Geocache Description:

Container is a plastic box, hidden next to limestone (doline) caves, about 15 cm from the ground.

It is the largest group of (doline) caves in Estonia. This place is first mentioned already at year 1220 by Chronicle of Henry of Livonia: "Livonians received a large booty because they tracked down underground caves of locals. By making fire in front of the caves they suffocated everybody who was hidden inside and took all their belongings".

The logbook is somewhat retro (at least for Estonians), please use a full section (this is about 8 lines) for your report.

[EST] Eesti kõige arvukam koobaste rühm Iida Urked asuvad Raplamaal Kuimetsa karstiväljal. Neid koopaid on mainitud juba Henriku Liivimaa kroonikas - "Väga suur oli aga liivlaste röövsaak, kes harjulaste maa-alused koopad, kuhu need olid harjunud alati pelgu minema, sisse piirates ning tehes suitsu ja tuld koobaste suus, suitsutades öösel ja päeval, lämmatasid kõik, nii mehed kui naised.".

Aare asub koobaste juures, u 15 cm maapinnast. Auto pargi parklasse. Konteinerisse lisasime veidi nostalgiahõngulise logiraamatu koos geopeituse tutvustusega ja kolm mänguasja.
