Dalmacija: A geocache series
Dalmatia has existed for some 2000 years and was a part of then Illyria and has survived over the last 2000 years among many different empires and rulers.
In addition to the famous dog breed "Dalmatians" who come from this area, Dalmatia is best known for its rugged and karstified coastal landscape. Around 1000 islands, several national parks and around 1200 kilometers of coastline describe Dalmatia, which stretches from Velebit with its famous tunnel "Sveti Rok" to Dubrovnik. If the "Bura" blows from the north, this strongest wind in the world with up to 250km / h can even force authorities to close the entire highway.
Although Dalmatia has a very long cultural tradition and was already known in antiquity for its wild warriors, but was over all centuries - almost to this day - mainly due to the barren and stony soil always a relatively poor area and a classic emigration country. Formerly used as auxiliary troops by Greeks, Romans, Venetians and Austrians, later the inhabitants became emigrants to America, Argentina, Chile, Australia and New Zealand, and then later to Germany, Austria and Switzerland after World War II.
One of the best part of Dalmatia is the culinary art: puff-thin Dalmatian prosciutto, yellow sheep's cheese and salted anchovies, a few black olives, home-baked white bread, salad of sun-ripened tomatoes and even wine that has been pressed, diluted with water. Beef, pork and lamb steaks are traditionally cooked in Dalmatia on the grid above the open charcoal fire. In the conobas of Central and Southern Dalmatia you can find a specialty: Fish and meat, preferably lamb, are cooked together with potatoes and vegetables under a charcoal heat overflowed metal bell, the peka.

This Cache: The backbone of Dalmatia
[D]
Das Rückgrat der dalmatinischen Wirtschaft, wenn nicht der ganzen Lebensart st der Olivenbaum und dessen Früchte, de we im ganzen Miittelmeerraum zu hervorragendem Olivenöl verarbeitet werden. Je nach Qualitätsgrad können aus einer Tonne geernteter Oliven bis zu 10% (=100l) Olivenöl gepresst werden. Dabei ist natürlich auch die Temperatur entscheidend sowie die Art der Pressung. Weitere Details hierzu offenbaren Euch die unendlichen Weiten des WWW. Stellvertretend dafür platzieren wir in diesem Olivenhain ein Doserl.

The backbone of the Dalmatian economy, if not the entire way of life, is the olive tree and its fruit, which are processed into excellent olive oil throughout the Mediterranean. Depending on the quality grade, up to 10% (=100 litres) of olive oil can be pressed from one tonne of harvested olives. Of course, the temperature and the type of pressing are also decisive factors. Further details can be found in the vastness of the WWW. We have placed a can in this olive grove as an example.

Okosnicu dalmatinskog gospodarstva, ako ne i cjelokupnog načina života, čini maslina i njeni plodovi koji se diljem Mediterana prerađuju u vrhunska maslinova ulja. Ovisno o stupnju kakvoće, od jedne tone ubranih maslina može se iscijediti do 10% (=100 litara) maslinova ulja. Naravno, odlučujući su i temperatura i vrsta prešanja. Daljnje pojedinosti možete pronaći na prostranstvima WWW-a. Kao primjer smo u ovaj maslinik postavili limenku.
