Geocache Description:


[EST] Aare juhatab otsija Laukasoos peituvale 2 hektari suurusele Pähklisaarele, mida katavad peamiselt 110. aastased haavad ja kuused. Juba 13. sajandist saati on Pähklisaar olnud kohalikele pelgupaigaks kuhu võeti kaasa ka loomi. Nimi Pähklisaar olevat pärit mõisaajast, kui siin kasvas arvukalt sarapuid. Laukasoo rabas kasvab rohkelt jõhvikaid- esimese Eesti Vabariigi aegu korjati neid siit suurtes kogustes ning osa saagist viidi Tatu turule. Mõningatel päevadel olla rabas olnud korraga enam kui 150 korilast! Aardes on pliiats. Peale leidmist ja logimist palun veenduge, et aare saaks korralikult suletud ja taastage aarde maskeering ning kohelge peidukohta õrnalt!

Kummikud jalga ja head jahti!

Laukasood mainiv Postimehe artikkel aastas 1933 (lõik „Marjad anuawad lisasissetulekuid“)

[ENG] This cache takes you to a bog island called Pähklisaar located in the Laukasoo bog. The 2-hectare island is mainly covered by 110-year-old aspens and spruces. Pähklisaar has been one of the refuge sites from wars for the locals and their animals since the 13th century. Presumably, the name Pähklisaar (direct translation: nut island) was given to the island during the manor times when a lot of hazels used to grow there. Laukasoo bog is saturated with cranberries, and during the first Estonian Republic, lots of it were picked and taken to the Tartu market. Back then it was estimated that on some days there were more than 150 berry pickers in the bog! There is a pencil in the cache. After finding and logging the cache, please ensure that it is securely shut and restore the camouflage and treat the hiding place with care!

Happy hunting and don't forget your wellingtons!
