SLOVENSKO:
Živalski vrt Ljubljana je bil ustanovljen v letu 1949. Prvi prostori za živali so bili nameščeni v samem središču Ljubljane, čez dve leti pa so ga preselili na Večno pot na vznožje Rožnika, kjer je še danes. Leta 1988 je mejnik, ko so se začeli razvijati kot moderen živalski vrt: vsak prostor za živali mora biti urejen čim bolj naravno in tako, da vsebuje vse, kar žival v njem potrebuje: prostor za spanje, sončenje, iztrebljanje, opazovanje in umik pred obiskovalci. Vsaka vrsta ima svoje potrebe (kopanje, plezanje,...) zato se tudi njihovi prostori lahko močno razlikujejo. V letih od takrat so preuredili skoraj vse ograde, res pa je, da so tudi zmanjšali število živali, da lahko tem, ki jih imajo, nudijo dobro okolje.
Za Ljubljančane je simbol živalskega vrta kovinski kip bika v naravni velikosti kiparja Janeza Boljke, ki stoji pred vhodom. Nekaj manjših kipov živali tega kiparja pa se nahaja tudi znotraj živalskega vrta.
Zaklad:
Vaša naloga je, da se sprehodite po živalskem vrtu in poiščete spodaj naštete virtualne točke. Vsaka točka vas bo pripeljala do ograde z živalmi. V skupini "X" poiščite fotografijo živali, ki je v ogradi in v skupini "Y" fotografijo hrane te živali v naravnem okolju (eno izmed možnosti, ne nujno najbolj pogosto). V pomoč vam bodo informacijske table poleg ograde. Vrednost za par črk (X,Y) dobite v seznamu virtualnih točk v opisu tega zaklada. Formula za izračun končne točke je:
N46° 03.NNN E014° 28.EEE
NNN = (A+B-T)(C+E-S)(F+G-R)
EEE = (K+L-J)(M+N-I)(P+Q-H)
Ključavnica = K*O*D*A (zmnožite številke) |
OPOZORILO: za obisk in najdbo tega zaklada je potrebno vstopiti v živalski vrt in plačati vstopnino. Odpiralni časi so:
| januar, december: |
9.00 - 16.30 |
| februar, marec, november: |
9.00 - 17.00 |
| oktober: |
9.00 - 18.00 |
| april - september: |
9.00 - 19.00 |
Končna točka je skrita znotraj živalskega vrta na prostoru, ki je dostopen obiskovalcem. Uslužbenci so z zakladom seznanjeni, vendar interakcija z njimi ni potrebna.
ENGLISH:
The Ljubljana ZOO was opened in 1949. First it was located in the very center of Ljubljana, but in two years time it was moved to protected nature park Rožnik hill 20-minute walk away from the centre. In 1988 it started to evolve into a modern type of ZOO, which puts special consideration into well-being of the animals. In the following years they renovated almost all enclosures according to the standards which require that animals have enough space to exhibit natural behaviour with places to feed, sleep, rest and even hide from the view of the visitors. Each species has unique needs – they might need to dig, climb, swim,... so enclosures can differ greatly.
In front of the ZOO is a metal statue of a bull in a natural size made by sculptor Janez Boljka. Ljubljana residents regard this statue as a symbol of the ZOO. There are several smaller statues from the same sculptor inside of the zoo as well.
The geocache:
Your task is to walk around the ZOO and find listed virtual waypoints. Each waypoint will bring you to the enclosure with animals. In group "X" find photo of the animal in the enclosure and in group "Y" food of this animal in natural environment (one possibility, not necessary the most common food). Info tables at the enclosure will be of great help. You will get a pair of letters (X,Y), their value can be found in a waypoint list of this description. Formula for the final point is:
N46° 03.NNN E014° 28.EEE
NNN = (A+B-T)(C+E-S)(F+G-R)
EEE = (K+L-J)(M+N-I)(P+Q-H)
Locker = C*O*D*E (multiply numbers) |
PLEASE NOTE: to solve and find this geocache one has to enter the ZOO and pay an entrance fee. The opening hours are:
| january, december: |
9.00 - 16.30 |
| february, march, november: |
9.00 - 17.00 |
| october: |
9.00 - 18.00 |
| april - september: |
9.00 - 19.00 |
The final point is hidden inside the ZOO at a place, accessible to visitors. The zoo staff is aware of the geocache but you don't need to interact with them.
