Geocache Description:


SLO
Leta 1916 so avstroogrski vojaki 3. gorske brigade zgradili spominsko cerkev po načrtih arhitekta Remigiusa Geylinga z Dunaja. Dolgo in v tajnosti so izbirali položaj za cerkvico, ki bi bil neopazen za sovražnika in enako oddaljen od bojišč na Vodil vrhu, na Mrzlemu vrhu, na Slemenu in na Rdečem robu. Cerkev so zgradili v obdobju od 1. marca do 1. novembra. Na zunanjih stenah so med okni v fresko tehniki naslikani grbi vseh dežel Avstro-Ogrske, v notranjščini pa dominira bel secesijski oltar z mozaično podobo in lesenim tabernakljem z izrezljanimi Križanim, delo Antona Perathonerja.
Na južni in severni strani ladje je na »lesenih listih« knjige umrlih vžgano 2808 imen vojakov, ki so padli po okoliških hribih.
Kot najlepši spomenik 1. svetovne vojne na ozemlju Republike Slovenije se je leta 2007 uvrstila med zgodovinske spomenike, ki nosijo znak evropske kulturne dedišcine.
Cerkev je tudi ena izmed postaj na zgodovinski poti Pot miru, ki povezuje spomenike in ostaline 1. svetovne vojne v Zgornjem Posočju.

Dostop je možen iz Tolmina, mimo Zatolmina nad koriti Tolminke do doline Polog, 12 km. Od tu pa je še 30 min peš do cerkvice na Javorci.

In 1916 soldiers of the 3rd Austro-Hungarian mountain brigade built memorial church designed by the Viennese architect Remigius Geyling. Secretly and for a long period of time they had been selecting church location that would be invisible to the enemy and positioned the same distance from the battlefields at Vodil vrh, Mrzli vrh, Sleme and Rdeči rob. The church was built in the period from March to November. Its exterior portrays the stylized crests of the kingdoms and provinces of Austria-Hungary. Interior is brightly colored and decorated in the Vienna Secession style. Oak plaques bear the names of the Austro-Hungarian soldiers that fell at battles in the area.
The church was declared a cultural and historical monument.

Access is possible by car from Tolmin, passing Zatolmin to the valley Polog (distance 12 km). From there it is 30 min of walking to the church on Javorca.
