Geocache Description:

Vama Veche is a commune in Romania on the Black Sea coast, near the border with Bulgaria.
The name literally means "Old customs point", named after the Cadrilater was included in Romania in 1913. In 1940, however, that region was ceded to Bulgaria, and the village was once again near the border. Even in Communist Romania, Vama Veche had a reputation as a non-mainstream tourist destination, which has only grown since the Romanian Revolution of 1989. During the communist era, concern for border patrol sight lines spared Vama Veche the development that occurred in other Romanian Black Sea resorts. It became a hangout for intellectuals; for reasons that are not exactly clear, the generally repressive regime of Nicolae Ceausescu chose to tolerate this countercultural oasis, as long as people had their identity papers with them. Accommodations consisted of tents or rooms rented from peasants or fishermen.
Famous for its nude beach, since the late 1990s Vama Veche has experienced development and gentrification, which has led to a "Save Vama Veche" campaign that is lobbying for the area's environmental conservation and a halt to development and mass tourism. The 2005 Stufstock drew a record 40,000-large crowd, formed by rockers, bohemians, punkers and goths. Many argue that it has become too popular. In 2004, allegedly as a result of the campaign, legislation was enacted limiting construction of new housing and roads or paving of existing roads. It is unclear how much this is being observed or enforced.
The cache is located on the northern cliffs between Vama Veche and 2Mai with a beautifull view of the village. Just look behind the cross.
Original content: pen, logbook, plastic bugs, plastic spider.
