(ENG) MLINARICA TROUGHS
Mlinarica is situated in the uppermost part of river Soca valley. Mlinarica Gorge lies hidden between mountains Prisojnik and Razor. With its snow field supplies stormy brook Mlinarica, which is fettered between rocks of Kukla mountain and is almost unseen when it flows out to Soca river. Brook has excavated one kilometer long and 100 meters deep gorge, which is narrowed in unique water channel, proper troughs, before confluence with the river Soca. The narrowest parts are only one meter wide. In the several places wedged-in rocks form natural bridges. Brook Mlinarica fall is considerable - full 300 meters in just 700 meters length. There are many waterfalls and pools in the inner part of the water channel, accessible only with special equipment.
There is an easy accessible lower part of Mlinarica troughs, just before it's confluence with river Soca, with an observation platform built there. Even from there you can get a hint of what lies behind curves of the narrow gorge, where your sight slides off high overhanging stone walls.
To reache cache just follow signs to KORITA MLINARICE (Mlinarica Troughs). Short trail with footbridge across Soca river will take you to the observation platform in few minutes. Cache is hidden about 1m from the path. For more details look at hint. Replace stones after returning cache into hiding place. Cache box volume is only 0,2 litres, just for small items!

(SI) KORITA MLINARICE
Korita Mlinarice se nahajajo ob čudoviti dolini Trente, ki objema zgornji del reke Soče. Odmaknjena visokogorska krnica Mlinarica leži med Prisojnikom in Razorjem. S svojimi snežišči napaja hudourni potok Mlinarico, ki se vklenjen med skalovje Kukle skoraj neopazno izliva v Sočo. Potok je izdolbel kilometer dolgo in sto metrov globoko sotesko, ki se pred sotočjem s Sočo zoži v edinstvena korita. Najožji deli so široki le okoli enega metra, na več mestih so zagozdene skale, ki tvorijo naravne mostove. Potok Mlinarica ima precejšen padec, kar 300 metrov v 700 metrih dolžine!
V notranjem, brez posebne opreme neprehodnem delu korit, je več slapov, skočnikov in tolmunov. Tik pred izlivom Mlinarice v Sočo je enostavno dostopen zaključek korit, kjer je zgrajena tudi razgledna ploščad. Tam lahko vsaj zaslutimo, kaj se nahaja za ovinki ozke soteske, kjer nam pogled v notranjost hitro zaprejo v nebo dvigajoče skalne stene tesni.
Proti skrivališču vas popelje pot h KORITOM MLINARICE. Sledite označeni poti preko brvi cez Sočo in v nekaj minutah boste pri opazovalni ploščadi. Zaklad je skrit dober meter od poti. Več podrobnosti razkrije namig. Škatlico po vrnitvi v skrivališče ponovno dobro zakrijte. Zaklad je škatlica prostornine 0,2 litra, le za majhne predmete!
