Geocache Description:


Image The cache is located in Ekaterinburg in the Urals region of Russia. The park was first developed in the late 1820s by Peter Kharitonov as a private park adjoining the Rastorguev estate on Ascension Hill. Kharitonov had married Maria Rastorgueva in 1816, and the Kharitonov and Rastorgueva families both were prominent owners of metal-working factories in the Urals. After 1836, the land reverted to the city, which opened it as the first major public park in Ekaterinburg. A wide variety of trees and other plants were brought to the park over a period of many years. At the center of the park was a rotunda, from which extended two alleys set with fir and linden trees, shown here in early fall colors. In the background is the bell tower of the Church of the Ascension, completed in the late 18thcentury and still one of the largest in the city. There are many people came here and got married leaving a ribbon or a lock for the future hapiness of their family. Be careful looking for the cache, the stones could be wet.
