Geocache Description:

[FIN] Perinteinen geokätkö

[ENG] Traditional geocache

 


[FIN] Varejoen tervanpolttouuni (myös kutsuttu tervatrötöksi) sijaitsee Varejoen länsirinteellä. Varmaa tietoa uunin valmistamisajankohdasta tai valmistajasta ei ole. Kyläläiset kertovat uunin olleen rakennettu 1800-luvun alussa. Kerrotaan, että kyseinen uuni olisi ollut piilopaikka pontikankeittäjille sekä yöpaikka väsyneille matkamiehille.

Kätkölle johtaa pieni polku. Polku voi olla liukas etenkin syksyisin, joten olethan varovainen. Kätkörasia on kooltaan noin 3dl

[ENG] The tar burning oven of Varejoki (also known as tervatröttö) is located at west bank of the Varejoki river. Nobody knows for sure who build the oven or when the oven was built. The villagers of Varejoeki have speculated that the oven was build somewhere in 19th century. It is told, that the oven was used as a moonshine stash and sleep place for tired wayfarers.

A small path leads to the cache. The path might be slippery especially autumn, so be careful. The cache container is approximately sized 3dl
