GeoKissing Crikvenica – Gruh na Kotoru, Crikvenica

Ovaj veliki nasip od kamenja nalazi se s jugozapadne srane brijega na 125 m n. v. i s njega se pružapogled na Crikvenicu, morski kanal i otok Krk. Put dalje vodi kroz naselje pored ostataka crkve sv. Šimuna i Jude Tadeja na koju se naslanja velika vodosprema sagrađena 1941. godine. Uspinjemo li se dalje doći ćemo do najviše točke brijega na 162 metra n. v. na kojoj se nalaze ruševine romaničke crkve sv. Jurja i tagovi prapovijesnog naselja iz brončanog doba.

O nekadašnjoj važnosti Kotora svjedoči podatak da se u ovom malom naselju nekoć nalazilo veliki broj crkava i kapela (prema nekim izvorima čak šest) od kojih su danas ostale tek ruševine, dok su neke potpuno nestale. Veliki požar 1776. uništio je gotovo cijelo naselje nakon čega se većina stanovništva preselila u Crikvenicu.

Pristup ovoj lokaciji nije jednostavan. Morate se opremiti tenisicama i štapom, koji će vam dobro poslužiti ako naiđete na zmiju, što nije rijetkost u ljetnim mjesecima. Kotor je brijeg i istoimeno napušteno srednjovjekovno naselje u neposrednom zaleđu Crikvenice. Do naselja vodi makadamski put, ali, ako imate bolju kondiciju, brže ćete doći strmom stazom koja vodi do samog kamenog gruha. Pristup stazi nalazi se iz Kotorske ulice između kuća s brojevima 64A i 66. Na kamenom gruhu ste za dvadesetak minuta.

 

GeoKissing Crikvenica  - Gruh (stone scree) on Kotor, Crikvenica

Kavranova sten (rock) rises above Crikvenica at 290 m above sea-level. A favourite footpath of the people of Crikvenica, „Love Path“, leads to this belvedere. The path was designed by Ante Premužić in co-operation with Alfons Kauders, and its name originates from many couples in love who found there a quiet secluded corner. The path leads through a pine forest to the ruins of the Badanj fort (73 m above sea-level), dating back to the Late Antiquity, which had been evacuated after the big earthquake in 1323, when much of the fort was destroyed. The path climbs further to a puddle surrounded by the forest, and ends on the Kavranova sten that offers an outstanding view of the sea channel between the mainland and the island of Krk. This puddle freezes in the winter, and children from Crikvenica used to come here to ice-skate and play hockey.

 

Access to this location is a bit more demanding. It is an excellent route for all the hikers and skillful walkers. So, wear your trainers, make sure to bring a bottle of water and walk into an adventure. Expect a long walk along the „Love Path“, which is accessed from Sopaljska and Vinodolska ulica. Shortly before you reach the ruins of the Badanj fort, the path separates. Follow the left path, which steeply leads to the top. To reach Kavranova sten (Kavranova Rock), you should pass by a small puddle, where you can take a break in a pleasant forest shade. After you climb to the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view, and then you can start searching for our GeoKiss.

Sretno traženje!

Happy hunting!
