Kosljun Island (Monastery) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ArsenLupiga: Hi brokev7,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:

 

Košljun is a tiny island in Puntarska Draga bay off the coast of KRK, facing Punat. It is approximately 300 meters in diameter and covers an area of 6.5 hectares, but is rich in vegetation. The only inhabitants are a group of Franciscan monks living in St. Mary's Monastery.

You can visit the island with fast taxi boats from Punat or you can get there on your own (kayak, canoe could be an option).

On the island is situated Franciscan monastery. Archives and library in monastery contain over 20,000 volumes, some of which are invaluable rare copies. 

There is also impressive ethnographic museum, a natural history and numismatic collection, as well as a permanent exhibition of sacral art. 

On the island is forbidden bathing and there aren't any bars or restaurants. The only inhabitants are a group of Franciscan monks living in St. Mary's Monastery.

Island is perfect for walking because paths are settled through whole island. There are more than 500 plant species over island.

You can visit the island from 9 AM to 6 PM Monday to Sunday. Be aware that the ast boat leaves at 5 PM. 

The cahce is located on the north side of the beach. It's easily accessable from the Parking coordinates by following the track on the west side.

BYOP. 

Happy geocaching!
