Ancient Dionisopolis

ANCIENT DIONISOPOLIS

The following multi-cache will lead you to places related to ancient Dionysopolis. If you are with a car the best place for it is in the central part of the town and you should walk on foot following the multi-cache points. The starting point of the cache is the Dionysus’s throne created by the stone-cutter Marian Tsvetkov from Balchik. The throne is similar to the old Greek thrones that have been owned in many houses in Balchik in the time of the ottoman slavery. Grape is presented on it that is symbol of the God of the wine from where the name Dionysopolis comes – today Balchik. Take the seat of the throne and take a short rest before the coming adventure.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates!

Step 1: Find two buildings nearest to the throne, on Cherno more str. (Black sea str.), on which there is an inscription for the year of the building completion. If the oldest date is XABC, and the newest is XDEF, then compute GHIJ = XABC + XDEF and K = I / F. Substitute the figures in the following coordinates: N 43° 24.KFG E 028° 09.BEH. The coordinates will lead you to the next point.

Step 2: On the coordinates found in the previous step try to find the following stone:

There is a date written below it: AB.CD.EFGH. Calculate: I = D – H; J = A + B + H; K = A + B; L = A – B; and substitute: N 43° 24.IDJ E 028° 09.KBL. The coordinates will lead you to the place where you should find a box with instructions for the next point.

Please be very careful with the containers! Open them carefully and return them exactly as you found them!
