Mirtoviški potok
Biser Kolpske doline
Dolina reke Kolpe skriva mnogo naravnih lepot. Pravi biser med njimi je Mirtoviški potok.
Nahaja se pod 942m visoko Krempo. Izvira na idiličnem kraju sredi hribovitega gozda. Izvir obdajajo skale prevlečene z mahom in je zelo slikovit. Na koncu izvira pa je mogočna soteska z jamo.
Mirtoviški potok slovi po neizmernem bogastvu živalskega in rastlinskega sveta. Redke in ogrožene vrste, ki so drugod že zdavnaj izginile, so ob potoku nekaj vsakdanjega. Dolino preletavajo orli, nad potokom pa živijo jeleni. Na prepadnih ostenjih Borovške gore lahko opazimo gamse in druge velike gozdne živali.
Klimatske razmere omogočajo svojevrstno simbiozo običajnega rastlinstva z mediteranskim elementom.
Potok je včasih poganjal mline in žago, danes pa ob koncu stoji manjša hidroelektrarna.
Pritok Mirtoviškega potoka je Modri poh, ki je bogat z brzicami, kadicami in malimi slapovi. V njem lahko ugledate potočnega raka. Vsekakor se je vredno sprehoditi ob tej slikoviti soteski.
Avto parkirajte na priporočenem parkirišču in se odpravite po poti ob potoku do razpotja, ki ga najdete med točkami (waypoint Razpotje). Tam v bližini vas čaka še zaklad Modri poh, nato pa se odpravite naprej po poti na desno, ki vas vodi do konca potoka in po skalah poraščenih z mahom do zakladka. Če se povzpnete še višje pa si lahko ogledate tudi jamo, ki smo vam jo prav tako označili na zemljevidu (waypoint Jama).
Zakladek si pred obiskom shranite v napravi, saj na lokaciji ni signala.
Mirtoviški Creek
Pearl of the Kolpa Valley
The Kolpa Valley hides many natural beauties. The real pearl among them is Mirtoviški Creek.
It is located under Krempa, which is 942 meters high. It originates in an idyllic location in the midst of a hilly forest. The spring is surrounded by moss-covered rocks and is very picturesque. At the end of the spring, there is a canyon with a cave.
Mirtoviški Creek is known for its endless wealth of animal and plant life. Rare and endangered species, which have long since disappeared elsewhere, are commonplace along the creek. Eagles fly through the valley and deer live above the creek. On the steep cliffs of Borovška Gora, you can see chamois and other large forest animals.
The climate conditions allow for a unique symbiosis of normal vegetation with Mediterranean elements.
In the past, the creek ran mills and sawmills, but today at the end there is a small hydroelectric power plant.
The tributary of Mirtoviški Creek is Modri Poh, which is rich in streams, pools and small waterfalls. You can see crayfish in it.
Park your car at the recommended parking lot and follow the path along the creek to the junction, which you will find between the waypoints (waypoint Razpotje). Nearby, you will find the Modri Poh treasure, then continue on the right path that leads to the end of the creek and over the moss-covered rocks to the cache. If you climb even higher, you can also see the cave, which we have also marked on the map (waypoint Jama).
Save the cache on your device before visiting, as there is no signal at the location.
