Geocache Description:

Sledi gozdni cesti nad izvirom navzgor do prvega ovinka in razpotja, nato zavij ostro levo (ne na cesto, temveč v gozd in nič več kot 3 metre ;) ) PS: Poglej slike za pomoč.

 

Follow the forest road upwards untill you reach the first turn and crossroad, then make a sharp left (not on the road, but into the forest, no more than 3 meters ;) ) PS: Check photos for help.


Geocache se nahaja pri izviru ob potoku Mozirnica, drugače imenovanem tudi ''Dohtarjev'' izvir. Poleti vam priporočam da avto pustite na označenih parkiriščih ali nekje ob cesti kjer je še betonirana, kajti vsa pot do izvira je v prijetno hladni senci in je zelo prijetna za osvežujoč sprehod ali koresarjenje (peš pot ne bi smela biti daljša od 25 min v zmernem tempu).

The Geocache is located at a spring by the creek Mozirnica, also known as the ''Dohtarjev (Doctor's) spring. In the summer I reccomend that you leave your car on the marked parkings or somewhere along the road where it's still paved, because the entire path to the spring is in shade and is a great place for a refreshing walk or biking (It should take you no more than 25 minutes by foot).

KOORDINATE MORDA NISO POPOLNOMA NATANČNE, KER NI SIGNALA OB POTOKU

THE COORDINATES MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY CORRECT AS THERE IS NO SIGNAL BY THE CREEK

 

Dohtarjev izvir

Po ustnem izročilu Mozirnica od nekdaj slovi kot zdravilna voda. Pomagala naj bi pri ženskih (ginekoloških) boleznih in tudi pri lajšanju bolečin v očeh. Seveda je bila v tistih časih kristalno čista. Še leta 1978 so se redno kopali v njej, saj je bila čista in zaradi tolmunov primerna za kopanje. Zakaj imenujejo ljudje izvir ob Mozirnici ''dohtarjev izvir''? V Mozirju je deloval že v prvi polovici 19. stoletja kot zdravstveni delavec Žiga Laykauf starejši. Bil je po nazivu >>kirurg<<. Študiral je devetletno medicinsko šolo v Gradcu. Izredno se je vživel v življenje v kraju. Ustanovil je Tujsko-prometno in olepševalno društvo. Ob marčni revoluciji 1949 je vodil v Mozirju narodno gardo. Posadil je drevored od Kopl'c do Ločkega mostu in bil pobudnik za gradnjo prvega bazena v naravnem okolju v Mozirju (Kopl'ce). Še bi lahko naštevali, kaj vse je počel za dobro kraja. Zelo se je zanimal za Mozirnico. Ob njej je našel nahajališče ledenodobnih okamenelih živalic in jih sproti pošiljal v Gradec na Geološki inštitut. Nenehno je iskal počitek ob Mozirnici in si tam za silo urejal okolje. Zato so ljudje govorili o ''dohtarjevem izviru''. Besedilo: Aleksander Videčnik

''Dohtarjev'' (doctors) spring

According to oral tradition the stream of Mozirnica has always been known as a healing water. People believed it was good for women (gynecological) diseases as well as eye diseases. Of course, in those days ot was crystal clear. Even in 1978 people regularly swam in it because it was clean and because the natural pools were suitable for swimming. Why do people call this spring by Mozirnica ''dohtarjev spring''? In the first half of the 19. century Žiga Laykauf sr. worked in Mozirje as a doctor (dohtar). He studied nine-year medicine school in Gradec. He managed to fit in really well in the small-town life. In the march revolution he was the leader of the national guard in Mozirje. He planted the trees from Kopl'ce to the Ach bridge in Loke and was one of the initiators for the build of the first pool in Mozirje ( Kopl'ce). We could go on and on about his good works for the town. He was very interested in the creek of Mozirnica. He found a deposit of ice-age fossils and sent them to Gradec to the Geological institute. He always searched for peace and rest by Mozirnica. That's why the people were talking about the ''dohtarjev'' spring.
