Geocache Description:


SI: Planinsko polje je šolski primer kraškega polja, saj na eni strani izvira reka, na drugi strani pa ponikne. Samo polje je dolgo 5km in široko okoli 2,5km, po njem pa v meandrih teče reka Unica. Polje leži na 450 m nadmorske višine, ter se razteza na skoraj 11 km2 površine, ter sega v tri občine – Logatec, Postojna in Cerknica. Je najnižje ležeče polje Notranjskega podolja, katero je večkrat letno tudi poplavljeno. Voda na polje prihaja iz treh različnih virov – reke Unice, Malenščice in hudourniškega rokava reke Rak - Škratovka.  Na polju pa najdemo tudi endemit kraških polj, travniška modra čebulica – Scilla (lat. Scilla litardierei) saj je to njeno najbolj severozahodno rastišče. Prav tako pa na polju, kjer gnezdijo, najdemo kosca (lat. Crex crex) (ogrožena ptica), pisano penico (lat. Sylvia nisoria), rjavega srakoperja (lat. Lanius collurio ) in vodomca (lat. Alcedo atthis). Prav zaradi teh naravnih posebnosti je Planinsko polje uvrščeno v območje Natura 2000, njegove geomorfološke posebnosti pa so naravna vrednota državnega pomena.

Ob robu Planinskega polja je nastalo tudi več naselij, največje med njimi je Planina, poleg te pa še Laze, Jakovica, Grčarevec in Liplje.

Serija zakladkov po Planinskem polju vas bo popeljala na ogled znanih in manj znanih posebnosti.

Določeni zakladki vsebujejo tudi bonus številke, ki vas za zaključek peljejo na še eno skrito točko Planinskega polja.

 

EN: Planinsko polje or Planina field is a school example of a karst field, as the river emerge on one side and sinks on the other side. The field itself is 5 km long and 2.5 km wide, and the river Unica flows through it in meanders. Field lies 450 meters above sea level and extends over an area of 11 km2. The field spreads over three municipalities – Logatec, Postojna and Cerknica. It is the lowest lying field over the system of field in the Notranjska area. Several times in a year, the filed is flooded and transformed into a lake. The water in the filed comes from three different sources – river Unica, stream Malenščica and the torrential arm of the river Rak – Škratovka. On the field we can observe endemic flower of the karst fields - Scilla litardierei - Meadow Sea bulb. This field is its northwesternmost habitat. Beside that, on Planina field we can find the corn crake (crex crex) (which is an endangered species), barred warbler (Sylvia nisoria), Red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) and common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis). All this natural specific, the Planina field is part of Natura 2000, the geomorfological feature of the field are part of natural value of national importance.

On the edge of the field, during time emerge also some villages and settlements. The biggest among them are Planina, other are Laze, Jakovica, Grčarevec and Liplje.

This series of the caches about Planina field will take you on the sightseeing some of the specialties.

Some caches also contain bonus numbers, which leads you to another beautiful, but somehow hidden spot of Planina field.

SI: Putickove štirne ali rešeto so dobile ime po svojem graditelju, češkem gozdarskem inženirju, speleologu in krasoslovcu Viljemu Puticku, kateri je raziskoval naš kraški podzemni svet. Ideja iz konca 19. stoletja, je bila da bi se reko Unico reguliralo, da bi polje manj poplavljajo. Putick je s svojim delom odkrival kam odtekajo kraške vode, iz cerkniškega in planinskega konca, ter raziskoval medsebojne povezave. Ker je bil to čas idej, kako bi polje izsušili in zavarovali pred poplavljanjem, je Putick prišel na idejo, kako bi voda lahko hitreje odtekala.  S tem namenom so uredili ponore Pod stenami, pri čemer so umetno zgradili dva kot kamniti vodnjak velika objekta, ki se zaključita s podzemnim sifonom, pokrita sta z zaščitno mrežo, kamor se ulovijo večji kosi vejevja in ostale naplavine. Putickove štirne so danes del slovenske kulturne dediščine, tehnični spomenik.

EN: Putick's wells or catavothres, were named after their builder, the Czech forestry engineer, speleologist and krasologist Wilhelm Putick. At the end of the 19th century, there were ideas of how to regulate the river Unica, so there would be less flooding. That was the time, where the rivers were meliorated and there were a lot of attempts on how to dry the field, so there will be more space for agriculture. Putick's work was to discover where all that water from the karst goes, and all the interconnection of the water from Planina field and Cerknica lake. After the field study, Putick came to an idea, how the water can be drained faster.  For this purpose, they arrange two circular artificial shafts, each about 10m deep, protected by iron grids. Putick's wells are today Slovenian culture heritage, as monuments to technical innovation.
