This cache is not accessible by car. Leave your car in Bagnoli Superiore at N45° 37.161 E13° 51.938.
Follow the Rosandra creek in East direction along the Sentiero dell' Amicizia (1) to Botazzo.
At the first part of the trail you have the opportunity to take a bath in the creek.
The track is about 2 km through the karst. Hiking shoes and beverage recommended to carry. The tour is not recommended to children younger than 5 years.
The track is not suited for bicycles.
There is a bike track from Sant' Antonio di Bosco to Botazzo (not tested by myself).
At the first part of the trail you have the opportunity to take a bath in the creek.

You can visit the Church of Santa Maria with a short detour.
When you reached Botazzo search for the border gate and you'll find a pretty rugged cache container and a large log-book there. Please note that trading is not possible and not recommended, you'll see why.
There is even a small Trattoria in Botazzo but it is likely to be closed. The Rifugio Mario Premuda in Bagnoli at the parking coordinates is recommended for local snacks and drinks.

Die Wanderung durch das Rosandratal ist sicherlich eine der schönsten Erinnerungen an den Urlaub in Koper. Der Weg entlang des Berghangs war gut zu laufen und die Aussicht auf das Tal, die Felsen und den Wasserfall waren toll. Die Koordinaten am Final zeigen auf ein altes Steinhaus, das gerade restauriert wird. Nicht weit davon habe ich dann die Cachelocation entdeckt und konnte mich ins Logbuch eintragen. Vielen Dank fürs zeigen dieses abgelegenen Weilers und der Umgebung.

The hike through the Rosandra valley was one of the most memorable things which i experienced on my holidays in Koper. The trail at the mountainside was easy to walk and the views to the valley, the rocks and the waterfall were phantastic. The coordinates at the final point to an old stone house which is under reconstruction. Just not far away i saw the cache location and logged my find. Many thanks for showing me this solitary village and the surrounding.

Found it this winter. It's not an official cache but a logbook for Friendships Path from Italy to Slovenia.
Really wonderful place :)

Trovata per caso quest'inverno. Non è una cache ufficiale ma un logbook per il Sentiero dell'amicizia.
Veramente un posto stupendo :)
