Geocache Description:


 

NOVA KONČNA LOKACIJA OD 22. marca 2023 / NEW FINAL LOCATION FROM 22 March 2023.

Šmarna gora z Grmado je zelo priljubljen in pogosto obiskan hrib v okolici Ljubljane. Do vrha vodijo številne poti. Nekatere so dobro poznane, medtem ko so nekatere poznane le najpogostejšim obiskovalcem. Na pobočju stojijo tudi številne kapele. Če želite najti ta večstopenjski zaklad, boste morali obiskati šest izmed njih na podanih koordinatah. Pri vsaki stopnji se bo razkrila ena števka končnih koordinat.

Iskanje večstopenjskega zaklada lahko pričnete na različnih mestih. Večinoma obiskovalci začnejo svojo pot v Tacnu (N46° 07.248 E014° 27.638), saj se tu nahaja veliko parkirišče (N46° 07.100 E014° 27.688). Seveda pa lahko izberete tudi drugo pot,  npr. iz Šmartna (N46° 07.218 E014° 28.000)  ali Spodnjih Pirnič (čez Peske, N46° 08.011 E014° 26.824).

Priporočam, da posamezne stopnje obiščete po spodnjem vrstnem redu:

Stopnja 1: Kapelica žalostne matere božje (Tacenska kapelica), N46 07.623 E014 27.926

Kapelico žalostne matere božje oziroma Tacensko kapelico je lahko najti. Do nje vodi več poti. Pred kapelico boste opazil nekaj betoniranih stopnic. Pomnožite število betoniranih stopnic z 2, prištejte še 1 in dobili boste prvo števko končnih koordinat, A.

Stopnja 2: Kapelica matere božje pri Turškem kopitu, N46 07.611 E014 27.608

Po popularni Romarski poti nadaljujte proti kapelici pri Turškem kopitu. Tam boste v skali morda opazili odtis turškega konjskega kopita na skali, kjer stoji kapelica. Preštejte klicaje in dvopičja v zlatem besedilu na sprednji strani kapele. Skupno število klicajev in dvopičij ustreza števki B.
 

Stopnja 3: Kapela sv. Sobote, N46 07.715 E014 27.789

Nadaljujete proti vrhu Šmarne gore po vozni poti. Vozno pot zapustite na levem ovinku nad osličkovim hlevom. Kmalu boste prispeli do Kapele Sv. Sobote. Na lesenem stebru poleg kapele lahko preberete, zakaj ima ta kapela tako ime. Preštejte železne kvadratke na vrhu železnih vrat kapelice, odštejte 5 in dobili boste C.
 

Stopnja 4: Puščavnica in zvonček sv. Antona, N46 07.806 E014 27.780

Nadaljujete proti vrhu Šmarne gore, kjer se mimo gostilne spustite proti  Puščavnici in zvončku Sv. Antona. Preberite besedilo na vznožju kipa Sv. Antona. Število vrstic tega besedila nam pove števko D. Za srečo in veselo iskanje zaklada lahko tudi zazvonite na bližnjem zvoncu.
 

Stopnja 5: Turkovo znamenje, N46 07.994 E014 27.624
 

Turkovo znamenje je malo bolj oddaljeno. Od Sv. Antona se v smeri SZ po grebenu (mimo skladovnic drv) spustite do njega. Na sprednji strani kapelice boste videli kovinsko ograjo. Preštejte navpične kovinske palice v ograji in to je številka E.
 

Stopnja 6: Gorjančeva kapelica, N46 07.744 E014 27.458

Od Turkove kapelice se morate vrniti na sedlo. Lahko tako, da prečite pašnik ali pa po Poti svobode (markacija S), ki pa se vmes nekaj spusti in morate še enkrat malo navzgor. Gorjančevakapelica se nahaja poleg ceste. V notranjosti kapele na vseh treh stenah boste opazili veliko fresko s številnimi naslikanimi obrazi. Preštejte vse obraze in odštejte 3. Dobili boste še zadnjo manjkajočo števko F.. Ali ste pozorno prešteli vse obraze? Namig: Vsota A in E ustreza številu vseh obrazov na freski. 


Sedaj imate vse števke. Koncno stopnjo zaklada lahko najdete na N46° 07.ABC E014° 27.DEF. Veliko sreče.

ENG: 
Šmarna gora and Grmada are very popular and frequently visited hills near Ljubljana. Many different paths lead to their summits. Some of them are well-known while some of them are known only to the most frequent visitors. There are also several chapels spread all over the hills. If you wish to find this multicache you will have to find six of them at the given coordinates. At each stage one digit of the final coordinates will be revealed.

There are numerous places where you can start multicache hunting. Usually hikers start at Tacen (N46° 07.248 E014° 27.638), as there is a large parking place nearby (N46° 07.100 E014° 27.688). You can choose another path like the one starting at Šmartno (N46° 07.218 E014° 28.000) or  Spodnje Pirniče (via Peske, N46° 08.011 E014° 26.824).

I recommend that you visit the stages in the order below: 

Stage 1: Shrine of the Sorrowful Mother of God, N46 07.623 E014 27.926

The Shrine of the Sorrowful Mother of God or the Tacen shrine could be easily found. Several paths lead to it. In front of the chapel you will notice some concrete stairs. Multiply the number of the concrete stairs by 2, add 1 and you will get the first digit of the final coordinates, A.

Stage 2: The chapel of Mother of God at the Turkish Hoof, N46 07.611 E014 27.608

Continue along the popular Romarska pot (Pilgrimage path) towards the chapel at the Turkish Hoof. In the rock, where the chapel stands, you may notice the print of a Turkish horse's hoof. Count the exclamation points and colons in the gold text on the front of the chapel. The total number of exclamation marks and colons corresponds to the digit B.

Stage 3: Chapel of St. Saturday, N46 07.715 E014 27.789

You continue towards the top of Šmarna gora along the road. Leave that rost at the left turn above the donkey barn. You will soon arrive at the Chapel of St. Saturday. On the wooden pillar next to the chapel you can read why this chapel has such name. Count the iron squares on top of the chapel's iron door, subtract 5 and you'll get a digit C.

Stage 4: St. Anthony's hermitage, N46 07.806 E014 27.780

Continue towards the summit of Šmarna gora, make a quick stop at the top. Here you will find a pleasant restaurant which offers a variety of Slovenian traditional food. You can also admire the delightful view over Ljubljana and nearby mountains and hills. From tjhe top you descend towards Puščavnica and the bell of St. Anton. Read the text at the foot of the statue of St. Anton. The number of lines of this text tells us the digit D . You can also ring a nearby bell for good luck and a happy hunting.

Stage 5: Turk’s Shrine, N46 07.994 E014 27.624

Turk's sign is a little further away. From St. Anton make a descend in the NW direction along the ridge (pass the firewood stacks). At the front of the shrine you will see a metal fence. Count the vertical metal bars in the fence and that's the digit E.

Stage 6: Gorjanc’s chapel, N46 07.744 E014 27.458
 

From the Turk's shrine you must return to the saddle between Grmada and Šmarna gora. You can either cross the pasture or follow the Pot svobode (Path of Freedom, marked with S sign), which descends a bit  and you have to go up a bit again. Gorjanc's Chapel is located next to the road. Inside the chapel you will see a large fresco with many painted faces on all three walls. Count all the faces and subtract 3. You will get the last missing digit F. Did you count all the faces carefully? Hint: The sum of A and E corresponds to the number of all faces.


Now you have all missing digits and you can find the final stage of the multicache at the N46° 07.ABC E014° 27.DEF. Good luck.
