About the cache
I think the Kakovo Monastery is an absolut wonderful spiritual place. With a geocache I would like to point out this truly extraordinary place that you might otherwise drive past, which would be a pity.
On summer days, up to 500 tourists are said to visit this attraction. All visitors are welcome to receive the men's table setting, consisting of a small glass of high-proof, good tasting drink, a coffee and a glass of water. This is always free of charge. A donation to the monastery church (in the wooden box there) is welcome. But nonetheless, it is completely voluntary.
To find the cache there is a short and steep climb necessary, therefore l increased the terrain-rating.
Please hide it again in the same way.
