[EST] Nullis on Aarniku metsavendade punkri asukoht jai ajalooline maamärk. Seal aaret ei ole, kuid leiab lõpp-punkti koordinaadid, kus aare asub.
Autoga tulles ära kasuta Ahja-Rasina teelõiku vaid otsi üles vahepunktis märgitud teealgus-punkt Ahja-Mooste vahelisel maanteelõigul (allpool tekstis märgitud põhjustel).
Metsavennad olid relvastatud vastupanuvõitlejad, kes Teise maailmasõja ajal ja ka hiljem võitlesid Nõukogude sissetungi ja kolme Balti riigi okupatsiooni ajal Nõukogude võimu vastu.
Aarniku on Põlva maakonnas Kadaja külas paiknev liivane männimetsaala, kus mitme kilomeetrisel alal asuvad arvukad Aarniku muinaskalmed.
Lõpp-punktis asub Aarniku ajalooline veski. Veski ehitati 1870. aastal. Jahuveski asus elumaja ja saeveski vahel. Saeveski oli hoone kõige suurem osa. Jahu- ja saeveski hooned lammutati 1957-59 aastate paiku. Sovhoosi direktorile anti Põlva partei komiteest käsk veski maha lammutada, sest Lutsu jõe äärsetel aladel asusid kolhoosid, mis vajasid põllumajandamiseks maad. Veski tõttu olid need alad üle ujutatud, ning see oli lammutamiseks väidetav põhjus.
Aarde asukohas ehitasid Kaitseväe pioneerid 2016. aasta kevadel õppuse Kevadtorm käigus üle Lutsu jõe uue silla. Paraku otsustas üks hoolimatu metsaveoauto juht oma palgikoormaga üle puítsilla põrutada ja nii on hetkel jõeületus võimalik vaid jalgsi või jalgrattal
Aarniku veskist on valminud kolmemõõtmeline virtuaalne mudel, mille abil saab tutvuda veski kunagise välisilme ja ruumipaigutusega. Vt linki allpool © Emma Tuvike

[ENG] Forest brother and miller
In zero, the location of the bunker of the Aarnik forest brothers is a historical landmark. There is no cache there, but the coordinates of the end point where the cache is located.
When coming by car, do not use the Ahja-Rasina road section, but look for the starting point marked at the intermediate point on the road section between Ahja-Mooste (for the reasons stated in the text below).
Forest brothers were armed resistance fighters who fought against Soviet power during the Second World War and later during the Soviet invasion and occupation of the three Baltic states.
Aarniku is a sandy pine forest area located in the village of Kadaja in Põlva county, where numerous ancient Aarniku graves are located in an area of several kilometers.
At the end point is the historical mill of Aarnik. The mill was built in 1870. The flour mill was located between the dwelling house and the sawmill. The sawmill was the largest part of the building. The flour and sawmill buildings were demolished around 1957-59. The director of the state farm was ordered by the Põlva party committee to demolish the mill, because there were collective farms in the areas along the Lutsu river that needed land for farming. Due to the mill, these areas were flooded, and this was the alleged reason for the demolition.
At the location of the cache, the pioneers of the Defense Forces built a new bridge over the Lutsu river in the spring of 2016 during the Kevadtorm exercise. Unfortunately, one reckless forest truck driver decided to crash over the wooden bridge with his load of logs, and so the river crossing is currently only possible on foot or by bicycle
A three-dimensional virtual model of the Aarnik mill has been completed, with the help of which you can familiarize yourself with the former appearance and spatial layout of the mill. See link below © Emma Tuvike
