Mestni park / The town park
Geocache Description
Krško
Krško je danes osrednje mesto Posavja in občinsko središče. Reka Sava deli Krško na dva dela, na desnem bregu Save leži nekdanje prvotno mesto, današnje staro mestno jedro Krškega, ki se je sredi preteklega stoletja združil z Vidmom, ki leži na levem bregu reke Save. Je edino mesto v Sloveniji, ki je cerkveno-upravno razdeljeno na dve škofiji, levi breg Save spada pod celjsko, desni pa pod novomeško škofijo.
Krško is today the central city of Posavje and a municipal centre. The longest river in Slovenia (The Sava) connects and at the same time disconnects. The former, original settlement lies on the right bank of the river. In the middle of the last century, the settlement was joined with Videm, which lies on the left river bank. It is the only town in Slovenia that is divided between two dioceses in terms of church administration, the Celje and the Novo mesto.
Mestni park
Na desnem bregu reke Save, v starem mestnem jedru Krškega, se nahaja čudovit park, v katerem je bilo nekdaj pokopališče. Tu še vedno stoji cerkvica sv. Križa, ki je bila zgrajena leta 1891. Vendar pa cerkev že od prvih let po 2. svetovni vojni ne služi več verskemu namenu. Leta 2003 je bila obnovljena in se danes imenuje Dvorana v parku. V njej potekajo poročne zaobljube, kulturne prireditve in drugi dogodki.
On the right bank of the river Sava there is a beautifull park. Once there was a cemetery in the park. The church of Holy Cross still stands there although it doesn't serve to its religious purpose from the first years after 2nd world war on. It was built in 1891. It was restored in 2003. The today's name of building is The Hall, situated in the park with wedding celebrations, cultural performances and other events.

Desno od Dvorane se nahajata vrtec in kapucinski samostan s cerkvijo, ki je bil zgrajen leta 1644. V zgornjem nadstropju samostanske stavbe je ohranjena kapucinska baročna knjižnica, ki hrani 1344 knjig pretežno nabožnih vsebin v latinskem, nemškem in italijanskem jeziku. Najstarejša ohranjena knjiga v knjižnici je Calepinov latinski slovar iz leta 1502, ki ima še danes povsem uporabno vrednost.
V spodnjih prostorih samostana pa deluje današnja osrednja, sodobno urejena in bogato založena Valvasorjeva knjižnica.
On the right side of The Hall there are kindergarten and a Capuchin convent with a church (built in 1644). Capuchin baroque library is placed on the upper floor of the convent building, respectively above the present rich provided Valvasor Library Krško. There are 1344 books. The most books are religious in Latin, German or Italian language. The oldest preserved book in the library is Calepin's Latin dictionary from 1502, which has even nowadays its useful value.

Levo od Dvorane stoji Hočevarjev mavzolej v obliki osmerokotne novogotske kapele s piramidno streho. Ta stavba spada med najbolj zrele psevdogotske spomenike pri nas. V njem sta pokopana zakonca Martin in Josipina Hočevar - največja dobrotnika mesta Krško. Z njunim denarjem so zgradili krško meščansko šolo, bolnišnico ter druge pomembne stavbe cerkvenega, društvenega in upravnega življenja.
On the left side of The Hall there is The Hočevar mausoleum in a form of an octagonal new gothic chapel with a pyramidal roof. This building belongs to the most mature gothic monuments in our country. The married couple Martin and Josepina Hočevar are buried here. They were the biggest benefactors of the city of Krško. The Krško civil school, hospital and other important religious, cultural and administrative buildings were built with the help of their money.

Nasproti mavzoleja je grob pisatelja in advokata Janeza Mencingerja ter grob pisca prve krške zgodovine (izšla leta 1894) in prvega ravnatelja meščanske šole ter ustanovitelja okrajne posojilnice Ivana Lapajneta.
V neposredni bližini Dvorane v parku se nahaja »Gaj zaslužnih občanov«. Tu so doprsni kipi ljudi, ki so bili rojeni v Krškem, so tukaj živeli in ustvarjali ter s svojim delom bistveno prispevali v zakladnico slovenskih presežkov na različnih področjih:
- Jurij Dalmatin (ok. 1547 - 1589): Slovencem je »podaril« prvi slovenski prevod Svetega pisma oz. Biblije. Izšla je v 15000 izvodih. Od leta 2015 hrani en izvod restavrirane originalne Biblije tudi Valvasorjeva knjižnica, ki se nahaja v neposredni bližini.
- Adam Bohorič (ok. 1520 - 1598 ): prvi slovenski protestantski šolnik, napisal je prvo slovensko slovnico Arcticae horulae (Zimske urice);

- prof. France Vardjan (1900 – 1994): ugledni kmetijski strokovnjak in pisec strokovnih knjig;
- Vladimir Štoviček (1896 – 1989): akademski kipar in medaljer;
- Josipina Hočevar (1824 – 1911): mestna dobrotnica;
Besides a mausoleum there is also a grave of a writter and a barrister Janez Mencinger and a grave of a writer of the first Krško history, a head master of the civil school and a founder of the country loan society Ivan Lapajne.
Here is also The Park of Worthy Men. We can find here some bust sculptures of the people who were born here, lived and created in this town and whoose work represents a tremendous contribution to the treasure chest of Slovenian superlatives from different fields:
- Jurij Dalmatin (1547 – 1589): he gave us the first Slovenian traslation of the Holy Bible. The whole Bible was published in 1584 in 1,500 issues.
- Adam Bohorič (1520 – 1598): the first Slovenian teacher, he wrote the first Slovenian grammar book Articae Horulae (Winter hours);
