Geocache Description:


 

Rīgas jūras līča piekrastē nav izteiktu zemesragu. Ievērojamākais ir  mūsējais - Mērsrags R piekrastē, taču ir mazie “radziņi”. Piemēram, starp Mērsragu un Bērzciemu ir  pat veseli trīs – Krustarags, Mālrags un Roņu rags. / There are no pronounced headlands on the coast of the Gulf of Riga. The most notable is ours - Mērsrags on the West coast, but there are small "horns". For example, between Mērsrags and Bērzciems there are as many as three - Krustarags, Mālrags and Roņu rags.

Jūsu uzmanībai – Krustarags. Rags atrodas iepretim Lepstes  Kuģinieku mājām. Diemžēl, apvaicājot vietējos un parakājoties Interneta dzīlēs, vietvārda skaidrojumu neatradām, ja kādam no jums tas zināms, būsim priecīgi, ja padalīsieties informācijā. Paši izdomājām savu versiju, pētot kartes. Pie Krustaraga jūrā ir ļoti daudz sēkļu. Viens no tiem izteikti atgādina krustu, tāpēc arī, mūsuprāt, tāds nosaukums. Varat pieņemt šo versiju, varat nepieņemt, tas lai paliek jūsu ziņā. / For your attention – Krustarags. The cape is located opposite the Lepstes Kuģiniekus house. Unfortunately, after asking locals and digging in the depths of the Internet, we did not find an explanation for the place name, if any of you know it, we will be happy if you share the information. We came up with our own version, studying maps. There are a lot of shoals in the sea near Krustarags. One of them strongly resembles a cross, which is why, in our opinion, it has such a name. You can accept this version, you can not accept it, it is up to you.

 Ar ko tad interesants ir Krustarags? Lai arī lielākie un spēcīgākie magnētisko anomāliju rajoni atrodas Rīgas jūras līča A piekrastē, arī Krustaragā var izjust neizskaidrojamu magnētisko anomāliju.  Šajā apkaimē vienmēr ir bijuši novērojami radio sakaru traucējumi, arī tagad nav mobilā telefona zonas. / What is so interesting about Krustarags? Although the largest and strongest magnetic anomaly areas are located on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Riga, an unexplained magnetic anomaly can also be felt in Krustarags. Radio communication disturbances have always been observed in this area, and there is no mobile phone zone even now.

Krustaragu ļoti iecienījuši putni, jo tiem laikam jau ļoti patīk tuvumā esošie akmeņi.  Nevar sūdzēties par dažādu sīku radībiņu klātbūtni – gan odi un odiņi, gan mušas un dunduri, gan skudras un citi rāpojošie un lidojošie kukaiņi. Ja paveiksies, tad varēsiet iepazīt  riteņzirnekļus, tai skaitā arī vietai piestāvošo Krusta zirnekli. Krustaragā zied dažādas piejūras pļavai raksturīgas puķes, iespējams, ka tur ir arī kāds retāks augs. Starp citu, nākot uz Krustaragu, sezonas laikā var uzēst pa kādai mellenei vai brūklenei, atrast kādu sēni. Tā ir  laba zvejas vieta, kā to atzīst tuvākie un tālākie  copmaņi. / Krustaragas is very popular with birds, because they probably really like the nearby stones. You can't complain about the presence of various small creatures - mosquitoes and midges, flies and midges, ants and other crawling and flying insects. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get to know orb spiders, including the Cross spider that is appropriate for the place. Various flowers typical of a seaside meadow bloom on Krustaragas, and there may also be some rarer plants there. By the way, when you come to Krustaragas, during the season you can eat a blueberry or lingonberry, find a mushroom. It is a good fishing spot, as recognized by locals near and far.

Jāsaka – neaizgājis, neiepazīsi! / It must be said – if you haven't been there, you won't know!

Pateicoties radiosakaru traucējumiem, iespējama neliela nobīde no koordinātām :) . / Due to radio interference, a slight deviation from the coordinates is possible :).

Postīt neko nevajag! / No need to break anything!

Ieraudzīsi - atradīsi! / You will see - you will find!
