The cache is dedicated to the traverine quarry in the village Hrhov.
Pod upatim planiny Horny Vrch, na okraji obce Hrhov prameni jedna z najvydatnejsich vyvieraciek Slovenskeho Krasu - vyvieracka Fej.
Vody vyvieracky vytvorili usadzovanim az 16 metrov hrubu vrstvu svetlo hnedeho travertinu, ktoreho vek sa odhaduje na takmer 5000 rokov. Nepravidelne tvarovane travertinove platne uctyhodnych rozmerov 150m az 300m sa nachadzaju aj pod castou samotnej obce. Na jednej z platni stoji aj RK kostol, povodne postaveny v 13. storoci.
V minulosti sa travertin tazil a vyuzival ako stavebny material.
Obzvlast makke a silne porovite vapence dokazali do potrebneho tvaru vyrezat pilkou. Na viacerych miestach v obci je mozne vidiet ploty postavene z travertinovych blokov vytazenych tu v lome.
Odtazenim casti travertinovej platne vznikol priamo uprostred obce aj Hrhovsky vodopad. V jeho blizkosti a v blizkosti vyvieracky sa nasli viacere ????, ale aj archeologicke nalezy.
By the spring and the waterfall itself, there were found many ???? and archeological findings
