Description   

For the park "Boka" we can freely say that it is the "botanical garden of the Adriatic". Construction of the park began in 1908 together with the hotel building (which was destroyed in the earthquake in 1979). For this reason, the term "Hotel Boka Park" is used.


The park area is a rare green oasis of Mediterranean plants, with over 80 species of plants that are native to tropical and subtropical regions. The dominant place belongs to various palm species, high and slender Washingtonians from South California, dates from the Canary Islands, as well as from Arabia and North Africa, Brazilian coconut palm, there are evergreen magnolia, aralia and skulls. In the middle of the park there is a metal pergola with wisteria sinensis, which gives shade to the central part of the park. In the very center of the park there is a fountain with sculpture of the goddess of hunting, the work of sculptor Petar Palavičinija (1888-1958).

The entire park was formed on a relatively steep terrain and therefore it was made terraced, in baroque style, with beautiful viewpoints from which there is an exceptional view of the entrance to the Bay of Kotor, Luštica, Njivice, Žvinje, Igalo ... Park "Boka" presents a kind of horticultural - historical value.


Cache is located in central part of park in metal pillar that hold wisteria sinensis plant. Pillar is closest one to the fountain.

OC-Team Archived 15 September 2023 mic@ has archived the cache

english (short). Always synchronize the status of a double-listed cache. According to geocaching.com (GC825B5) this listing is now archived here too.

german (long): Bitte bei Statusänderungen, die auf geocaching.com durchgeführt werden, auch immer hier den Status ändern. Dieser Cache ist auf geocaching.com (GC825B5) archiviert und hier nicht mit dem Attribut "OC only" versehen. Das letzte Funddatum liegt lange zurück und die Logs auf geocaching.com lassen darauf schließen, dass der Cache nicht mehr existiert. Aus diesem Grunde archiviere ich ihn auch hier. Sollten später der Cache erneuert werden und die Koordinaten aktualisiert werden, so kann dieses Listing selbständig über ein "kann gesucht werden"-Log reaktiviert werden.
Bei Unklarheiten oder Fragen kannst du gerne mich oder das Team kontaktieren.
