First Geocache in Osh
Osh is the second largest city in Kyrgystan, located in the Fergana vally and referred to as the capital in the south.
With an ethnical population of Kyrgysch, Tsatjiks, Russian and Uzbeks, its a city with many variations.
A huge Bazaar, and the Suleiman-Too mountain are two big attractions. It also has a nice big park, and... A HUGE STATUE of Lenin.
[EDIT JULY 2025]
The Lenin statue was removed over night. I guess the Russia -Ukraine war has something to do with it, and the Kyrgyz are removing soviet history.
Below is what it looked like
It is said to be the largest still standing in Central Asia.
And that calls for a geocache :)
While on holiday here i noticed Osh has no geocaches yet, so let this be the first.
Easy to find in the park across the street, just check the spoiler pics.
BEWARE: LENINSTREET FROM THIS SQUARE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR CARS FROM 20:00 UNTIL 07:00.
POLICE DOES TRAFFIC CONTROL!
SO PARK AND WALK THE LAST BIT IF YOU ARE OUT AT NIGHT.
