The coordinates lead you to the highest region of Tallinn, to the ridge of Sõjamäe (War Hill), 55 metres above sea level. In 14th century a decisive battle was fought here between the Livonian Order and the Estonian rebels. This massacre took the lives of 3,000 Estonians.
Nowadays there is a memorial park dedicated to St. George’s Night (Jüriöö) uprising. Public transportation is available to reach the park: you can take tram #2 or #4 going to direction "Ülemiste"; or take bus #54 going to direction "Mereakadeemia".
The cache is hidden somewhere in the park. You can choose between two ways to find it.
1st variant:
Find two memorial stones with same date
Near one of them is a sign with number
Add 3 to it and you have coordinate XX
Next you have to find monument with two dates (eight
digits)
Look at the last two digits and you have coordinate YY
The final coordinates are N 59 25’ XX” E 24 49’ YY"
Look for the cache!
2nd variant:
Find an object which was built 654 years after the battle. You
can find an answer by looking for right memorial stone (inscription is in Estonian though, but the answer is quite obvious)
Hopefully, you can see a line (may be difficult in winter). Expand the line to north-east between Pada and Saadjärve and follow it
The cache is hidden about 100 meters from the object
The cache container is small plastic bucket
Please don't post pictures that might lead to the solution of this cache!
