Geocache Description:

Pako je zaselek, poznan predvsem po Paškem mostu in cerkvi sv. Nikolaja oz. Miklavža. Ob njej je v casu bistriškega samostana potekala vzhodna meja ozemlja kartuzije.

Pako is a village known for it's church of Saint Niklas and for old not used anymore railway which was going all the way from Vienna to Trieste built in first half of 19th century.

Naselje od glavne ceste in barjanskih polj locuje visok nasip nove železniške proge Ljubljana-Koper, nad njim pa je še dobro vidna trasa stare. Ohranjen, a zelo poškodovan, je še Paški most, eden izmed petih pomembnejših železniških premostitev Borovniške kotline. Ima tri loke, sezidan pa je iz kamenja in opeke.

Ime Pako listine iz samostana Bistra omenjajo kot »villa Pach« že leta 1300, vašcanom pa pravijo tudi faškarji. Ime naj bi nastalo iz latinske besede fascis, ki pomeni sveženj, snop oz. butaro. Te naj bi domacini prodajali in vozili ljubljanskim pekom ter se tako preživljali. Druga teorija pravi, da so faške oz. butare delali furlanski zidarji, ki so gradili Borovniški viadukt. V apnenicah so žgali apno in z butaricami kurili peci.

Nad vasjo je hrib Prevek. Tu so našli kamnito kladivo iz serpetinaste brece, severno od vasi pa je kraški izvir Na zvirku.

Blizu Pakega se nahaja zaselek Breg, kjer je gasilski dom in tudi sedež Prostovoljnega gasilskega društva Breg-Pako.

Zelo toplo vam priporocam da nadaljujete sprehod po bivši progi (2 km) vse do stare cuvajnice z zanimivo trimestno številko (evil) in nato še do razpadlih bunkerjev, koder je po "taglavnem" viaduktu železnica nadaljevala pot proti Verdu. Ce želite obiskati še cuvajnico ostanite na istem nivoju kot je most, torej se ne sušcate in ne vzpenjate po poti v smeri proti Borovnici. Pot do cuvajnice je v glavnem pešcene le ob hišah je asfaltirana.

------------------------------------------
Pako bridge is one of the three bridges in Borovnica. It's quite damaged and closed for traffic. It's safe to cross it with bicycle and it's also very safe to take walk with children.

I recommend you to see also more infrastructure of old railway. You can walk for 2 kilometers and visit old guardhouse with devils most beloved number. and approx. 200 meters away railway left Borovnica with huge viadukt in direction of Verd. To reach it you have to stay on same level of the path as is the bridge . Guardhouse is in direction to Borovnica. Path is mostly gravel but when you are passing houses there is asphalt.
