Geocache Description:


Jeste li znali da pogled iz zraka na središte Zagreba donosi sreću?
Did you know that the air view of the center of Zagreb brings luck?


Zelena potkova naziv je za slijed od sedam zagrebačkih trgova i Botanički vrt koji čine zelenu oazu u središtu grada. Njezino estetsko oblikovanje ostvareno je prožimanjem hortikulture, arhitekture i skulpture. Tim monumentalnim urbanističkim planom iz druge polovine 19. stoljeća postavljen je temelj razvoja Zagreba kao modernoga europskog grada.
Green horseshoe is the name for a sequence of seven squares and the Botanical Garden that make the green oasis in the Zagreb city center. Its aesthetic design was accomplished through the interweaving of horticulture, architecture and sculpture. With this monumental urban plan from the second half of the 19th century, there were laid foundations of Zagreb as a modern European city.

19th century horseshoe

Mjesta budućih trgova označena su već 1865. godine. Iako nije idejni autor kako se dugo vjerovalo, nesumnjivo najveći udio u ostvarenju tog plana imao je najvažniji zagrebački urbanist i arhitekt 19. stoljeća Milan Lenuci (1849.-1924.), pa se ovaj zeleni pojas u srcu grada često naziva i Lenucijeva potkova. Početne koordinate dovest će vas ispred zgrade koju je Lenuci projektirao, sagradio i u njoj sve do smrti stanovao.
The locations of future squares were marked already in 1865. Although he was not the one who came up with idea, as it was long believed, Milan Lenuci (1849-1924), the most important Zagrebian urban designer and architect of the 19th century, was undoubtedly the largest contributor to this plan, so this green belt in the heart of the city is often called Lenuci's Horseshoe. The starting coordinates will bring you in front of the building Lenuci designed, built and lived in until his death.

Na svakoj od osam lokacija koje čine potkovu naći ćete slovo ili broj koji ćete pretvoriti u slovo (A=1, …, Z=26). Osam slova (ukupne sume 128) čini anagram engleske riječi povezane s temom koju ćete unijeti u checker i dobiti konačne koordinate.
At each of the eight locations that make up the horseshoe you will find a letter or number that you will convert to a letter (A = 1, ..., Z = 26). Eight letters (with a total sum of 128) make an anagram of the English word associated with the theme which you will enter in the checker and get the final coordinates.

Iako za rješavanje nije nužno obići svih osam lokacija, svakako to preporučujemo. Ne samo što će vas sretnima učiniti ljepota Zelene potkove, nego ćete osvojiti i srećonosni banner. Dovoljno je da nam porukom ili e-mailom pošaljite točna slova po prolaznim točkama.
Although it is not necessary to visit all eight locations, we strongly recommend this. Not only will it make you happy to see the beauty of the Green Horseshoe, but you will also win a lucky banner. You just need to send us a message or an e-mail with correct letters on the waypoints.
