Geocache Description:

[ENG] Cache is named after Swedish king Carl XII, as it is hidden in the place, where Swedish soldiers were in the camp in the times of Great Northern War. Nearby is a picnic place.

To find the cache find a tree according to this description: The tree is typically a shrub reaching 3–8 m tall, but can reach 15 m. The leaves are deciduous, rounded, 6–12 cm long and across, softly hairy on both surfaces, and with a double-serrate margin. The flowers are produced very early in spring, before the leaves, and are monoecious with single-sex wind-pollinated catkins.It is common in many European woodlands. It is an important component of the hedgerows that were the traditional field boundaries in lowland England. The wood was traditionally grown as coppice, the poles cut being used for wattle-and-daub building and agricultural fencing. The leaves provide food for many animals, the fruit are possibly even more important animal food. [EST] Aare sai oma nime Rootsi kuninga Karl XII järgi, kuna asub Põhjasõjaaegses Rootsi sõjaväe laagrikohas. Aarde peidupaiga läheduses on kaunis puhkekoht koos maaliliste järvekestega. Aarde leidmiseks otsi järgmistele kirjeldustele vastavat puud: Kui on suvi, siis maksab vaadata lehte. Tema lehe kõige laiem koht on teravale tipule väga lähedal ning leht on pehme, noorelt isegi karvane. Noored oksad on samuti sageli karvased. Talvel aga tuleb vaadata pungi. Need on rohekad või harvem punakad, pisut lapikud ning servas väikeste ripsmetaoliste karvadega. Kui puit ära poleerida, jääb ta väga kaunis. Seetõttu kasutatakse teda mööbli tootmiseks, väikeste iluesemete valmistamiseks ja ka kaunist materjali nõudvate viimistlustööde tegemiseks.
