Geocache Description:


First of all: this cache can not be completed by foot or by bike. You need a motorway compatible vehicle.

While driving on the Autocesta A1 from Zagreb to the Adriatic Coast, you have to pass no less than thirteen tunnels of different lengths before reaching Zadar.

So that the trip to the south is not so boring and the driver earned a little break after the 13 tunnels, we remembered a Multi Cache from Austria and decided to give you the same fun here along the A1. And of course on the way back north too.

The tunnels you have to pass are:

Sv. Marko
Mala Kapela
Brinje
Brezik
Plasina
Grič
Medina Gora
Varošina
Krpani
Sveti Rok
Ledenik
Bristovac
Čelinka

In front of each tunnel you can find a sign on the right side with the name and the length of the tunnel. The task to solve this multi is to determine the respective lengths of the tunnels. Note the length and build the cross sum (sum af all single digits) of each tunnel. Example: if the length is 472m, the cross sum is 4+7+2=13.

As the speed limit in the area in front of and in the tunnels is 100 km/h, the determination of the values should not be a problem.

After passing the last tunnel, make a break at the rest area Jasenice North (see waypoint), where you can calculate the final coordinates and at least find the cache.

To check your results or if you miss one tunnel sign, we give you the sum of all lengths, it's 19.396m. The sum of all cross sums is 163.

The above coordinates are the starting point of the tour in front of the first tunnel. The final is about 200 motorway kilometers heading south.

The individual values are:

Value Tunnel Length Cross sum
A Sv. Marko
B Mala Kapela
C Brinje
D Brezik
E Plasina
F Grič
G Medina Gora
H Varošina
I Krpani
K Sveti Rok
L Ledenik
M Bristovac
N Čelinka
Sum 19.396 163

You can find the final container here:

N 44° 14.(F-A)(B-I)(E-N) E 015° 3(L-A-E).(F-G)(C-D)(K-H-M)

Attention: some of the tunnel lengths are different in the respective directions and can not be compared with each other. And if you try to check the tunnel lengths on Google Street View, some of the lengths there are also different to reality.

Please hide the cache exactly as you found it. Subsequent cachers will thank you.
