Geocache Description:


Tsõõrikmägi is a single crater – a circular depression surrounded with a barely perceptible rim. The depression is filled with peat. The rim is 38–40 m in diameter, its top is wide (5–10 m) and gently sloping towards its outer side. The peat filling the crater is up to 9500 years old. The depression was formed shortly after the termination of the last glaciation in southern Estonia. All geological features (shape, relocated masses of target deposits, rock characteristics, and deformation of the rim’s setting) suggest the impact origin of the crater.

 

Cache is hidden above the ground and can be found with every weather. Short people may need some assistance.
