Ljubljansko barje – Rakova Jelša - Ribarjenje
Ljubljansko barje meri 163 km2, oziroma 0,9 % slovenskega ozemlja. Ob vsakoletnih poplavah, je poplavljena površina območja do 80 km2.
Z geološkega stališča je to več kot 200 m globoka poznopliocenska udornina izpred dveh milijonov let, nastala na stičišču alpskega in dinarskega sveta.
Živalstvo
Veliki škurh (Numenius arquata) si gnezdo splete na tleh, na močvirnem travniku. Ko samica vali jajca, nepremično sedi na gnezdu v visoki travi in se zanaša na svojo varovalno barvo. Takrat je zanjo usodno, če jo najde pes, ki spuščen z vrvice prosto teka po Barju.
Kosec je vrsta travniške ptice in je edina v svetovnem merilu ogrožena vrsta, ki gnezdi na Ljubljanskem barju. Še pred desetimi leti je na barju gnezdila še ena globalno ogrožena vrsta ptice, južna postovka, ki pa je danes tam ni več.
Čeprav Ljubljansko barje obsega le odstotek celotne površine Slovenije ima zaradi izjemnosti habitatov na njem svoj dom tudi do 20 odstotkov populacije nekaterih vrst travniških ptic. Med njimi predvsem veliki škurh, katerega deset parov na Barju predstavlja edino stalno slovensko gnezditveno populacijo, s pomembnim deležem pa so zastopane tudi druge vrste: prepelica, priba, poljski škrjanec, repaljščica, močvirska trstnica, postovka. Na Ljubljanskem barju najdemo še nekatere ogrožene vrste gozdnih ptic in močvirskih ptic, vsega skupaj kar 107 vrst rednih in občasnih gnezdilcev, obenem pa je to območje, pomembno za prezimovanje in selitvene prelete številnih drugih vrst ptic.
Na Ljubljanskem barju najdemo ogroženo vlagoljubno populacijo barjanskega okarčka. Slednja ne živi nikjer drugje. Ponovno jo naseljujejo v Iškem morostu.
Na širšem območju Ljubljanskega barja živi okoli 45 vrst sesalcev, med najbolj ogroženimi pa je vidra, ki jo je mogoče občasno zaslediti ob Ljubljanici in Iščici. Pomemben člen barjanskega ekosistema so številne voluharice, ki živijo izključno na travnikih. Zelo redka je postala močvirskemu svetu prilagojena želva močvirska sklednica. Dvoživk (zelena rega, urh, rjava in zelena žabe) in nevretenčarjev je na barju še v izobilju, kar je tudi eden izmed razlogov za pestrost in številčnost ptic.
RAKOVA JELŠA
Ime Rakova jelša izhaja iz dejstva, da je na omenjenem območju prisotnost jelše v takih količinah, da zastruplja zemljo in zato ostalim rastlinskim in živalskim vrstam povzroča raka. Zato je življenje na takem območju za navadne ljudi oteženo. V sedemdesetih se je območje najprej imenovala Rakasta jelša, vendar pa se je tekom let v ljudskih krogih tamkajšnjega prebivalstva ime preoblikovalo v Rakova jelša.
Rakova jelša je edina soseska v Ljubljani z večinskim neslovenskim prebivalstvom. Nastala je s priseljevanjem prebivalstva iz območja nekdanje Jugoslavije od sedemdesetih let dalje. Proces priseljevanja prebivalstva iz nekdanje Jugoslavije v Slovenijo in Ljubljano ter nastajanje etničnih četrti kot je Rakova jelša je zanimivo iz socio-ekonomskega vidika značilnosti prebivalstva. Anketiranje lokalnega prebivalstva razkriva tudi zadovoljstvo s kvaliteto bivalnega okolja a hkrati nakazuje problematiko integracije priseljencev v novo okolje.
Ribarjenje na reki Ljubljanici
Reka Ljubljanica je raj za ribiče! Ob njej uživajo predvsem beličarji in ščukarji, pa tudi ribiči, ki muharijo ciprinide. Rib je veliko, najpogosteje pa ujamemo platnice, rdečeoke, krape, ščuke in velike sulce. Zahtevnejšim ribičem priporočamo uporabo čolna, vendar se zelo lepo lovi kar v središču mesta, v četrti Trnovo, z obrežja, ki ga je zasnoval svetovno znani slovenski arhitekt Jože Plečnik.
- Možnost ribolova klen, krap, linj, lipan, mrena, ostriž, platnica, ploščič, podust, potočna postrv, rdečeoka, rdečeperka, smuč, som, sulec, šarenka, ščuka, zelenika,
- Vrsta ribolova beličarjenje, muharjenje, ribolov iz čolna, talni ribolov, vijačenje,
- Dovoljene vabe beličarske vabe, bojli, briketi, kompostni črv, koruza, kruh, sadje, sir, umetna muha, umetne vabe, vabe rastlinskega izvora, vabe živalskega izvora, vodni mah,
- Tip vode tekoča.
Geolovska avantura se začne pred mostom čez potok Curnovec. Tam lahko parkirajte vozilo in prečkajte most ter se napotite južno, direktno proti Krimu. Na prvem križišču zavijte desno in sledite makadamsko cesto do končnih koordinat, kje vas čaka leteča ribica.
Ribolov lahko izvajate kar s ceste, ki je v večini časa popolnoma prazna. Če vam ni žal vašega avtomobila se lahko z njim pripeljete po slabem makadamu, tudi do same lokacije ribolova.
OPOZORILO: Za uspešen ribolov morate biti opremljeni s primerno ribolovno opremo. Brez tega ne bo šlo, improvizacije na terenu so skoraj nemogoče.
Lepo prosim, da po najdbi vse lepo zložite in vrnete na mesto, kako ste tudi našli.

Ljubljana Marshes – Rakova Jelša - Fishing
The Ljubljana Marshes measure 163 km⊃2; or 0.9% of the Slovenian territory. During annual floods, the flooded area of the area is up to 80 km⊃2;. From a geological point of view, it is a more than 200 m deep Late Pliocene depression from two million years ago, formed at the junction of the Alpine and Dinaric worlds.
Fauna
The Great Cockroach (Numenius arquata) weaves its nest on the ground, in a swampy meadow. When the female hatches eggs, she sits motionless on the nest in the tall grass and relies on her protective paint. At that time, it is fatal for her if she is found by a dog that runs freely through the Marshes. The blackbird is a species of meadow bird and is the only globally endangered species that nests in the Ljubljana Marshes. Ten years ago, another globally endangered species of bird, the southern post-warbler, nested on the marsh, but it is no longer there today. Although the Ljubljana Marshes cover only one percent of the total area of Slovenia, due to the exceptionality of their habitats, up to 20 percent of the population of some species of meadow birds is home to it. Among them, the great shearwater, whose ten pairs on the marsh represent the only permanent Slovenian nesting population, while other species are also represented with a significant share: quail, priba, field lark, reed warbler, marsh reed warbler, and postovka. The Ljubljana Marshes also contain some endangered species of forest birds and marsh birds, a total of 107 species of regular and occasional nesting birds, and at the same time this area is important for wintering and migratory flights of many other bird species. On the Ljubljana Marshes, we can find an endangered moisture-loving population of the marsh okarčko. The latter does not live anywhere else. It is repopulated in Iško morost. About 45 species of mammals live in the wider area of the Ljubljana Marshes, and among the most endangered is the otter, which can occasionally be found along the Ljubljanica and Iščica rivers. An important member of the marsh ecosystem are numerous voles that live exclusively in meadows. The marsh bowl turtle, adapted to the swamp world, has become very rare. Amphibians (green rega, urh, brown and green frogs) and invertebrates are still abundant on the marsh, which is also one of the reasons for the diversity and abundance of birds.
RAKOVA JELŠA / CRAB ALDER
The name Crab Alder comes from the fact that in the mentioned area there is the presence of alder in such quantities that it poisons the soil and therefore causes cancer to other plant and animal species. Therefore, life in such an area is difficult for ordinary people. In the seventies, the area was first called Rakova alder, but over the years in the folk circles of the local population, the name was transformed into Crab Alder. Rakova alder is the only neighbourhood in Ljubljana with a majority non-Slovenian population. It was created by the immigration of the population from the area of the former Yugoslavia from the seventies onwards. The process of immigration of the population from the former Yugoslavia to Slovenia and Ljubljana and the formation of ethnic quarters such as Rakova alder is interesting from the socio-economic point of view of the characteristics of the population. The survey of the local population also reveals satisfaction with the quality of the living environment, but at the same time indicates the problem of integrating immigrants into the new environment.
Fishing on the Ljubljanica River
The Ljubljanica River is a paradise for fishermen! It is mainly enjoyed by whitefish and pikefish, as well as fishermen who fly fish cyprinids. There are plenty of fish, but the most common are shellfish, red-eyed, carp, pike and large sulfish. For more demanding fishermen, we recommend using a boat, but it is very nice to fish right in the center of the city, in the Trnovo district, from the shore, which was designed by the world-famous Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik.
Possibility of fishing for chub, carp, tench, grayling, barbel, perch, shellfish, plaice, podust, brown trout, red-eyed, red-fined, skier, catfish, jellyfish, rainbow trout, pike, greenfinch.
Type of fishing bleaching, fly fishing, boat fishing, ground fishing, spinning. Permitted baits whitefish baits, buoys, briquettes, compost worm, maize, bread, fruit, cheese, artificial fly, artificial baits, baits of plant origin, baits of animal origin, water moss. Type of water liquid.
The geocaching adventure begins in front of the bridge over the Curnovec stream. There you can park your vehicle and cross the bridge and head south, directly towards Krim mountain. At the first intersection, turn right and follow the macadam road to the final coordinates, where a flying fish awaits you.
You can fish from the road, which is completely empty most of the time. If you don't feel sorry for your car, you can drive it on bad macadam road, even to the fishing location itself.
WARNING: For successful fishing, you must be equipped with appropriate fishing equipment. It will not work without this, improvisations in the field are almost impossible.
I kindly ask you to fold everything neatly after finding it and return it to the place you found it.
