The box is placed in a side hole in the Prskalo waterfall, located in the Nekudovo river valey in Kucaj mountains, eastern Serbia.
Prskalo is probably the most unusual waterfall in Serbia, with a narrow streak of water falling off a pointed towering formation built by the sediments accumulated by the water flow. There's nothing like it anywhere near, and it almost looks like something man made.

It is situated about 20 metres above the unpaved road through the Nekudovo valley some 17 km from turning off the pavement in the little town of Resavica (there are signs pointing towards Resavica valley and Valkaluci at the junction). About halfway there keep right (straight forward), instead of turning left with the Resavica river.

There is a sign saying "Prskalo" by the road, pointing right, across the river. Raise your sight, and you'll see the waterfall. Several metres further you'll see a trail crossing the river, and right next to it an improvised bridge consisting of two logs for pedestrians. So you can reach the Prskalo waterfall either on foot or by off road vehicles (you can even drive regular passenger vehicles right up to the river crossing by the waterfall).

The geocache is hidden in a hole on the left side of the rocky formation of the waterfall, the biggest one you'll see while standing right beside it. Just climb to it, reach with you hand inside, and you'll find a cyllindrical box with the www.freebiking.org sign on it, a notepad, a pen and some candies inside. When you return the geocache, take care to put it on the right side of the space behind the hole, so it doesn't accidentally slip out of reach into the narrow tunnel on the left.

The nature around the waterfall is very picturesque, and it's a fine camping spot, with a table and benches provided for the purpose.

During our motorcycle tour accross the former Yugoslavia,
we visited also that beautiful waterfall and found him perfect for
taking a shower... The hole on the left side was empty
so I left a new bag, little plastic box and the original cache
printout as temporarely cache in the hole.

TFTC!
