Geocache Description:

Ústie Jarabinskej tiesnavy sa nachádza za kamenolomom v obci Jarabina, prístup do nej však treba zvolit z kopca nad obcou. Ako aj okolité vrchoviny je tvorená horninami magurského flyšu bradlového pásma so skamenelinami. Necelý kilometer dlhá a 100m široká tiesnava sa ku koncu zužuje na šírku len pár metrov. Jej najkrajšia cast, Jarabinský prielom, miestnymi obyvatelmi zvaný Pece, je približne dvestometrový úsek od ústia obklopený skalnými stenami vysokými 10-20 m. V prielome sa nachádza pät kaskád, koryto má najmä v spodnej casti prudký spád a je zovreté do tiesnavy širokej miestami len tri metre.
Okrem prielomu sa v okolí nachádzajú zaujímavé skamenelé amonity, lastúrniky z jurských cias, ktoré sa našli najmä v nedalekom kamenolome. Jarabinský prielom bol v roku 1967 vyhlásený za chránený prírodný výtvor a neskôr za chránanú prírodnú rezerváciu.

Keška je dosiahnutelná priamo z turistického znaceného chodníka.

The estuary of the Glen of Jarabina is located in the village Jarabina beyond a stone-pit, however, the access to it is from the hill above the village. Similarly as the surrounding highlands, it is formed of rocks from the Magura flysch of klippen belt with fossils. The glen which is not longer than 1 km and wide 100 m narrows down to only few meters towards its end. Its most beautiful part, the Breach of Jarabina, called Pece by the local inhabitants, is about 200 m long section from its estuary hemmed in by stone walls tall from 10 up to 20 m. One can find there 5 cascades and the riverbed with steep decline is surrounded by the glen wide only 3 m in some places.
Except the breach, other interesting fossil snake-stones and clams can be found in the surroundings which are from the Jurassic era and were found mainly in the nearby stone-pit. The breach of Jarabina was declared as a protected nature formation in 1967 and later as a protected nature reservation.
Additional information and some interesting pictures you can found here and here.
The cache is reachable directly from the turistic marked path.
