Geocache Description:


[ENG] Bog island of Maetsma bog is called Kukelinn (Rooster town). When soldiers were threatening the people of Avinurme, they went to the bog with all the herd. But once in the winter, when bog was frozen, the soldiers got to the refuge and killed all the living creatures. Only one rooster survived and so the bog island was called Rooster town. This legend lives among the folk even nowadays.

To visit Kukelinn, you have to take a little hike, that lasts about 1 h. You can approach from every direction, the difficulty may vary 2-4,5. From some directions you can walk even with dry feet.

 

[EST] Maetsma raba soosaar kannab nime Kukelinn. Kui Avinurme rahvast ohustasid sõdalased, mindi koos kariloomadega sohu. Kuid ükskord, arvatavasti talvel, kui soo oli külmunud, pääsesid sõdalased varjupaika ja tapsid kõik elusolendid. Elama oli jäänud ainult üks kukk, mille järgi hakati seda soosaart nimetama Kukelinnaks. See legend püsib rahva seas veel tänapäevalgi.

Kukelinna külastamiseks tuleb ette võtta pisike 1-tunnine matk. Aardele võib läheneda igast ilmakaarest. Vastavalt sellele on maastiku raskusaste 2 - 4,5. Mõnest kohast saab ka kuiva jalaga.
