Geocache Description:

[ENG] The series of K-J caches are hidden for introducing Kohtla-Järve´s city districts.
 


 

Kohtla-Järve, as the main settlement in the mining area, received city status on 15 June 1946. Kohtla-Järve is unusual among municipalities of Estonia due to having a discontiguous territory. The two main parts of the city, Järve (Kohtla-Järve proper) and Ahtme, both with populations around 20,000, are located about 10 km apart.

SOMPA

Sompa is one of Kohtla-Järve city districts. It was formed in 1948 and added to Kohtla-Järve in 1960. The oil shale mine was in use in 1948-1999.
