Geocache Description:

[ENG] This cache takes you to the Laiksaare nature study trail (2 km) that runs in the riparian forest of the Rannametsa River, with rich vegetation and versatile terrain. The trail aims to introduce riparian forests, which are rare in Estonia, and characteristic bog plant communities. About halfway through the trail you will arrive at the forest hut, which is an excellent place to rest and listen to the singing of birds.


The puzzle is based on the information boards along the trail and does not require any knowledge of Estonian language. Just count letters (K) in the row (10) etc.

Final coordinates:
58° ab,cde' 24° fg,hij’, where

a= humal 10-K
b= kuutõverohi 4-L (=5)
c= metspipar 15-A
d= magesõstar 2-U
e= kuslapuu 12-I
f= näsiniin 10-O
g= ungrukold 6-B
h= jalakas 14-N
i= raudosi 18-A
j= metsosi 5-E

 

[EST] Laiksaare olevat oma nime saanud sellest, et talukohad paiknesid saartena soode ja metsade vahel. Metsa viib ka see aare, et tutvustada üht põnevat metsatüüpi: lammimetsa. 

Umbes 2 km pikkune õpperada algab Laiksaare metskonnahoone juurest ja kulgeb läbi lammimetsa piki Rannametsa jõe kallast. Kõige mõnusam on siin minu meelest jalutada varakevadel - tasub varuda aega linnulaulu kuulamiseks, võtta kaasa pere või sõbrad ja piknikukorv! Nii raja alguses kui onni juures on lõkkekohad. 

Tegu on välimõistatusega, mille lahenduse leiate infotahvlitelt. Et aare oleks ka välismaalastele lahendatav, tuleb lihtsalt lugeda tähti vastavas reas.
