Ympärivuotinen, koko perheen peruspurkki varsin keskeiseti
Imatralla, Imatrankoskella lähellä Valtionhotellia.
Imatra, population some 29.000 decreasing year by year is an
industrial town in South Karelia.
Imatra is dominated by Lake Saimaa, the River Vuoksi and the
Finnish-Russian border. Imatra’s over 300-year-old history of
busy tourism is greatly attributed to the attraction of the
spectacular rapids of the river Vuoksi which have enticed many
illustrious personas to visit the area throughout the ages.
Visitors have included such people as Russian Empress Catherine II,
Alexander Dumas Senior and Richard Wagner.
This happend some hundred years ago. Imatra is even mentioned in
the Kalevala, the epic poem of Finland (compiled from oral poetry
in 1835): "Three, the water-falls in number, Three in number,
inland oceans, Three in number, lofty mountains, Shooting to the
vault of heaven. Hallapyora's near to Yaemen, Katrakoski in
Karyala; Imatra, the falling water, Tumbles, roaring, into
Wuoksi"
The cache it self is a combination of micro & small size cache,
there might be enough space for the smallest geocoins, it's bigger
than a film container but a toy trunk it's not. When it's a small
size it will be logable during every season.
