Raunistula Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Jussup: Tilapäiseksi tarkoitettu hyllytys on nyt venähtänyt jo yli vuoden mittaiseksi. Paikkoja olen käynyt uuden "purkin" kanssa muutamaankin kertaan katselemassa, mutta mitään sopivaa kätköpaikkaa ei ole löytynyt. Jotain muuta on aina liian lähellä. Alkuperäinen paikka ei enää tule kyseeseen ja muuallakin alueella on vielä remontit käynnissä. Ehkä tämän on aika mennä.

Raskain mielin arkistoin tämän. Kiitokset kaikille kävijöille ja kiitokset alkuperäiselle kätköttäjälle Varvikellolle.

Geocache Description:

An urban large in Raunistula suburb.

This cache introduces to you the notorius Raunistula. Raunistula was part of Maaria commune until 1944 when it was connected to city of Turku. Lots of workers lived in Raunistula though they worked in Turku. Poor circumstances created side effects, such as drinking and bootlegging, prostitution and counterfeiting money. Authorities tried to put Raunistula in order with no success.

Today Raunistula is quite peacefull neighborhood but still very unique. If you have some time, get yourself to the hill via those little streets. Old houses up there are quite nice. From the cache you can see former Hankkija mill, biggest of a kind in Finland, which produced animal feed. Paperworkers in Finland were on a strike at 2005 and recycled paper was stored in the old mill. Guess what happened? Mill burned partly.

Note: When you find this, you will see just the outer casing, don't try to tear it off, it contains the actual cachebox.
