Geocache Description:

Izvir Bistrice je skriti zaklad Bohinja že sam po sebi. Za približno 1 uro hoje iz Bohinjske Bistrice boste nagrajeni z naravno lepoto tega samotnega kraja in odslej tudi s skrito škatlico.

Bistrica spring is a hidden treasure of Bohinj on itself. Approximately 1 hour hike from Bohinjska Bistrica will be rewarded by natural beauty of this remote place and from now on also by a little little box.



Bistrica z izvirom Pod Luknjo je najmočnejši pritok Save Bohinjke, vodo dobiva iz Spodnjih Bohinjskih gora. Potok sicer izvira višje v grapi pod planino Osredki, vendar kot izvir štejemo slapova, ki nižje privreta iz kraške luknje, do koder je speljana označena pot. Zgornji rob 7 m visokega večjega slapu, ki pada v velik tolmun, je zidan, ker je bila voda za potrebe hidroelektrarne ob gradnji Bohinjskega predora v letih 1900-1905 speljana skozi rov in po lesenih rakah do strojnice v Bohinjski Bistrici (na mestu današnje oz. nekdanje ribogojnice pri Zoisovem gradu); ostanek tega je manjši slap, ki bruha skozi pravokotno odprtino v skali. Izvir Bistrice je tudi vir pitne vode za Bohinjsko Bistrico.

Dostop: najbližje parkirišče je na koncu ceste ob zaselku Pozabljeno, od koder vodi do izvira označena pot. Parkirate lahko seveda kjer koli v Bohinjski Bistrici (in si s tem nekoliko podaljšate hojo) in se usmerite proti Pozabljenemu pri mostu ob Zoisovem gradu (WP1) ali na začetek poti na Črno prst mimo vojaškega pokopališča na Rebru (WP2). Pot je označena. Da pridete do tolmuna pod slapom je treba prečkati most. Za povratek lahko izberete tudi pot čez Dobravo (smerokaz), ki je slabše označena, vendar zaradi razglednosti ne bo težav z iskanjem prave poti.

Pozor: zaradi ozkega pasu neba in dreves je natančnost GPS naprav na končni lokaciji slaba in določanje položaja zelo spremenljivo (kar smo upoštevali pri izbiri skrivališča). Kljub temu bi vas koordinate morale pripeljati na kraj, kjer je zaklad mogoče najti tudi brez namiga. Namig bi moral razrešiti dvome, če pa vse odpove, je na voljo še spoiler fotografija.

Začetna vsebina:
- beležka, svinčnik in šilček (prosim ne odnesi)
- neaktiviran travelbug za prvega najditelja
- geocaching trak za ključe
- geocaching priponka
- nekaj malenkosti za menjavo

Bistrica is the largest tributary to Sava Bohinjka river, its watershed is Lower Bohinj Mountains ridge. It starts as a small creek higher above in the slopes of Lisec, but it is generally accepted that the spring of Bistrica is a karst vent hole just above the waterfall, that is reached by the trail from Bohinjska Bistrica. Upper part of the 7 m waterfall is artificial, as during construction of the Bohinj tunnel in 1900-1905 the water was channelled from the spring to the hydroelectric power station in the village (the site of former fish farm near Zois manor?). The remnant of the channel can be seen as smaller waterfall that falls through a rectangular hole in the rock to the left of the main waterfall. Bistrica spring is also the main drinking water supply for Bohinjska Bistrica.

Access: the closest parking place is at the end of the road at Pozabljeno, where the marked trail starts. Of course you can park anywhere in Bohinjska Bistrica and direct yourself to the start of the trail at WP1 just across the bridge from Zois manor or to the start of the marked trail to Črna prst past military cemetery Rebro (WP2). Trail to the spring is marked (Izvir Bistrice). Go across the bridge to get close to the waterfall. You can return over Dobrava meadows (signpost), the trail is less well marked, but with good view of the village you'll know where to go.

Note: narrow view of the sky and trees greatly influence the accuracy of GPS devices at final location (which was taken into account when hiding the cache). Nevertheless, the published coordinates should bring you to a location where it is possible to find the cache without hint. Hint should be revealing enough. Spoiler image is provided if everything else fails.

Initial content:
- logbook, pencil, pencil sharpener (please do not remove)
- unactivated travelbug for the First to find
- geocaching lanyard
- geocaching pin
- some small toys
