodny stav teritoria, s minimalnym zasahom do terenu. Kazdorocne sa na travertinoch citlivo robi odstranovanie travinnej a naletovej drevinovej vegetácie.
Vramci arealu sa nachadza aj odberne miesto mineralnej vody.

EN: Travertines of Micina
Travertines of Micina (Micinske travertiny) is a unique natural monument not only in Slovakia but also in Central Europe. It is a combination of several travertine piles, their tops are lakes with constantly springing mineral water. Due to the deposition of travertine are formed around the drain travertine other travertine fields.
Place is located south of the Dolna Micina (15 km SE from Banska Bystrica) in the immediate vicinity of the road (parking) in the direction of Cerin. Part of the trail is also a source of strong earthy iron oxide mineral.
To log this cache you need to send me message or email me (via the link to my profile at the top of the page) with the answers to the following questions:
1. What is travertine? (based on table at the location), for foreign gecachers another description is acceptable.
2. What is the "lenght" of "watter eye" on the biggest active travertine, wich one is it? (optionaly you can send photo)
3. What is the "project name" which is dedicated to Micina travertine protection? (QP waypoint will help you.)
4. Degust the mineral water and by your own words describe its taste.
