Geocache Description:

Sumy1 - Kiosk in the Park
The very first geocache placed in Sumy, Ukraine
 A 35mm film canister

Please take a pen/pencil to sign the log.

The city of Sumy (pronounced Soo-Mee), in Ukraine was founded in 1652 at the bank of the Psel River (a left tributary of the Dnieper) as a Cossack fortress. It was intended to protect Sloboda Ukraine from the Crimean Tatar attacks. After their attacks discontinued and the territory was incorporated into the Russian Empire, Sumy evolved into an important economical centre. During the German occupation of Ukraine during World War II (1941 - 1943), Sumy sustained heavy damage. The war over, destroyed parts of the city were rebuilt anew. Since January 17, 1990, Sumy is a twin town of Celle in Germany
The name of the town Sumy (sounds like old-Russian word "bags") comes from the name of the river Sumka, which flows in the central part of the city. However there is a legend, according to which the first settlers found bags with money not far from that place and it was suggested them as the name of the future city.

  It is possible to see this emblem on the cast-iron poles, ornamental fences and on hatches in the old part of the city.

In 1781 Russian queen Katherine the Great approved the emblem of the city, where three bags on the escutcheon were represented. It is possible to see this emblem on the cast-iron poles, ornamental fences and on hatches in the old part of the city.

The park is located close to the newly built Sumy football stadium and the Psel River there are also a number of attractions especially for children.

While you’re in the area, have a go at GC1XV82 which is close by.
