Geocache Description:


Who is St. Urho, Finland's savior?

The legend of St. Urho is strange, how come almost no finns celebrate their savior? I have made a mystery cache to raise a little awareness of our hero, and at the same time get more people to visit this wonderful place.

  • A = How many days before St. Patricks day is St. Urhos day celebrated?
  • B = St. Urho chased away something from Finland. Was it Wolfs (1), Grasshoppers (2), Russians (3)?
  • C = The intruders that he chased away did destroy/kill something. Was it Grapes (5), Sheeps (3), Buildings (7)?
  • D = Two towns in Minnesota have raised a statue of St. Urho. Which town has NOT raised a statue of St. Urho? Menahga (5), Finland (8), Wolf Lake (2)
  • E =Two symbolic colors is used when celebrating St. Urho. Which color is NOT one of the symbolic colors Purple (3), Green (5), Blue (0).
  • F =Along the hiking trail "Herrgårdsleden" you can find some information boards. One of them is a virtual stage (look at waypoints) for this geocache. There is written something in latin on it. How many letters is it in the first latin word?
  • G = Near the information board you will see a barbecue hut. Count the windows on it (not the window on the door). How many of the windows is possible to open?
