Geocache Description:


Trg Pilštanj se je oblikoval med dvema vrhovoma, ne enemu od njiju je stal grad Pilštanj (Peilenstein), ki se prvič omenja leta 963. Na drugi vzpetini pa je stal Drenski grad (Hartenstein). Danes sta oba v razvalinah. V času turških vpadov je bila na Pilštanju obveščevalna postaja, ki je s kresovi opozarjala na nevarnost. O Pilštanjskem gradu kroži med ljudmi veliko legend, ki so povezane predvsem s sveto Emo, prvo slovensko misijonarko in svetnico. Sv. Emi je na Pilštanju posvečen Emin gaj, kjer v zavetju dreves potekajo kulturni dogodki. Čez Pilštanj poteka tudi Emina romarska pot, ki povezuje kraje v Sloveniji in Avstriji.

Zaklad se skriva na krožni grajski poti gradu Peilenstein.

 

Pilštanj market was formed between two peaks – on one of them stood Pilštanj (Peilenstein) Castle, first mentioned in 963. On the second hill stood Drenski (Hartenstein, ‘cornel’) Castle. Both are now in ruins. During the period of Turkish raids, Pilštanj was a communication post where bonfires were lit to warn others of the danger. Legends about Pilšanj Castle abound among locals, most of them connected to Saint Emma, Slovenia’s first missionary and saint. At Pištanj, the so-called Emma’s grove is dedicated to the saint. It welcomes cultural events in the shade of the trees. Also running through Pilštanj is Emma’s pilgrimage route that connects places in Slovenia and Austria.

The treasure is hidden on the circular way of the Peilenstein castle.
