Turist Magura

-

Turík Magura (also Turanská Magura or Turianska Magura, Magura Turicka or Magura Turin, 1085 m) is a mountain in the western part of the Choc Mountains in Slovakia.

Position

Magura Turicka is located in the group of the Great Chocza - the highest mountain of the Choc Mountains. It rises in the ridge, running south-east from the top of the Little Chocza and is separated from it by the wide saddle of the Žimerová Pass. On the south-east side, another pass separates it from a slightly lower peak called Smrekov (1024 m). On the western side of the Turin Magyar Massif limits the valley of Turík, while from the north the valley of Jastrabá. Turin's summit is dominated by the Turík from the north-west, from which it has its name. Geology and morphology

  • The Turin Magura Massif is made up of marble from the lower Cretaceous, and also from the Jurassic and Triassic limestones, where several small caves were formed. The slopes of the massif are generally steep, to the south and north, separated by several deep valleys. The domed peaks are clearly flattened. Tourism

    There is no marked hiking trail at the top of the Turin Magura. For this reason, despite its easy accessibility (especially from the red marks of the Žimerová Pass) it is rarely visited. The summit is almost entirely wooded, however, with several smaller clearings offering interesting views of the rocky cliffs of Little and Great Chocza. Bibliography

    Pupo Román

    José René "Pupo" Román Fernández (died 1961) - Dominican general. Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

    Myrmex Indikos

    -
    Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler. The fragment of the Megasthenes (IV-III century BC) preserved in fragments can be seen in the underground mines at the foot of the mountains on the easte...

    Names of streets and squares

    -
    The names of the streets and squares were originally of a topographical nature, that is, they informed about: Researchers propose two names for these toponyms - urban or plateonimy. S. Urbańczyk points out that the older names were spontaneously formed and sprouted in the daily lives of the inhabitants of the place. The information contained herein was related to the characteristics of the place (eg appearance), important road directions (geographic orientation) or values, functions and economic meanings called places / objects in the settlement for the inhabitants' lives. Former names are protected by law, but are often not respected by managers of the municipality, county or province. Currently the names of streets and squares are given by the commune authorities, county governors or voivodships. There is a tendency to use commemorative names, ie to commemorate deserving people and important events (eg Zygmunt August Street, 3. Maja Street). The names of the districts are ...
