Geocache Description:

Event dates: 01.09.2016, 19:00 - 20:00

It was in May 1964, when famous film director and producer Alfred Hitchcock checked into Room 204 of the classic and now closed Hotel Zagreb on the waterfront in Zadar. After his first evening there, he said: “The sunset of Zadar is the world’s most beautiful and incomparably better than in Key West, Florida.”

You see, the sundown in Zadar ist definitely a must-see and Jupiter is one of the best places to watch it. Jupiter? Yes there is a Jupiter at the Zadar waterfront. The coastal line in Zadar old town was reconstructed some years ago and provided with some attractions. One of them is the famous Sea organ, an experimental musical instrument, which plays music by way of sea waves and another is the Monument to the sun, a model of the solar system made of 300 multi-layered glass plates wit a 22m-sized sun and all planets in the same scale. The panels store the sun light during the day an when it gets dark, they are iluminated.

Monument iluminated

As the earth is just a few centimeters in diameter, we decided to meet you near Jupiter, which is about one meter in size.

So we'd like to meet you all at the above coordinates on:
Sept. 1st at 7:00pm to check, if good old Alfred was right. The Logbook will be available until 8:00 pm
Official sundown time is 7:33pm
