Tegelikult on Paide linnuse ja linna algne nimi Wittenstein, mis alamsaksa keeles tähendab „valge kivi“. Nimi pärines ordulinnuse ehitamiseks kasutatud paekivilt. Ülemsaksakeelne Weissenstein tuli kasutusele 17. sajandil. 19. sajandi kirikudokumentides on kasutatud nii Paede kui ka Paide nimekuju. Tõenäoliselt tuleb ka linna eestikeelne nimi paekivist.
Seega, Paide on paekivilinn ning 1996.-st aastast kuni 2011. aastani peeti seal Paide Paepäevasid. Kunstnikele anti ette looduslik töötlemata paekivi, millest kohapeal tulnud idee järgi kunstiteos vormiti. Nende paepäevade käigus on valmistatud ligi 100 paeskulptuuri, mis kaunistavad lisaks Paide linnale ka maakonna teisi omavalitsusi.
Aarde logimiseks otsi üles neist vähemalt 3 ja tee pilt, millel oleksid nii skulptuur kui ka kas sina ise või sinu kasutajanimi. Valik on sinu, kus seda ülesannet täidad. Kas alustad geopeituritele juba tuttava Hääletajaga, suundud Arvo Pärdi sünnikodu tähistavasse muusikaaeda, teed tiiru Vallimäel või vaatad linnas ringi. Valik on avar.

Nulli saad parkida oma geomobiili ning ringkäiku alustada, kõik on käe-jala juures.
ENG:
Wittenstein is the original name of the town and castle of Paide. The word in Lower German language means “white stone” and derives from limestone that was used to build the castle of the order. Upper German word Weissenstein came into use in the 17th century. Both names, Paede and Paide have been used in church documents. Most probably the Estonian name as well comes from limestone = paekivi. So, Paide is the city of Limestone and between 1996 - 2011 Limestone Days were held there. Sculptors were given a block of natural unprocessed limestone that was carved into pieces of art on the spot. During those festivals almost 100 limestone sculptures were created, they decorate Paide and neighbouring municipalities.
To log this cache you have to find at least 3 of the sculptures and take a picture with them with your username attached. The choice to perform this task is yours. If you start with the Hitchhiker (known to geoplayers), you can go to the music garden marking Arvo Pärt’s birthplace, walk around Vallimägi or explore the town. Choices are vast.
