Geocache Description:

Ajdovska luknja - zatočišče bohinjskih staroselcev
Ajdovska luknja - refuge of indigenous inhabitants of Bohinj

Ajdovska luknja je razmeroma velik spodmol v prepadnem pobočju Mokrega loga nad Sotesko. Do približno 6. stoletja so se vanjo zatekali bohinjski staroselci pred roparskimi pohodi v dolini, najdbe kopač (poleg številnih drugih predmetov) pa pričajo, da so tu tudi kopali železovo rudo.
Ajdovska luknja is a rather large rock shelter in the precipitous slopes of Mokri log in Soteska. Until approximately 6th century it was used by indigenous inhabitants of Bohinj as a refuge from pillaging in the valley and also as an iron ore mine (as testified by many artifacts, unearthed during archaeological excavations).



Obiskovalci tega pozabljenega kraja so redki. Dostop je težaven, saj poteka večinoma po brezpotju in lovskih stezicah, po zadnjem žledolomu so prehodi zelo težavni. Zadnjih 200 m je treba opraviti po brezpotju s prečenjem zelo strmega pobočja. Nujna oprema so vsaj ustrezna planinska obutev in pohodne palice, obiska zaklada se ne lotevajte sami. Preden se podate na pot, skrbno preberite opis zaklada in preučite objavljene fotografije.
Visitors of this lost place are rare. Access is difficult, mostly off-trail or on unmarked trails, that are in some places not easy (and after last devastation by sleet) impossible to follow. The last 200 m is off-trail crossing of a very steep hillside. Good hiking boots and hiking poles are mandatory equipment, it is not advised to visit the cache alone. Please read the description of the cache and study the photos carefully before you venture into the outdoors.

Dostop: S ceste Bled-Bohinj zavijte takoj za mostom v Soteski in poiščite parkirišče ob gozdni cesti, ki vodi ob Savi proti izhodišču. Na izhodišču pri točki TRAILHEAD se od gozdne ceste v gozd odcepi kolovoz, ki kmalu izgine, vi pa sledite komaj vidni stezici navzgor proti hudourniški strugi. Tu stezica zavije desno navzgor. Vendar je bolj priporočljivo prečkati strugo in se usmeriti navzgor ob njej po deloma brezpotju, deloma pa slabo vidni stezici, ki v okljukih pripelje približno v višino točke RUINE. Do nje pridemo po nekaj 100 m hoje po večinoma lahkem brezpotju. Zdaj ste približno v višini luknje, vendar se je treba najprej usmeriti navzdol in v smeri točke SKALE prečiti zelo strmo pobočje, kjer je posebej v mokrem velika nevarnost zdrsa. Naprej je pot najvarnejša ob vznožju stene (ki je dobro vidna na fotografiji desno od Ajdovske luknje), za katero se je treba do pomola pred luknjo povzpeti še za približno 15 m. Vrnete se po isti poti.
Access: Leave the regional road Bled-Bohinj just after the bridge in Soteska and follow the unpaved road towards the start of the trail. Park at any convenient spot. At the waypoint TRAILHEAD turn left to two-track that ends towards the edge of the woods and follow a faint trail up towards a torrential stream bed, where trail turns sharply upwards to the right. Don't follow it but cross the stream bed and follow it upwards partly off-trail and partly on a barely visible trail. Once you gain enough elevation, turn to the left and search the easiest passages towards the waypoint RUINE. You are approximately at the level of Ajdovska luknja, but you first need to descend towards the waypoint SKALE by crossing a very steep hillside that can be dangerous if the ground is wet. From there on, keep along the foot of the cliff (that you can see in the photo extending to the right of the cavern). Once you get around it, Ajdovska luknja is some 15 m above you. Use the same way to return.



Zaklad je 480 ml Lock & Lock škatlica, v kateri je prostora tudi za geokovance in manjše popotne hroščke (travelbug). Začetna vsebina: beležka, svinčnik in šilček (prosim ne odnesi), neaktiviran travelbug za prvega najditelja in nekaj malenkosti za menjavo (med drugim tudi Lego figurice #112 in #113).
The cache is a 480 ml Lock & Lock container, that can hold geocoins and small travelbugs. Initial content: logbook, pencil and pencil sharpener (please do not remove), unactivated travelbug for the First to find and some small exchange items (among them Lego minifigures #112 and #113).

Skrivališče je na izhodiščnih koordinatah, ki so bile izmerjene s povprečenjem, vendar je pogrešek pri določanju položaja zaradi močno zakritega horizonta zelo velik. Z GPS napravo si pri iskanju ne boste mogli veliko pomagati. Zaklad je skrit v večjih skalah v osrednjem delu luknje, nekaj metrov pred zadnjo steno.
Cache is hidden on final coordinates, that were measured using waypoint averaging, but estimated position error is quite large due to very limited view of the horizon. Thus, GPS device will not be of much help. The cache is hidden in the large rocks in the central part of the shelter, a few meters before the back wall.
