Vrhniški bajerji / Vrhnika ponds Traditional Cache

SLO:

Na Vrhniki oziroma Verdu so včasih izdelovali opeko. Najbolj znana je bila Kotnikova opekarna. Odprli so jo konec 19. stoletja. Zaprli pa so jo kmalu po drugi svetovni vojni. Po Francu Kotniku se tudi imenuje Kotnikova ulica v Ljubljani. V sedemdesetih letih je z izdelovanjem opeke nadaljevala Industrija usnja Vrhnika, kar pa ni dolgo trajalo.

Po končanju proizvodnje je nekdanje glinokope zalila voda. Nastali so tako imenovani vrhniški bajerji ali ribniki. Po številu jih je pet, trije večji in dva manjša. To so skriti vrhniški biseri. Lahko jih izkoristimo za izlete, ribolov, pozimi pa je mogoče na njih tudi drsanje. V njih živi več vrst rib, ogrožena želva močvirska sklednica. Ob njih gnezdi več ptic, nekatere pa so samo občasni gosti. Ribniki sodijo tudi v območje Natura 2000.

Najlaže jih najdete, če na Vrhniki zavijete v Verd. Po dobrem kilometru, ko se peljete pod avtocesto, zavijete levo. Peljete se ob avtocesti do mesta, kjer lahko parkirate. Tu že vidite bajerje, okoli katerih je speljana pešpot. Po njej se lahko zapeljete tudi s kolesom.

Začetna vsebina: logbook, svinčnik, TB, nekaj igračk za menjavo.

ENG:

In Vrhnika, actually Verd, bricks were made here. The best known was Kotnik's brickyard. It was opened in the 19th century. However, it was closed shortly after World War II. Kotnikova ulica in Ljubljana is also named after Franc Kotnik. In the 1970s, the Vrhnika Leather Industry continued to produce bricks, which did not last long.

After production was completed, the former clay pits were flooded. The so-called Vrhnika ponds or swamp-pond. There are five, three of them are big and two are small. They are hidden Vrhnika pearls. They can be used for trips, fishing, and in winter they can also be used for skating. Several species of ribs live in them, the endangered marsh turtle. Several birds nest next to them, but they are only occasional guests. The ponds also belong to the Natura 2000 area.

You can find most of them if you turn to Verd in Vrhnika. After a good kilometer, when you drive under the highway, turn left. You drive along the highways to places where you can park. You can already see the ponds here, the circumstance is a footpath. In fact, you can also ride a bike.
