Volovja reber je izredno markantna reliefna oblika, vidna od dalec naokoli. Pogled se razprostira na Brkine, Cicarijo z Ucko in Slavnikom, Vremšcico, Nanos, Kvarnerski zaliv, dolino Pivke, prostrane gozdove Snežniške planote z najvišjim vrhom Snežnikom in celo na Julijske Alpe in italijanske Dolomite.

Volovja reber je znana tudi po tem, da je bivališce mnogih ogroženih živalskih vrst, zlasti ptic. V novejših casih se pa ime pojavlja predvsem v povezavi z postavitvijo vetrnih elektrarn.
Dostop do zakladka je sicer možen z avtomobilom po zelo urejeni in ravni gozdni cesti (do 100m bližine), vendar zaradi ohranjanja neokrnjene narave priporocamo, da se do koncne lokacije odpravite peš ali s kolesom (cca 1km od parkirišca pri razpotju, oznacenega na tej strani).

Volovja reber is a dwelling place for many endangered species, especially birds. Recently, the name Volovja reber appears in relation to the project of building wind farms for harvesting energy. Protesters argue that wind turbines would have an inadmissible impact on endangered species of birds.
Allthough it is possible to get to about 100m near the cache location by car on the flat and good forest road, we recommend that you park on the marked spot (crossroads) and hike or bike to the location (cca 1km) for the purpose of preservation of pristine nature.
