(ENG) NA SKALI - AT THE TOP OF THE CLIFF
TRAIL
To access Vrsnik valley, cross river Soca near the camping site Korita in the village Soca. You can park your car there or at WP1, from where you continue on foot. You will need about an hour of walking to reach the cache - many stops along the way are not included in this timing, of course. Follow waypoints that lead you along the footpath and part of the concrete-paved road to WP5, where the mule track starts. Follow mule-track to WP6, then turn to the footpath that will take you to the cache.
Make a stop at the chapel of Marija Snežna and enjoy a view from there - it is nearly as nice as from the cache site. The best place to see the vertical, sometimes overhanging cliff is from the trail above the chapel. This Cliff (Skala) also gave a name to the hamlet above. There is only a short walk up from there to the road curve with the cache.
The second possibility is a bicycle tour, using a paved road through Vrsnik valley. From WP1 continue by crossing the bridge on the right curve and follow the paved road all the way through a beautiful valley. There is about 5 km of road from river Soca to the cache site and just a little less than 400 m of ascent. A nice bike hike!
VIEW AND CONTINUATION OF THE HIKE
Rest and enjoy a magnificent view from the top of the cliff. Do not hurry back to the valley after you find a cache! Take a walk to the meadows above. You can buy delicious sheep cheese and fresh cheese at farms just about one kilometer further.
You can also plan half a day or one-day trip. In this case hamlet, Na Skali is a good starting point for a bicycle trip. Use good forest roads to reach upper alpine meadows and maybe continue on foot to Ravni dol valley or to some of the peaks nearby. Or you could make a round hike on foot.
Geocache is hidden at the road curve. It is easily and safely accessible! DO NOT search in the dangerous proximity of the cliff! Replace the camouflage rocks after returning the cache to the hiding place!
SOČA HIGHLIGHTS SERIES ALREADY HAS SEVERAL GEOCACHES PUBLISHED. YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN GEOCACHE TO THE SERIES IF IT COMPLIES TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Cache points to one of the natural wonders, cultural or historical monuments anywhere in the Soca valley.
2. Access to the cache is easy, preferably not far from a possible parking spot; At least, it doesn't take more than 1 hour to get from car to cache and back.
3. Cache is not too difficult to find.
4. Add "SHXX" in front of your geocache name, where "XX" represents the corresponding serial number of the cache in the series.
The cache is up there - above the cliff / Tam zgoraj je zaklad

DOSTOP
V vasi Soča prečkate reko Sočo pri avtokampu Korita, kjer lahk parkirate. Lahko pa se zapeljete nekaj sto metrov naprej do mostu v ostrem desnem ovinku - do točke WP1 - tam je prostor za avto ali dva, to je tudi točka od katere se proti zakladu odpravite peš. Potrebovali boste kakšno uro počasnejše hoje, v katero pa niso všteti pogosti postanki, ki se jim ne boste mogli izogniti. Sledite točkam WP2 do WP5 po stezah skozi gozd in na dveh delih kratek čas po betonski cesti. Pri točki WP5 se od ceste odpravite po mulatjeri do WP6, od tam pa vas steza vodi skozi gozd navzgor, vse do zaklada. To je bil dolgo časa edini dostop do zaselka Na Skali.
Ustavite se pri kapelici Marije Snežne, od koder je skoraj tako lep razgled kot pri zakladu SH0. S steze nad kapelico je najlepši pogled na visoko, navpično, ponekod celo previsno steno, po kateri je zgoraj ležeča planina tudi dobila ime. Od tam je le še krajši vzpon do cestnega ovinka Na Skali.
Druga možnost je kolesarski izlet po cesti, ki vas popelje po čudoviti dolini Vrsnika. Od točke WP1 nadaljujte na desno čez most in sledite asfaltirani cesti vseskozi po dolini navzgor. Od Soče do zaklada vodi kakih pet kilometrov dolga asfaltirana cesta, ki pa ima kar precej vzpona (skoraj 400m). Lep kolesarski potep!
RAZGLED IN NADALJEVANJE POTI
Odpočijte si na čudovitem razgledišču, ki ga nudi cestni ovinek vrh stene in se naužijte razkošnega razgleda. Ko boste našli zaklad, ne hitite takoj nazaj v dolino! Odpravite se na sprehod navzgor po planini. Na več domačijah, ki so oddaljene slab kilometer, vam bodo z veseljem ponudili izvrsten ovčji sir in skuto ter z vami porekli besedo ali dve.
Če ste se namenili na pol ali celodnevni izlet, je planina dobro izhodišče za kolesarski izlet po dobro urejenih gozdnih cestah do visoke planine V plazeh, z nadaljevnjem peš, do doline Ravni dol ali na bližnje vrhove. Pešci pa imate možnost tudi za krožno pot do planine Za skalo, s katere se lahko vrnete naravnost v dno doline Vrsnik.
Zaklad je skrit na cestnem ovinku. Dostop je povsem varen! Nikar ne iščte na robu stene! Po vrnitvi znova namestite kamuflažo.
SERIJA SOŠKIH ZNAMENITOSTI IMA ŽE CELO VRSTO ZAKLADOV. TUDI VAŠ ZAKLAD JE LAHKO DEL SERIJE, ČE LE USTREZA NASLEDNJIM POGOJEM:
1. Zaklad opozarja na naravno, kulturno ali zgodovinsko znamenitost kjerkoli v dolini Soče.
2. Dostop do zaklada je enostaven, ne predaleč od možnega parkirišča; Pot od avta do zaklada in nazaj ne vzame več kot 1 uro.
3. Zaklada ni pretežko odkriti.
4. Pred ime svojega zaklada dodajte "SHXX", kjer XX predstavlja ustrezno zaporedno številko zaklada v seriji.
