Geocache Description:

Ljubljana natural fountain water freshens you up in summer - drink, put it in a bottle or cool your face.

ENG: Ljubljana is one of the few European capitals with a privilege of having natural drinking water without prior treatment. The public drinking fountains are not just a decorative adornment to the city, but a reminder that we drink good water in Ljubljana.

Since 2008 a number of drinking fountains were installed in Ljubljana. Residents and visitors can find them in the centre and on the green outskirts of the city. The drinking water from the fountains flows from Ljubljana's central water supply system, and its quality is regularly tested. Water from the fountains is safe to drink.

Public drinking fountains are available from spring till October. The following website carries an up-to-date list of fountains, and the latest laboratory test results (in Slovenian language).

Geocache is the size of a hand (palm). Please use PENCIL or a water-resistant pen for logging. Align carefully when returning to its place.

NOTE: The printed sticker just below the water faucet/tap stating the water is drinkable is NOT the cache, please do not damage that sticker!

For accurate details on location see OpenStreetMap maps. Coordinates are fairly accurate, but GPS reception is not at its best.


SLO: Ljubljana je med redkimi prestolnicami v Evropi, ki se lahko pohvali s privilegijem tehnološko neobdelane vode v javnem vodovodnem sistemu. Javni pitniki niso le dekorativni element mestne arhitekture, ampak nas tudi opominjajo, da v Ljubljani pijemo dobro vodo.

Po letu 2008 so v Ljubljani postavili številne pitnike. Ljubljančani in obiskovalci mesta jih najdejo v centru in na zelenem mestnem obrobju. Pitna voda v pitnike doteka iz osrednjega vodovodnega sistema Ljubljane, njeno kakovost pa se periodično nadzoruje. Uporaba vode iz pitnikov je varna.

Javni pitniki v Ljubljani so na voljo od pomladi do oktobra. Tule najdete njihove lokacije in zadnja poročila o preskusih pitne vode.

Geocache je velik za dlan. Prosim pišite s SVINČNIKOM ali z vodoodpornim pisalom. Bodite natančni pri vračanju na svoje mesto.

POZOR: Tiskana nalepka tik pod pipo, ki označuje, da je voda pitna, NI kešek, prosimo, da je ne poškodujete!

O podrobnostih lokacije si lahko pomagate z zemljevidom OpenStreetMap. Koordinate so kar točne, sprejem GPS pa ni najboljši.
