🇸🇮 Ko sem odkril klopco na razgledni polici na Poti svobode — morda je prav to tista »Titova polica« o kateri avtor poročila o odprtju poti v glasilu Gore in ljudje vzneseno zapiše, da je to » ... najslikovitejše mesto ... kjer se, zamaknjen v lepoto osvobojene domovine, s spoštovanjem spominjaš nadčloveških borb naših partizanov ... « — sem želel ob njej postaviti škatlico. Zaradi bližine drugih zakladov to ni mogoče. Zato pa vas zdaj virtualni zaklad vabi po eni samotnejših, a tudi eni najlepših šmarnogorskih poti. Na odseku med odcepom Mazijeve steze in priključkom na Westrovo pot srečanja z drugimi pohodniki niso prav pogosta. Pot je zelo razgledna in odprta, na izpostavljenem skalnem skoku pred klopco tudi zavarovana z jeklenico. Visokogorsko doživetje lučaj od mestnega okolja.

Hvala/Thanks, pošastki!
Gre za končni odsek poti, ki so jo po zamisli Vilka Mazija leta 1946 nadelali mladinci iz Pirnič (in/ali Vikrč - avtor poročila ni bil ravno poznavalec Šmarne gore in okolice, mu pa ni manjkalo za prva povojna leta značilne gorečnosti). Za 725 m poti od Zatrepa do priključka na Westrovo pot nad Turncem so porabili le 300 delovnih ur, ki so jih opravili ob nedeljskih popoldnevih. Pot so slovesno odprli 9. maja 1946 ob prvi obletnici konca druge svetovne vojne. Od tod tudi njeno ime.
Naloge za vpis najdbe zaklada
1. v bližini klopce, nekaj pred z jeklenico zavarovanim prehodom (ali za njim, če prihajate s severa od Westrove poti), boste opazili zelo izstopajoč skalni stolp (prav tega, na katerem na sliki sloni vzhodni kompasek - glej tudi točko). Sporočite mi, kaj je zapisano na skali.
2. posnemite fotografijo sebe, svoje navigacijske naprave ali drugega osebnega predmeta s klopco in razgledom v ozadju in jo objavite v dnevniškem zapisu. Če na sliki ni viden vaš obraz, morata biti na njej vaš geolovski vzdevek in datum najdbe, ki ju ni dovoljeno dodati naknadno z obdelavo slike.

🇬🇧 When I discovered the bench with a view on a ledge on Pot svobode (Freedom trail) — possibly the ledge that the author of the report about the opening of the trail in Gore in Ljudje magazine in 1946 calls »Tito's ledge” and rapturously writes that it is »... the most picturesque spot on the trail ... where one, enchanted by the beauty of liberated homeland, respectfully remembers the superhuman fights of our partisans...« — I wanted to place a physical cache. But I couldn't because of the proximity issues with nearby geocaches. Now, this virtual cache invites you to take one of the loneliest and one of the most beautiful trails on Šmarna gora. On the section between the fork with the Mazi path and the connection to Wester trail, one rarely encounters fellow hikers. The trail is very open, and offers great views and almost an Alpine experience on the edge of the city. In several spots, steel cables are placed for protection. I suggest you use the southern approach. Wester trail on the western ridge is very steep.
The cache is on the final section of the trail, allegedly conceived by Vilko Mazi. The youth of Pirniče (and/or Vikrče – the author of the report seemingly lacked the knowledge of the Šmarna gora area but didn't lack the fervour characteristic for the post-war times) built the 725 m trail from Zatrep terrace to Wester trail in just 300 working hours, mostly Sunday afternoons. The trail was officially opened on May 9, 1946, on the first anniversary of the end of World War 2. Hence the name of the trail.
Logging tasks
1. In the proximity of the bench, before the steel cable-protected section (or after it, if you take the route from the north), you will pass behind an outstanding rock tower (eastern member of the kompaski team leans on it in the photo – see waypoint). Send me the inscription on the rock (no photos, just the transcript!).
2. Take a photo of yourself, your navigation device or your personal item with the bench and the view in the background. If your face is not visible in the photo, the photo must feature your geocaching nickname and the date of the visit (it is not allowed to add them by image editing).
