Ako obyvatela spod skaly ma mrzi ze turistiske chodniky v okoli casto vedu len desiatky metrov od nakrajsich miest ale nijako na ne nepoukazuju a preto mnoho turistov tade prejde bez povsimnutia si toho najlepsieho co mozu Haligovske Skaly ponuknut. Casto sa mi stane ze stretnem turistov ktori sa pytaju ako sa dostat na urcite miesta a aj preto som pre vas pripravil kes ktora vas prevedie tym naj. Haligovske Skaly su atrakciou samou o sebe a ako to uz byva tak aj tie sa vyskytuju v legendach a miestnych pribehoch. Podla vsetkeho Skaly uz od davna sluzili ako ukryt zbojnikov, partizanov ale aj Zidov pocas Druhej svetovej vojny. Starsi obyvatelia zvyknu spominat v ktorych dierach a jaskyniach sa zidia skryvali a niektori si spomenu este aj na ich mena. Taktiez sa vravi ze niektori zidia zakopavali v skalach aj casti svojich majetkov. Mna zaujalo rozpravanie mojho otca, ktory spomina ze po vojne sa u nas jeden z prezivsich zidov zastavil na jeho navsteve skal. Pri navrate si nieco z hor odnasal a po tejto navsteve ostala v Zbojnickej jaskyni vyhlbena diera a kusy stareho dreva. To podla otcovho rozpravania potvrdzuje ze v case vojny Skaly sluzili aj pre ukryt pokladov a teda ze nejake poklady tam mozu byt ukryte az dodnes.
Zbojnicka Jaskyna je mala jaskyna velkosti priblizne jednej vacsej miestnosti. Deli sa v podstate na tri casti, ktore by som kategorizoval ako vstup, hlavna sala a komora. Spominany Zidovsky poklad sa nachadzal v najzadnejsej casti(komore). Nasa keska sa nachadza vo vstupnej casti kde sa zaobijdete aj bez baterky avsak pre navstevu dalsich casti si nejaky zdroj svetla urcite prineste.
Pred jaskynou sa nachadza sklany utvar nazyvany Zbojnicka Brana, ktory mozete vidiet aj na obrazku. K jaskyni sa najlahsie dostanete po chodniku ktory zacina na znacenej turistiskej trase v mieste vyhladu na obec Haligovce nazyvany Pomirek. Pre lepsiu orientaciu po tomto chodniku ( v poslednych rokoch dost zarasta a pomaly sa straca) som vam pripravil aj zopar waypointov, ktore vas verim chodnikom bezpecne prevedu. Tento neznaceny chodnik vedie po hrebeni skal preto vhodna obuv a hlavne opatrnost su viac ako na mieste.

As a resident of area under the Rocks, I am sorry, that marked tourist trails in the area, often leads just yards from the most spectacular view spots of Haligovske Skaly and that the tourists regularly passed those places by without even knowing it. Quite often I meet people asking of directions to those places just after they returned back and are frustrated they missed some nice photo shots. Therefore I have hidden the cache in a place which takes you through some of those best spots. Haligovske Skaly is a natural attraction and as usually such attractions also appears in the legends and local stories. As it appears since old times has Haligovske Skaly served as a hidings for bandits, partisans and also jews during the Second World War. Older residents of Haligovce remembers which jewish families were hidden in which caves and they say that many of those hiding were also burying their fortune. When i was a kid, my father told me a story of one jewish man who stopped by my grandfather on his visit to Haligovske Skaly after war has ended and on his return from mountain he was carrying something with him. After this visit my father discovered hole full of old wood digged in the Zbojnicka Jaskyna(in translation Bandits Cave), which has for him served as proof that there really were hidden treasures in Haligovske Skaly or still are even today.
Zbojnicka Jaskyna(Bandits Cave) is a small cave of size of a bigger room. It has three parts which i would call as entrance, main chamber, and backchamber. Mentioned supposed jewish treasure were hidden in the backchamber. Our cache is hidden in the entrance where you don't need flashlight, however if you wish to visit other two as well i would recommend to bring some source of light with you.
In front of cave is Zbojnicka Brana(Bandits Gate) which you can see on the picture above.There is an unmarked trail leading to this gate and cave which starts by the green marked trail at the only view spot it offers(So called Pomirek). For better orientation (this unmarked trail is not as apparent as it use to be) i have prepared few waypoints which i believe brings you safely to the cache. This trail winds itself over the ridge, therefore good shoes and especially caution is really important.
