Geocache Description:

The cache is placed in the east part of the mountain Medvednica at approximate height of 510 metres on top of the rock Komusareva Pecina. You will have to climb the height difference of about 300 metres.

This is a traditional cache, a plain Tupperware. The best way to reach the cache is from village Vidovec. If you use public transport (ZET) take the tram No 4, 7, 11 or 12 to Dubrava, and then the bus No 208 or 205 (with 205 you will have to walk a bit longer), otherwise you can go directly to Vidovec by car. Once you are in Vidovec, start to follow the marked trail No 25 to Gorscica. Follow the trail until you pass the house on the picture (picture House). Some 50 metres after you will have to leave the marked trail (picture WP2, N 45°54.278; E 016°01.722) turning left to an unmarked trail going uphill. You do not need to leave the trail, keep to the right, and once you are at about 100 metres (N 45°54.574; E 016°01.719) from the cache let the GPS lead you (this last part goes downwards).Once you have found the cache, do not miss a beautiful view of Zagreb from the rock Komusareva Pecina. Just follow the trail some 20 metres down.

WARNING: The rock Komusareva Pecina is quite high and there is no fence. Take care of children and pets. The cache itself is far enough from the edge, so you do not have to take any risks.

On the weekends, at the waypoint (Gorscica; N45°55.730; E016°01.736), some 2 km away, you can get some refreshments and a meal. It is possible to go part of the way by bike, but you have to be prepared to push the bike up part of the way. You can check the bus timetable at ZET page.
