Geocache Description:

[ENG] Luigetiik is the most known pond in Kadrioru park. It was built in 1740. 

Swan pond has been grown over several times. In 1930s the Swan Pond square was changed into a green plot with cross-shaped layout; a rotunda with columns (designer: V. Seidra) was built on the island in the middle of the pond. In 2006 the pond was renovated. Construction of new fountains, paths, squares, drainage and outdoor lighting; greenery was planted around the Pond, and park benches and rubbish bins were installed; construction of a water regulator was assembled for the Pond.
There are swans living in the pond. In 2012 one of the swans died, because visitors are feeding the birds in despite of the signs and one of the swans had eaten candies and chocolate, which is not good for them.
In 2013 two black swans were brought to the pond, who will remain there until the end of september. Last time there were black swans in the pond in 1930s.
P.S It would be especially nice, if you would add photos about the pond or their habitants to your logs.

[EST] Luigetiik on Tallinnas Kadrioru pargi tuntuim tiik. Tiik rajati 1740. aastal. Luigetiik on mitmeid kordi umbe kasvanud. 1930ndatel rajati tiigi juurde päikesekella väljak ja tiigi keskel olevale saarekesele kõlakoda ning tiik sai paekaldad ja purskkaevud. 2006. aastal toimusid tiigi renoveerimistööd: paigaldati neli uut millimallikakujulist purskkaevu, puust ülevool asendati uue roostevabast metallist ülevooluga, mis juhib üleliigse vee Ülemiste voolukollektorisse ning sealt merre, korrastati paekaldaid. Kadrioru pargi direktori Ain Järve sõnul on Luigetiigi vesi 105 protsenti puhas ja seda tõestab ka lepamaimude olemasolu tiigis. Vett hoiavad puhtana kuuskvetikad, ilma nendeta oleks tiik ühtlaselt roheline nagu Snelli tiik. Tiigis elavad veel luigepaar, karpkalad ja seal käivad pardid ja kajakad. 2012. aastal suri üks luikedest, kuna pargi külastajad toidavad linde hoolimata keelavatest siltidest ja loomaiatöötaja sõnul oli luik söönud kommi ja šokolaadi, mis on luigele ebasobiv toit.

Kadrioru park tõi 2013 a. mail Luigetiigile kaks musta luike, kes jäävad tiigile septembri lõpuni. Viimati olid mustad luiged Kadrioru Luigetiigil 1930. Aastatel

PS! Eriti kena oleks kui teie logides oleksid pildid tiigist või tiigi elanikest.
