Ribnica je gorski potok, ki izvira visoko pod pokljuško planino Konjščica. Večinoma teče po (skoraj) nedostopni globeli. Nad Srednjo vasjo se soteska razširi s koriti in drsnimi slapovi, potok pa se v Zgornjo Bohinjsko dolino prelije preko dveh lepih slapov. Do slapov vodi urejena pot, ob kateri so se pojavile tudi lične klopce. Prvi slap je visok približno 10 m in mu domačini pravijo Nezemljan (poiščite ET-ja, skritega v steni levo ob slapu). Drugi slap je visok okoli 15 m in je dobil zaradi brez posebne domišljije vidnega človeškega obraza v slapišču ime Marlon B(rando).
Dostop: na izhodišču je prostora za 1-2 avtomobila, sicer pa lahko parkirate na nekoliko bolj oddaljenem novem parkirišču Senožeta. Z izhodišča se usmerite navzgor ob potoku. Do prvega slapu boste prišli po približno pol ure hoje. Ob tem je treba večkrat prečkati potok, kar utegne biti ob veliki vodi bolj adrenalinsko kot sredi vročega in suhega poletja. Po obilnem deževju pa je lahko pot celo začasno zaprta. Nad prvi slap je speljan širok kolovoz, od tam pa stezica v nekaj minutah pripelje pred Marlonov obraz.
Zaklad je 350 ml Lock and Lock škatla. V njem so bili ob postavitvi dnevnik, svinčnik, nekaj predmetov za menjavo in neaktivirana sledljiva nagrada za prvega najditelja. Koordinate so izmerjene s povprečenjem, a niso nujno natančne, saj je pas neba v soteski ozek. Za namig vprašajte Marlona. Če bo pogledal proti svoji desni in nekoliko navzgor, bo s kotičkom očesa uzrl veveričjo Bradavičarko z nekaj visokimi stolpi, kjer je zaklad v klasičnem skrivališču. Ob visoki vodi si bo morda treba zmočiti noge.
Če se vam zdi ime zaklada malo čudno, se spomnite na lastnikovo obsedenost s pop-kulturo. 😉

Ribnica is a mountain creek that springs under the mountain pasture Konjščica high on Pokljuka plateau. For the most part, it runs through (almost) inaccessible ravine. Above Srednja vas village, the ravine widens and Ribnica flows into the Upper Bohinj valley over two nice waterfalls. Both are easily accessible in about 30 minutes from the trailhead. Recently, some benches have been placed along the trail. The first waterfall is approximately 10 m high and is called Alien by the locals (try to find ET in the rock left of the waterfall). The second waterfall is approximately 15 m high and is called Marlon B(rando). It's easy to guess why even without much imagination.
Access: there is a place for 1-2 cars at the trailhead, you can also park in the new parking Senožeta a bit farther away. From the trailhead, follow the trail upstream and reach the first waterfall in 30 minutes. You need to cross the creek several times, which could be more adventurous in high water season than during hot and dry summer. After heavy rain, the trail might even be temporarily closed. A wide trail leads above the first waterfall. Once there, a trail along the creek will bring you face to face with Marlon.
The cache is a 350 ml Lock and Lock box. The initial content was logbook, pencil, some exchange items and an unactivated trackable prize for the first to find. The coordinates have been measured with averaging, but the accuracy is limited by the narrow view of the sky. Ask Marlon for a hint. If he looks to his right-hand side and slightly upwards, he can see with the corner of his eye a squirrel Hogwarts with several tall towers. There, you will find a classic hiding place. If the water is high, you might need to wet your feet.
If you find the name of the cache a bit weird, remember the owner's obsession with pop-culture. 😉
