Description
The area is rich in mining and many rock and mineral samples from these mountains can be found at the Geological Museumin Bucharest. Today most of the mining is now closed, but the area is developing as a touristic resort with newly built ski slopes.
Cache is located on the side of the road from Strambu Baiut to Cavnic, on the high mountain pass. One can stop in the nearby parking to admire the view below, before descending on the other side, into Cavnic.
Container is a black 35mm film canister. Limited room for trade.
Initial contents :
- logbook
- small pencil
- toy soldier
May be a nearby hint, but also a few words of great wisdom :
"Aurul verde! Aurul padurilor! Sanatatea si bogatia romanilor."
"Green gold! The Gold of the Forest! The health and wealth of the romanian people.
The panel was since repainted, but the message is essentially the same.
