Tato keska vas privedie do doteraz nepristupnych oblasti uprostred Levocskych vrchov, ktore boli po dlhe roky sucastou Vojenskeho vycvikoveho priestoru Javorina, a tym padom boli pre verejnost uplne uzatvorene na viac ako 50 rokov.
Cache lezi v miestach, kde 23. oktobra 1944 bolo pocas SNP na trase Tri Duby – Lvov nemeckou stihackou zostrelene sovietske dopravne lietadlo Li-2 so 7-clennou posadkou, osmymi ranenymi ceskoslovenskymi a francuzskymi vojakmi a osetrovatelkou. Tragediu prezili 4 clenovia posadky a jeden ceskoslovensky vojak. Pamatnik venovany obetiam tejto tragedie bol postaveny v roku 1965 a lezi na krizovatke ciest priamo na horskom hrebeni. Cache je od neho vzdialena cca. 330m severozapadne, hned vedla cesty, zvanej „Probstnerka“, zvazujucej sa do Levocskej Doliny.
Najjednoduchsi pristup je prave po tejto ceste, alebo po asfaltovej ceste, na ktoru je treba odbocit z cesty medzi Levocskou Dolinou a Zavadou. Podrobne je to zakreslene v mape. Ak nechces riskovat, tak si nechaj auto radsej pred rampou. Pesi je to sice dost daleko (cca. 8km), ale aspon mas istotu, ze ta nevymknu lesaci. Komu nechyba odvaha alebo autogen v kufri, ten moze kludne pokracovat az na drive-in :) Inak je to super teren pre horske bicykle, samotna trasa a hlavne jej vrcholove partie ponukaju siroke vyhlady na okolie. Poslednou alternativou je pristup zo SV po ceste od koty Vaclavak (nedaleko je Igiho Jankovec GC1098W), resp. z Torysiek, a dalej popri chate Vinna.

This cache will brong you to till now forbidden parts in the middle of Levocske vrchy (Levoca hills), which were the parts of Military training area Javorina and were closed for public for more than 50 years.
Cache is placed on site, where during World War II. at 23. October 1944 soviet military transport plane Li-2 was shoot down by german fighter. From 7 crew members, 8 injured czechoslovakian and french soldiers and nurse just 4 crew members and and one soldier survived. The memorial dedicated to the victims of this tragedy is lying on road crossing at the mountain ridge. Cache is placed nearby, just 330m NW near the road called „Probstnerka“, heading down to the Levocska Dolina.
The easyiest access to the cache is following that road, or using asphalt road when turning to the left from road between Levocska Dolina and Zavada. Open the picture named „Map“ for detailed description. Don’t risk and left your car before the ramp. It’s quite a distance (cca. 8km), but you can be sure you’re not getting locked in forests by woodman. If you’re brave or have welder in the trunk, you can drive further for ideal drive-in :) It is perfect terrain for MTB, the track and its’ upper parts offers great views. The last possibility how to get to the cache is to use road from NE (nearby GC1098W or from Torysky village) and then nearby the Chata Vinna.
