The cache is located near the Ventspils Open Air Museum narrow
gauge railway tracks, which are currently being built. These new
tracks will extend the length of the railway by ~2km.
After logging in, please restore the
camouflage of the cache just as you found it.
Narrow-gauge railway - The rails are 600 m wide, which is
the smallest railway gauge in Latvia. The locomotive was built in
Germany in 1916. Maximum speed: 20 km per hour. The locomotive
arrived in Latvia during the First World War and served on a line
linking Ventspils with the fishing villages to the north: Staldzene
- Jaunupe - Oviši - Lužna - Mikeltornis - Lielirbe -
Sikrags - Mazirbe - Slitere - Aži - Dundaga - Plintiki -
Ciruli - Talsi - Stende. Once a convenient means of transport for
the local population, it served the needs of foresters and
fishermen up to the early sixties. It has been at the museum since
1964, and in recent years is run on Sundays during the summer for
visitors to ride. A 1.4 km long railway line through the Seaside
Park was opened in 1996.
