Amazzony: Aeg sellele aardele rist peale tõmmata ja lasta ajalukku vajuda... Ehk on kellelgi, kes aktiivsem mängija, soov sinna midagi põnevat peita. Aitäh kõigile otsijatele, leidjatele, logijatele ja hooldajatele! Arvestades asukohta, elas aare ilusa elu, peaaegu 10 aastat :)

Time to cross out this cache and let it slip into history... Maybe somebody, who is more active, wishes to hide a new cache there. Thank you for searching it, finding it, logging and taking care of it! Considering the location of the hiding place, it lived a beautiful live, almost 10 years :)

Geocache Description:

[ENG] The history of this place and legend is well summarised in English and Estonian on the information board. The text is provided below for your interest. You are welcome to post a picture of the cross you have made or any other you picked.

"Here, on the former border of Reigi and Pühalepa parishes, a departure service was held on 20 August 1781 by the Swedes who were to leave Hiiumaa. Czarina Katarina II gave an order to resettle the Swedes to the south of Ukraine and the owner of Kõrgessaare estate Stenbock expelled free Swedish peasants from their farms. About 1000 people started a bitter journey on the eve of winter and erected their first cross here. About half of them reached their destination in spring and established Gammalsvenskby village. Only on 1929, the government of the Soviet Russia allowed the Swedes to move to Sweden. Most of the them landed in Gotland where Roma became their centre.
Everybody who visit this place may make a cross in memory of the Swedes of Hiiumaa. The cross should be made of local natural material without damaging nature. The person who makes a cross this way is believed to have good luck in the future. According to a legend, two wedding parties met on the narrow road of Ristimägi. Neither of them agreed to give the way. The bridegroom of one couple and the bride of the other perished in the fight that broke out between the parties. The surviving bride and bridegroom were said to have got married later and to have lived happily ever after. Single people may find a partner and get married if they put up a cross in memory of those who were killed in the fight."

[EST] Täname katsulas (Caro) tõlke eest!
Selle koha ajalugu ning legendid on kenasti infotahvlil üles tähendatud nii inglise kui eesti keeles. Allpool esitatud tekst on mõeldud kõigile huvilistele. Palun postitage ka pilte enda tehtud või mõnest teisest ristist, teie vabal valikul.

"Siin, Reigi ja Pühalepa kihelkonna kunagisel piiril, pidasid 20. aug. 1781 oma lahkumisjumalateenistuse Hiiumaalt väljarändavad rootslased. Katariina II andis ukaasi rootslaste ümberasustamiseks Lõuna-Ukrainasse ja Kõrgessasre mõisa omanik Stenbock ajas vabad Rootsi talupojad kohtadelt välja. Nii alustas umbes tuhat hinge enne talve oma rasket teekonda ja panid siin püsti estimese risti. Kevadel jõudsid rannarootslastest sihtkohta umbes pooled, kes rajasid Gammalsvenskby asula. Alles 1929. a. lubas Vene valitsus rootslastel lahkuda Rootsimaale. Enamus randus Gotlandil, kus Romas on nende keskus.
Kõik, kes siin paigas peatuvad, võivad teha risti rannarootslaste mälestuseks.
Rist tuleks teha kohalikust materjalist, kahjustamata loodust. Sel kombel olevat kindlustatud risti tegija tulevane õnn. Legend pajatab, et siin sattunud kord kitsal teel vastamisi kaks pulmaseltskonda, kumbki polnud aga nõus teisele teed andma. Puhkenud kähmluses saanud ühest noorpaarist surma peig, teisest pruut. Ellujäänud pruut ja peig aga abiellunud hiljem omavahel ja elanud terve elu õnnelikult. Vallalistel on lootus peagi jõuda abielusadamasse, kui nad püstitavad neil ammustel aegadel elanud inimeste eeskujul võitluses hukkasaanute mälestuseks risti."
