Geocache Description:

EST: Lapsepõlves eksisteeris minu jaoks "Elva taevaskoda" ja siis kusagil kaugemal "see teine" Taevaskoda. Kuna aga ilmselt paljud ei teagi sellisest kohast, väärib see kindlasti aardega tähistamist.

ENG: For me, as a child, this was the "real" Taevaskoda; i.e. probably the most known sandstone outcrop in Estonia. As many people probably have no idea this place exists, it seems like a great place to store a cache.


EST:

Aare asub Elva-Vitipalu maastikukaitsealal Elva jõe ürgoru liivapaljandi vahetus läheduses. Samuti on paljandi kohal täisvarustuses lõkke- ja piknikukoht ning sellest möödub kolm matkarada. Soovi korral leiate täpsemat teavet lisatud veebilingilt.

Aare on peidetud traditsioonilisel viisil 0,45 l plastkarpi, milles leidub GP juhend, logiraamat, pliiats, teritaja ja vahetusnänn. Karp on omakorda mässitud musta kilekotti.

Maastik on järsu nõlva tõttu üsna keerukas. Eriti ettevaatlik tasub olla pimedas ja/või libedates oludes (nagu peitmise ajal :)). Koordinaadi määramisel tekkis väike (~15 m) vastuolu Google'i ja Maa-ameti kaartide vahel, nii et võtsin nende koordinaatide keskmise. Palun niisiis arvestada, et tegu pole ülitäpse näiduga.

NB! Palun vältige erosiooni tekitamist: ärge ronige paljanditel! Aare on leitav peaaegu täiesti jälgi jätmata.

Meeldivat otsimist ja leidmist! :)

ENG:

The cache is hidden in Elva-Vitipalu landscape reserve near Elva river old valley's sandstone outcrop. There are also firemaking and picnic facilities near the cache plus three hiking trails passing close by. More information can be found in the added webpage link (Estonian).

It is a traditionally hidden cache in a 0.45 L plastic box, including GC manual, logbook, pen, sharpener and exchange widgets. The box is wrapped in black plastic bag.

The terrain is quite tough due to the steep hill. Special care must be taken when searching in dark and/or slippery conditions. The coordinate accuracy should be about +-10 m, so please be aware that it might not be 100% spot-on.

Please note! Avoid causing excessive erosion: Do not climb on the outcrops! The cache can be found (almost) without leaving any tracks.

Have a nice search and find! :)
