Geocache Description:


HR

Rijeka Reka, dužine 96km, je najveća slovenska rijeka ponornica. Izvire na klanjskom području zvanom Vela voda. Izvor koji je udaljen 1,8 kilometara od slovenske granice, nalazi se ispod visoravni Gumance na 620 metara nadmorske visine.

Reka protiče kroz Ilirsku Bistricu i uvire u Škocjanske jame, te se nakon 42 km podzemnog toga pojavljuje u Italiji pod imenom Timavo u mjestu Duino i ulijeva se u Tršćanski zaljev.

 

Izvor Vela voda udaljen je oko 1km od kućice u Staroj rebri i obilježen je putokazima i plavim točkama. Pristup izvoru je prilično zahtjevan zbog strmog terena, poglavito za vrijeme kišnog i zimskog razdoblja. Sam izvor nije izdašan. Bio je zatrpan kamenjem i granjem, tako da je voda izvirala iz više mjesta. Članovi Planinarskog društva Pliš odstranili su nabacano kamenje i očistili izvor, tako da sada voda izbija na površinu iz jednog mjesta.

 

Do početka staze vodi makadamska cesta. Ukoliko ne želite mučiti svog limenog ljubimca, auto možete ostaviti kod skloništa Rebar.

River Reka, 96 km long, is the largest Slovenian underground river. It rises on Klana area called Vela voda. The source is only 1.8 kilometers from the Slovenian border and is located below the plateau Gumance at 620 meters above sea level.

The river flows through Ilirska Bistrica and emerges into the Škocjan caves, and after 42 km of underground flow appeares  in Italy under the name of Timavo in Duino and flows into the Gulf of Trieste.

Source Vela water is 1km distant from the  mountain shelter Rebar and the access is marked with signs and blue dots. Access to the source is quite challenging because of the steep terrain, especially during the rainy and winter period. The source is not plentiful. It was cluttered with stones and branches, so the water was emerging from several places. Members of the Mountaineering association Pliš have removed the piled stones and cleaned the source, so now the water surfaces from one point.

A macadam road leads to the beginning of the track. If you do not want to torment your car, you can park it by the shelter Rebar.
