This cache has been archived.

Cenarius: Hi Skynetexe,

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:


Belgrade is a city that lies on two rivers, so naturally it has many bridges connecting its sides. What is notable though is the sheer number of them. It has 7 bridges in its urban area, but in 11 total.
There is a nice walkway connecting nearly all of them that is sure to be a pleasant walk or bicycle ride, right on the river bank.

 

Brankov most - Branko's Bridge

 

Branko's brige was built in 1956 on the foundations of the 1934 King Alexander Bridge, which was destroyed in World War II.

It is the only bridge that has a bycile elevator. If you are a smooth talker, you might be able to convince the opperator to let you in as a pedestrean.

The official name of the bridge during the communist rule was "Brotherhood and unity bridge" (Most bratstva i jedinstva), but that name never caught on. Citizens referred to it as the "Savski most" (Sava bridge), "Zemunski most" (Zemun bridge) and the "bridge in Branko's street", as the bridge is an extension of the Brankova street, named after Branko Radičević, Serbian romanticist poet. The latter name was colloquially shortened to Brankov most (Branko's bridge) and the name prevailed. Urban myth is that the bridge got its name after the writer, Branko Ćopić, committed a suicide by jumping from the bridge in 1984. The bridge is otherwise known for the large number of suicides that are committed or attempted from it. Every year, about 40 people decide to end their lives by jumping from it.  Wiki
