ENGLISH:
The cache is hidden near the small church of St. Primoz and Felicijan in the picturesque village of Jamnik. From the church you can enjoy beautiful views of the Karavanke mountain range and the plains of the Gorenjska region below.
Jamnik and its church can be reached from the valley on foot by several trails or it can be almost a drive-in, requiring only a short walk.
For an interesting approach by car, leave the Jesenice-Ljubljana main road near the service station and drive to Lesce. Drive through the little town and at its end, right before Radovljica, follow the signs to Kropa. The local road is well marked.
Kropa itself is worth a stop. It is cauhgt in a narrow glen below the slopes of Jelovica and famous for its iron-forging history. You can visit the iron-forging museum.
In Kropa you cross the stream and follow the winding road to the left which brings you directly do Jamnik.
You can park your car at N 46°16.445 E 014°12.480 and descend a few steps directly to the area of the church.
In the times of the Turkish invasions the exposed strip of ground used to be a signalling station. The church was first mentioned in 1501. The story goes that it was supposed to be built on the other side of the village. But all the building material over night misteriously appeared on the place of today's church.
SLOVENSKO:
Zaklad je skrit blizu male cerkvice sv. Primoza in Felicijana v slikoviti vasici Jamnik. Od cerkve lahko uzivate v cudovitih pogledih na Karavanke in na ravnino pod njimi.
Do Jamnika vodi vec pes poti, ce se pripeljete z avtom, pa boste za hojo porabili le malo casa.
Predlagam dostop z magistralne ceste Jesenice-Ljubljana skozi Lesce in Kropo. Ceste so dobro oznacene.
Sama Kropa je vredna obiska. Je staro zelezarsko naselje ob potoku Kroparica pod pobocjem Jelovice. Obiscete lahko kovaski muzej.
V Kropi preckate potok in vijugasta cesta na levi vas pripelje neposredno do Jamnika.
Parkirate lahko pri N 46°16.445 E 014°12.480 in se po nekaj stopnicah spustite naravnost do pomola, na katerem stoji cerkev.
V casu turskih vpadov je bil pomol, ki je viden po vsej gorenjski ravnini, neutrjena signalna postaja. Cerkev se prvic omenja leta 1501. Po ljudskem pripovedovanju naj bi jo postavili na drugem koncu vasi, vendar se je neke noci ves gradbeni material znasel na mestu, kjer je cerkev danes.
