Geocache Description:

[ENG] Aksi (also known as Väike-Prangli (Little Prangli) or Äksi) (Swedish: Lilla Wrangelsö) is an Estonian island in the Gulf of Finland with an area of 59 hectars.

Aksi is a part of the Prangli landscape protection area. No moving restrictions. The island's northern end is stony, its southern end is sandy and covered with junipers and birches. Aksi was inhabited from 1790 to 1953, when the last inhabitants were forced to leave by the Soviet border guard. Many had fled already in 1944, mainly to Sweden. There is a lighthouse which was built in 1986. Aksi has been a home for boatbuilders family of Aksberg. Aksi craftsmen work - fishing boats and especially motorboats were well known among 20. century fishermen. 
Not far from the cache, there is a fireplace. No need for digging.

[EST] Aksi on olnud ajalooliselt paadiehitajate suurpere Aksbergide kodusaareks. Aksi paadimeistrite paadid ja kalapaadid, eriti mootorpaadid, olid 20. sajandil hästi tuntud ja hinnatud randlaste hulgas. Saarel võb kohata mägiveiseid, lambaid ja merelinde.
Aare asub Prangli maastikukaitsealal, kus liikumispiiranguid pole. Mitte kaugel aardest asub ka lõkkekoht. Leidmiseks maad kaevata pole vaja.
