[EN] The cache is located in renovated
national partisan (known also as “forest brothers”)
dugout approx. 5km from Vietalva village. Currently place is in
quite bad condition because dug's roof collapsed after heavy
snowing in 2010, but local enthusiasts are planning to renovate it
in future.
Cache itself is a small, plastic container containing logbook,
pencil, pencil-sharpener and a postcard from New Riga Theatre play
called “Vectevs”.
The Forest Brothers (also: Brothers of the Forest,Forest Brethren;
Forest Brotherhood; Estonian:metsavennad,Latvian: meža brali,
Lithuanian: miško broliai) were Estonian, Latvian, and
Lithuanian partisans who waged guerrilla warfare against Soviet
rule during the Soviet invasion and occupation of the three Baltic
states during, and after, World War II.Similar anti-Soviet
resistance groups fought against Soviet rule in Poland, Romania and
western Ukraine. In the surroundings of Vietalva active hostilities
were going on during World War II, and the events concerning the
war after its termination also occurred there. A memorial site of
the national partisans is situated in the Veseta flood plan mire
nature reserve. In the years after the WWII so called “Parupa
group” acted there, led by Rihards Parups. The names of the
persons killed due to the betrayal in summer 1946 are written on
the white cross opposite to the entrance of the dugout. More
information on national partisans available at Wikipedia.
It is possible to reach the cache using the forest roads and trails
from W/NW/N side. The road quality depends very much on weather and
season. During the winter some forest roads can not be accessible
by car. Please be careful and check the road conditions before you
decide to use them! In winter it is possible to use cross-country
ski track which is nearby, then you should start your trip from
Mailes ski center. According to cache logs from the end of 2010
access is also available using boardwalk which crosses the mire and
allows to reach cache location from E side.
As this is the nature reserve you are not allowed step-off the
trail and cross mire off-track from E side!
In the territory of the nature reserve, please, take into
consideration:
- Do not pick plants! It takes many years for the gorgeous mire
orchids to blossom from the small seeds!
- Do not step off the trail on the mire – the transition mire
and spring fen vegetation are very sensitive habitats, do not
trample them!
- Do not make a fire!
- Take care of the beaver dwellings – the beavers are the
best regulators of the hydrological conditions in the nature!

The name and location of the cache are inspired by New Riga Theater
play called “Vectevs”. This is one-actor (Vilis
Daudzins) play about three real soldiers experience during World
War II. Stories are different - one of them joined Latvian Legion
(formation of Waffen-SS), the other - Red Army and the third
managed to be on the both sides. Currently there are still many
people living in Latvia who probably were fighting against each
other during WW II. Even same family members.

Otra pasaules kara laikaa Vietalvas apkartne risinajas aktiva kara

Slepnim iespejams pieklut no Z/ZR/R puses izmantojot esošo
taku un celu tiklu. Celu stavoklis liela mera atkarigs no laika
apstakliem un gadalaika. Ziemas laika meža celi var nebut
viegli izbraucami - apstaklus izvertejiet paši pec
situacijas un izmantojama transporta lidzekla. Aktivas atputas
cienitajiem ziema iesaku slepot no slepošanas bazes Mailes
(slepošanas trašu shema atrodas stadiona galaa).
Ziemaa distancu slepošanas baze Mailes piedava vienu no
skarbakajam distancu slepošanas trasem Latvija, vasaraa celi
un takas ir piemerotas velo izbraucieniem. No slepnotaju log-iem
var spriest, ka 2010.g. beigas tika paibeigta purva laipa, kura
atlauj sasniegt slepni ari no DA/A puses.
Atrodoties dabas liegumaa:
- Nepluc augus! Lai uzziedetu kada no krašnajam orhidejam
purva,no seklas lidz ziedešanai ir japaiet daudziem
gadiem!
- Nenovirzies no laipas vai takas – purvs un avoksnaji ir
loti jutigi biotopi, neizbrada tos!
- Nekurini ugunskurus!
- Saudze bebru mitnes – bebri ir labakie mitruma apstaklu
regulatori daba.

padarot izradi unikalu Latvijas teatra dzive, jo lauj pašam
skatitajam izlemt, ko domat, kam ticet.
