Geocache Description:

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Lewis Carroll
 


HR

Danas već pomalo zaboravljena Suzanićeva cesta vodi od mjesta Križišće do Melnica. Zbog povećanih trgovačkih potreba grada Kraljevice bilo je neophodno sagraditi spojnu cestu sa Karolinom, koja je povezivala Bakar i Rijeku sa Karlovcem. Kraljevički veletrgovac, Marko Suzanić, u dogovoru sa carskom vlasti dao je da se o njegovom trošku izgradi cesta od Kraljevice preko Križišća do Melnica gdje je spojena sa Karolinom. Poslije mu je car Josip II isplatio sve uloženo. Cestu je radio poduzetnik Ivan Evangelist Turković od 1785 i za godinu dana je završio. cesta je služila svrsi sve do sredine 19-og stoljeća kada je rađena druga, duža ali blažih uspona i sa jednom velikom serpentinom.

Ovaj cache doveo vas je do serpentine građene na 11m visokom podzidu, sa koje se pružaju krasni vidici.

The old and forgotten Suzanić road leads from the village Križišće to Melnice. Because of increased commercial needs of Kraljevica, it was necessary to build a connecting road with Karolina, which was connecting Bakar with Karlovac. A wholesaler from Kraljevica, Marko Suzanić, in agreement with the imperial government, built a road on its own expenses from Kraljevice across Križišće to Melnice where he connected it with Karolina road. Afterwards the Emperor Joseph II paid the entire investment. The road was constructed by an entrepreneur Ivan Evangelist Turković in 1785 and it was ended in a year. The road have served its purpose until the mid-19th century when another, longer, road was constructed, but with milder ascent and with a large serpentine.

This cache brought you to the serpentine built on the 11m high retaining wall, which offers beautiful views.
