Sveti Križ Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cenarius: Hi KovacVtc,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:

Sveti Križ / Holy Cross

 

U virovitičkom vinogorju 1757. godine na području današnjeg Milanovca sagrađena je i kapela Sv. Križa koja je u II. svjetskom ratu uništena i više nije obnavljana. U isto vrijeme 1757. sagrađena je kapela Presvetog Trojstva, prvo kao drvena, a 1782. preuređena i popločena ciglom, da bi 1962. bila ponovo obnovljena i dobila današnji izgled. Kapele su Virovitičani već u 18. st. obilazili u procesijama u nedjelju iza blagdana Presvetog Trojstva i Križeva.

Ime naselja Milanovac kao gradsko izletište prvi puta se spominje u 19. st. U čast dolaska župana Virovitičke županije J. J.Strossmayera 1862. godine u Milanovcu je izgrađen obelisk čija se kopija i danas nalazi ispred mjesnog doma. 1880. Sv. Križ i Sv. Trojstvo zajedno, tada još uvijek kao odvojena naselja, imaju 171 žitelja koji se u najvećoj mjeri bave vinogradarstvom.

Milanovac ima i najljepši vidikovac s Bilogore, s kojeg se za lijepog vremena vidi i grad Pečuh u susjednoj Mađarskoj.

Do vrha brda se može doći i automobilom po vrlo uskoj, zavojitoj i asfaltiranoj cesti. Skretanje je na kraju Ulice Svetog Križa (TRIGHT).

 

Sveti Križ / Holy Cross

 

In the 1757 in vineyard part of Virovitica in the area of today's Milanovac, the chapel of Holy Cross was built, which is destroyed in World War II and never rebuilt. At the same time in 1757 the chapel of the Most Holy Trinity was built. Initially as a timber, and in 1782 was remodeled and paved with bricks. Today appearance is obtained after being revived in 1962. Citizens of Virovitica already in the 18th century went to processions to the chapels on Sundays after the feasts of the Holy Trinity and the Holy Cross.

Name Milanovac as a resort place is first mentioned in the 19th century. In honor of the Mayor of Virovitica County J. J. Strossmayer in 1862 in Milanovac the obelisk was built a copy of which still stands in front of a community house.

Milanovac has one of the best viewpoints from Bilogora, from which in good weather it is possible to see the city of Pecs in Hungary.

The top of the hill is accessible by car on very narrow, curved, pawed road. Use junction to turn right at the end of Ulica Svetog Križa (TRIGHT).
