Geocache Description:

Obri sud Javornik / Giant Barrel of Javornik



Na vrcholu Javorníku je, krome neprístupné telekomunikacní veže, zcela nová netradicní restaurace a penzion Obří sud. V provozu je od 1.10.2011.


Obří sud dnes


Původní Obrí sud byl na kopci postaven roku 1899 hostinským z Dlouhých Mostu Wilhelmem Hübelem, který jej zakoupil po skoncení jubilejní výstavy ve Vídni. Tehdy byl sud byl vytvoren klasickou bednárskou metodou a byl 14 metru dlouhý a 12 meru vysoký. Do jeho objemu se údajne vešlo až 350 hostu. Sud vyhorel 20.9.1974 a pozustatky restaurace, vcetne prázdných a rozbitých lahví, jsou na vrcholku stále dobre patrné.

Nakres stavby

One can see the remains of this untraditional restaurant on the top of the Javornik hill. The giant barrel was placed there by the landlord Wilhelm Huebel in 1899. He bought it at the Jubilee Expo hold in Vienna (celebrating 50th anniversary of the reign of the Austria-Hungarian Emperor Franz-Joseph I). The barrel itself was made by traditional cooper style. It was 46 feet long and 40 feet high. Its volume of approx. 21 600 pints (2 700 gallons) could reportedly absorb 350 visitors in one time. It burn up in 1974 and the remains (incl. empty and broken bottles) are visible at the top of the hill till the present time. The idea of new installation of such barrel there as a tourist attraction is discussed again.
