Geocache Description:


Ta zaklad je pravzaprav multi, vendar ga je zaradi prve naloge treba uvrstiti med uganke. Z drugimi besedami: Vse naloge je treba rešiti na terenu.

 

Opis:

 

Na žalost je zgodovinsko ozadje tega zaklada zelo grozno.

V Kučji dolini sta dve prizorišči, povezani z izvensodnimi poboji po drugi svetovni vojni: Grobišče Veliko Brezarjevo brezno in Grobišče v Kucji dolini. Konec maja 1945 je bilo pobitih več kot 800 ljudi, njihova trupla pa vržena v Veliki Brezarjev jašek. Žrtve so bile mešanica slovenskih in hrvaških vojnih ujetnikov iz Zavoda sv. Stanislava v bližnjem Šentvidu (ki so ga partizani uporabljali za internacijo) in civilistov, med njimi tudi žensk.

Veliko število trupel je zastrupilo podtalnico na tem območju. Iz bližnjega izvira v Podutiku živina ni hotela piti, domačini pa so opazili, da sta se barva in okus vode spremenila. Zaradi vedno večjega govorjenja in nezadovoljstva lokalnega prebivalstva je komunistična oblast najprej z betonsko zaporo poskušala zapreti povezavo med Velikim Brezarjevim jaškom in izvirom. Nemški ujetniki so bili nato 12. in 13. junija 1945 prisiljeni sneti trupla iz jaška in jih pokopati v bližnjem množičnem grobu na začetku Kučje doline. Po tem so nemške ujetnike usmrtili na kraju samem in jih pokopali skupaj s trupli, ki so jih premaknili.

V spomin na številne žrtve (na obeh straneh!) strašne druge svetovne vojne, ki je povzročila toliko trpljenja, sem pripravil ta zaklad.

 

Če ga želite najti, morate narediti naslednje:

 

a) Pojdite do objavljenih koordinat Brezarjevega brezna in poiščite info tablo. Dobro si ga oglejte. Nanj je pritrjena majhna ploščica NFC. Približajte pametni telefon (prepričajte se, da sta NFC in brezžični internet omogočena). Preusmerjeni boste na varno spletno mesto. Brez virusov!

Na spletni strani bodite pozorni na:

(Dolžina krat Globina) minus Globina minus Dolžina Golo Brdo 3 = ABC

 

b) Nato pojdite na 2. in 3. stopnjo (gl. waypoints) in rešite naslednje 3 naloge:

2. stopnja: 

Število navpičnih nosilcev ograje okoli luknje = X

3. stopnja: 

Število BESED pri spomeniku = Y

Število ograjenih grobišč = Z

 

DEF = X  krat  Y  krat  Z  minus  110

 

FINAL: N46. 04.ABC in E014 26.DEF 

 

SREČNO in pazite, da ne padete v eno od lukenj!

 

 

ENGLISH VERSION:

 

This treasure is actually a multi, but because of the first task it must be classified as a mystery. In other words, all tasks have to be solved on the spot.

 

Description:

 

The historical background of this geocache is unfortunately very sad and terrible.

The Kucja Valley is the location of two sites connected with extrajudicial killings after the Second World War: The Big Brezar Shaft Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Veliko Brezarjevo brezno) and the Kucja Valley Mass Grave (Grobišče v Kucji dolini). At the end of May 1945 over 800 people were killed and their bodies were thrown into the Big Brezar Shaft. The victims were a mix of Slovenian and Croatian prisoners of war from the St. Stanislaus Institute in nearby Šentvid (which was being used as an internment center by the Partisans) and civilians, including women.

The large number of dead bodies poisoned the groundwater in the area. Livestock refused to drink out of the nearby spring in Podutik and local people noticed that the color and taste of the water had changed. Because of increasing talk and dissatisfaction among the local population, the communist authorities first tried to block the connection between the Big Brezar Shaft and the spring with a concrete barrier. German POWs were then forced to remove the bodies from the shaft on 12 and 13 June 1945 and bury them in the nearby mass grave at the head of the Kucja Valley. After this the German POWs were executed on site and buried together with the bodies they had moved.

In memory of the many victims (on both sides!) of the terrible Second World War, which caused so much suffering, I have prepared this treasure.

 

In order to find it, you have to do the following: 

 

a) Go to the posted coordinates of Brezarjevo brezno and find the info board. Take a good look at it. There is a little NFC plaque attached to it. Hold your smartphone close to it (make sure that NFC and wireless internet are both enabled). You will be directed to a secure website. You do not have to be afraid of any viruses!

On the web page watch out for: 

(Dolžina Globina) minus Globina minus Dolžina Golo Brdo 3 = ABC

 

b) Then go to stages 2 and 3 (see waypoints) and solve the follwing 3 tasks: 

Stage 2:

Number of vertical supports of the fence around the hole = X

Stage 3:

Number of WORDS at the monument = Y

Number of fenced gravesites = X

 

DEF = X multiplied by  Y  multiplied by  Z  minus  110

 

FINAL: N46. 04.ABC in E014 26.DEF 

 

GOOD LUCK and be careful not to fall into one of the holes!
