The search takes you to the edge of Pirita river. Bring good footwear, time, family, dog, ski, bike or picnic.
You can park your car for example at Kloostrimetsa tee (N 59° 28,064 E 024° 50,717) or use Bus 34A, 38, 49.
ENG:
Pirita river is one of the largest rivers in Harju county. The river’s source is located in Pususoo bog in Järva county, about 20 km northwest of Paide. The length adds up to 105 km. In Tallinn’s Pirita district it flows into Tallinn Bay and finally the Gulf of Finnland. The river’s basin covers 799 m2. It declines 75 m, its average runoff is 7.8 m3/sec.
Kuivajõgi and Tuhala jõgi are its two feeder rivers. The second one flows partly underground. Through a passage, water from Pirita river also flows into Ülemiste lake, the most important clear-water reservoir for the Estonian capital. This last part of the river near the Pirita monastry is a landscape protection area.
EST:
Pirita jõgi on 105 kilomeetri pikkune jõgi, mis algab umbes 20 km Paidest loode pool Pususoos ja suubub Tallinnas Pirital Tallinna lahte.
Vasakpoolsed lisajõed Kuivajõgi ja Tuhala ehk Kata jõgi voolavad kohati salajõgedena maa all. Vaskjala paisu juurest algava kanali kaudu voolab osa Pirita jõe vett Ülemiste järve, ning kulub Tallinna joogiveega varustamiseks. Alamjooksul on jõe org maastikukaitseala. Teisi kaitsealasid jõe kallastel: Ravila mõisa park, Kämbla looduskaitseala, Kose-Uuemõisa mõisa park, Laukesoo looduskaitseala. Jõel on ka kaitsealuste liikide hink ja võldas leiukohti.
25.12.2012 Note for the winter time:
This cache is a "ski-in" during the white season. You can come with your own skis, starting at the given car park. At Pirita spordikeskus you can rent cross country skis and boots for as little as 3,30€/hr (bring cash and valid picture ID). Follow the tracks and cross the Pirita bridge to the Kloostrimets forest. But taking a nice winter walk is an option too.
