Geocache Description:

[CZ] V obci Malenovice na samém okraji Beskyd se nachází kopec Borová s poutním kostelem ze 17. století, u nejž je umístena tato cache.

[EN] In Malenovice, on the edge of Beskydy mountains is a hill called Borova with a pilgrimage church from 17th century. The cache is located in immediate vicinity.

[CZ] Kostel na Borové vznikl z kaple, která je stále viditelná pri pohledu z boku. K té byl pristaven hrabetem Františkem Eusebiem z Oppersdorfu barokní kostel, zasvecený sv. Ignáci z Loyoly. Kostel byl vysvecen 14. 9. 1673 biskupem Františkem Karlem Neumanem z Vratislavi, protože témuž svetci byl vysvecen i dríve postavený kostel na Prašivé, došlo k jeho presvecení a tak je kostel na Prašivé zasvecen sv. Antonínovi Paduánskému. Kostel na Borové byl po jistou dobu jezuitskou misijní stanicí.

Kostel/Church

Z borovic na kopci již mnoho nezbylo, nekolik jich tu však stále naleznete.

Ke kostelu se váží dve známé povesti. První z nich zminuje zázracnou moc tohoto místa pro bezdetný pár, kterému až pout na Borovou zajistila nejdríve narození syna a pak i dvou dcer, druhá se vztahuje ke kamenné lavicce, jejíž zbytky u nej naleznete. Ta je zejména vhodná pro vdavekchtivé geokacerky - tvrdí se, že dívka, která se na tuto kamennou lavici posadí se do roka vdá.

Z okolí kostela se naskýtají pekné pohledy na tuto cást Beskyd, pokud to pocasí dovolí, doporucujeme se projít po okolí.

[EN]The pilgrimage baroque church on Borova hill was built next to a chapel from the 17th century by Franz Eusebius von Oppersdorf. It was consecrated to St. Ignacius of Loyola by the Breslau bishop Franz Karl Neuman on 14th of September, 1673. The church has been a Jesuit missionary station for some time.

Kaple, k niz byl kostel pristaven/Chapel on the side of the church

Unfortunately, there are only a few pines - which gave the hill its name - left. There are two known legends which mention this place: One is about a childless pair who tried many well-known pilgrimage places to pray for a child, but were unsuccessful until someone suggested them to come to Borova, after which the woman miraculously became pregnant (a son and later two daughters were born). The second one is about the stone bench the remains of which can be found next to the church - a unmarried woman who sits on the bench will become married in a year.

There are several places on Borova hill with nice views of this part of Beskydy mountains. In nice weather we suggest a small walk ín the vicinity.

[CZ]Obcas nekdo z nalezcu misto zamaskuje tak dokonale, ze nevypada vubec podezrele, pri hledani bez hintu si urcite pridejte 1 hvezdicku. Maskujte dukladne (ale nezahrabavejte), uz ji nekdo dvakrát ukradl. Po cetnych zadostech byl zjednodusen cesky hint. Keš byla 5.4.2014 obnovena a přesunuta asi o 10m směrem ke kostelu.
[EN]The cache is sometimes masked so good that the place does not look suspicious. Please add one star to the difficulty when searching without the hints. Please mask the cache well (do not fill the hole), someone has already stolen this cache twice. The cache has been moved to a new location cca. 10m closer to the church.
