Geocache Description:


[EST] Tallinn-Tartu-Võru-Luhamaa maantee 262. kilomeetriposti juures on Räpo bussipeatus. Selle lähedal on 1970.aastal avatud mälestuskivi Jaan ja Anfissa Räppole.

Jaan Räppo oli huvitava ja keerulise elukäiguga mees, kes sündis Võrumaal ja elas oma erinevatel eluperioodidel Sri-Lankal, Hiinas, Poolas ja Ukrainas. Räppo oli oluline haridus- ja kultuuritegelane ning mitmete võru- ja setokeelsete rahvalike laulude looja. Muu hulgas peetakse teda kõigile tuntud laulu "Haanja miis vidi lubjakivve" sõnade autoriks. Ta on kirjutanud ka rahvaliku laulu "Katõ ilma veere pääl", millest hiljem on saanud Setomaa hümn.

Ukrainas elades oli Jaan Räppo tuntud ühiskonna-, haridus- ja kultuuritegelane. Jaan Räppo abikaasa Anfissa tõlkis ukraina keelde Eesti rahvuseepose „Kalevipoeg”. 

Konteiner on väike ning sinna mahtusid vaid tilluke logiraamat ja paar väikest pliiatsijuppi.

[ENG]  There is a Räpo bus stop at the 262th kilometer post on the Tallinn-Tartu-Võru-Luhamaa road. Nearby is a memorial stone to Jaan and Anfissa Räppo, opened in 1970.

Jaan Räppo was a man with an interesting and complicated life, who was born in Võru County and lived in Sri Lanka, China, Poland and Ukraine during his various periods of life. Räppo was an important educational and cultural figure and the creator of several folk songs in Võru and Seto language. Among other things, he is considered to be the author of the lyrics to the well-known song "Haanja miis carried limestone". He has also written the folk song "Katõ ilma veere pääl", which later became the anthem of Setomaa.

While living in Ukraine, Jaan Räppo was a well-known social, educational and cultural figure. Jaan Räppo's wife Anfissa translated the Estonian national epic "Kalevipoeg" into Ukrainian. 

The container is small and could only hold a tiny logbook and a few small pencils.
