Pred športno dvorano v Litiji stoji bronasta skulptura colnarja. Za brodarje je bila Litija pomembno pristanišce od rimskih casov do srede 19. stoletja, po kateri je potekala živahna trgovska pot med Trstom, Ljubljano in Hrvaško. Promet se je odvijal ob visoki vodi; po reki navzdol so ladje vodili z drogovi, navzgor pa so jih s kopnega vlekli voli, ki so jih prepregali na postajah. Vožnja po reki navzgor od Krškega do Zaloga na robu Ljubljanske kotline je trajala okoli šest dni. V Litiji so brodarji prelagali tovor, pocivali in prenocevali, saj se nižje za Litijo kmalu zacne soteska z brzicami.
Na obmocju Litije je bilo pet pristanišc: Ponovice, Litija, Št. Jurij, Poganek in Apnenec pri Ribcah. Plovba po Savi je zamrla po zgraditvi železnice leta 1849.
Colnar in vaška situla sta tudi upodobljena na grbu Litije.

Zaklad se skriva na obmocju reke Save, kjer so savske sipine. Da bi prišli do njega, bo potrebno izracunati:

A = število lesenih stebrickov
B = seštevek vseh cifer v letnici postavitve spomenika
C = število crk v imenu avtorja spomenika
D = število crk v priimku avtorja spomenika

Kontrolna vsota: A + B + C + D = 30

N 46° 04.FGH
E 014° 49.JKL

F = A/2
G = A – B – C
H = B
J = C – D
K = D
L = C

A sculpture of a ferryman is located in front of the Litija sport hall. Litija was an important inland port for ferrymen from the time of ancient Rome to the middle of the 19th century. It was a busy trade route between Trst, Ljubljana and Croatia. At high waters boats were lead by poles (downstream), or were towed by oxen (upstream) from the river shore. Oxen were changed at the ports. The journey from Krško to Zalog (on the outskirts of Ljubljana) took six days. Ferrymen shifted their cargo in Litija and, because of a gorge with rapids later on down the river, they also rested and slept over night here.
There were five ports in the Litija area: Ponovice, Litija, St. Jurij, Poganek and Apnenec pri Ribcah. Navigation on the Sava river ended with the arrival of the railroad in 1849. Ferryman is also depicted on the Litija coat of arms.

The cache is located at Savske sipine (Sava Dunes) area. To get to the final location, you must count and calculate:

A = number of wooden poles
B = sum of all digits of the year the monument was built
C = number of letters in the monument author's first name
D = number of letters in the monument author's last name

Checksum: A + B + C + D = 30
