Geocache Description:


[EST] Mööda seda Neeruti oosi saab ka autoga sõita. Autosõit Neerutis mööda kitsast teed meenutab sõitu mägedes, kus kurvilise teeperve asemel on sügav kuristik. Tegu pole küll Alpidega, aga tasase maa elaniku seiklusjanu leiab ehk siit kandist natuke kustutust. Kõrged nõlvad paistavad kõige paremini silma varakevadel, kui puud pole veel lehte läinud, aga lumi on juba sulanud.

Valgeristi mäe keskosas, seljandiku harjal seisnud 19. saj lõpukümnendil suur palkidest rist. Pärimuste järgi olevat sinna kunagi maetud Rootsi sõjamehi. 1930ndate aastate algul, kui siin teed ehitati, tulnud tööde käigus sellesama künka servast, Pruudi ja Peigmehe kivi lähedalt samuti inimluid välja. Muistendi kohaselt olla just sinna maetud kahe pulmarongi vahelises tapluses surma saanud pruut ja peig.

[ENG] You can also drive by car along this Neeruti esker. Driving a car along the narrow road in Neeruti reminds of a ride in the mountains, where there is a deep abyss next to a curvy road. It's not the Alps, but the adventurous habitant of a flat land finds a bit of thrill here. High slopes stand out best in early spring, when the trees are not yet green, but snow has already melted.

In the middle of the Valgerist hill, a large cross of logs stood in the end of the 19th century. According to legends, Swedish soldiers were buried there. At the beginning of the 1930s, when the road was built, human bone were find here, near rocks of Bride and the Groom. According to the legend, a bride and a groom, who have died in the fight between two wedding processions, have been buried there.
