Geocache Description:

This geocache is dedicated to place called Gumanac.

Gumanac is I think one of extraordinary places for
geocacher to visit. On his way to geocache one will sure
enjoy in beautiful view to Kvarner bay and numerous hay
fields. Also, some ww2 relicts will be seen.

My advice is to reach place called Klana and continue
with macadam road which starts soon after you leave Klana.
You don't have to own 4x4 or similar beast - road is in
relatively good condition (as always, drive your car nice
when on macadam). However I suppose the access is
troublesome in winter time if there is a lot of snow.

This is not necessary but if you like biking, it is
strongly recommended :) to get your bicycle/mtb as
place is very thankful for bicycle activities (that
refers to general area, not the geocache place itself).
Exact geocache location is not reachable by bike and
is not near bike track so you have to take care of bike(s)
while seeking geocache.

Also, if you are in exploring macadam roads, you can try
the whole road, which "ends" in ski center called Platak
(of course you can leave Platak using other way). However I
cannot guarantee for road condition after geocache. Have
passed whole road year ago without any problems (with
ordinary car) so I believe it should be fine. If you decide
to go for it, get a good map because you will pass through
some unmarked crossings.

As usual in nature - beware of snakes!
It is always good idea to use a stick
as kind of sensor / noise maker.

Let's do the job now... :-)

When you reach first geocache stage, you
will see two dates in following format:

aa-b-cc-X-dd-ee-ff-XI

Time to get your pen and paper... Final
geocache stage is on the following coordinates:

N gg°hh.iii
E 0jj°kk.lll,

where:

gg = dd + ff,
hh = cc - dd + ee,
iii = aa*b + cc + b/8

jj = cc - aa
kk = dd + ee
lll = ee*ff + cc + 2*(dd-ee)

Wish you happy geocaching! greetz, njobi
