Geocache Description:


Kääpa jõgi on jõgi Tartu- ja Jõgevamaal. Seda tuntakse ka Alajõena, Välgi, Uhmardu ojana või Saare jõena. Jõgi saab alguse Keressaare rabast ja suubub Kullavere jõkke. Jõe pikkus on 50 km ja valgla pindala 372,5 km⊃2;. Tähtsaim lisajõgi on Haavakivi jõgi. Eesti rahvuseepose "Kalevipoeg" üheteistkümnendas loos jutustatakse, kuidas Kalevipoeg käis Pihkvas laudu toomas. Tulnud läbi Peipsi järve tagasi, heitis vägimees puhkama. Kohalik sorts otsustas Soome sepa taotud mõõga varastada. Salasõnade abil suutis ta mõõga endale kaenla alla kergitada. Põgenedes üle Kääpa jõe, pillas sorts mõõga vette. Kui Kalevipoeg pärast pika otsimise peale mõõga leidis, ei andnud see ennast enam veest kätte - tal oli meeles, kuidas Kalevipoeg tüli käigus Soome sepa vanema poja surmas. Kalevipoeg otsustas mõõga varastanud sortsile needuse peale panna, et mõõk selle jalad murraks. Kuna ta ise oli Soome sepa needuse all, eksis ta sajatades sõnadega. Eepose kahekümnendas loos, peale rasket lahingut, jõudis Kalevipoeg uuesti Kääpa jõe äärde. Jõepõhjas olnud mõõgal tuli meelde varasem sajatus (Kui aga juhtub kõndidessa, Jalakanda pistma jõkke, Kes sind enne isekannud: Siisap, mõõka, sõbrakene, Murra jalad tal mõlemad!) ning ta lõikas vägimehe jalad alt.

Kääpa River is a river in Tartu and Jõgeva County. It is also known as Alajõje, Välgi, Uhmardu stream or Saare river. The river begins in the Keressaare bog and flows into the Kullavere river. The length of the river is 50 km and the catchment area is 372.5 km⊃2;. The most important tributary is the Haavakivi river. In the eleventh story of the Estonian national epic "Kalevipoeg", it is told how Kalevipoeg went to Pihkva to fetch tables. Having returned through Lake Peipsi, the mighty man laid down to rest. A local sort decided to steal a sword requested by a Finnish blacksmith. With the help of secret words, he was able to raise the sword under his arm. Fleeing across the Kääpa River, the sort dropped his sword into the water. When Kalevipoeg found the sword after a long search, it didn't surrender - he remembered how Kalevipoeg killed the older son of a Finnish blacksmith during a quarrel. Kalevipoeg decided to put a curse on the sort who stole the sword so that the sword would break its legs. As he himself was under the curse of the Finnish blacksmith, he lost his words as he rained. In the twentieth story of the epic, after a difficult battle, Kalevipoeg reached the Kääpa river again. The sword at the bottom of the river remembered the previous rain (But if you happen to be walking, Put your foot in the river, Who before you was a pitcher: Sisap, sword, friend, Break both his legs!) and he cut off the strong man's legs.
