[ENG] On ancient times distance was measured in cubits, feets, versts etc. 1 verst is equal to 1067 meters. After every verst there was placed one stone verst post on the main roads of tsarist Russia. During soviet and awakening times many of them became a part of dumps or private houses but there are still some left near the roads in Vidzeme, witnessing with no words about former times when alone wayfarers walked there, carriages and carts with horses were driving and army were passing by in huge colons…

Verst pole is located near the road Cesvaine- Jaunpiebalga at the
given coordinates. To find the cache go from verst pole in direction
of Cesvaine about 100 meters and search for big tree with hole.

3 versts in direction of Jaunpiebalga there are one more verst pole
and about km in direction of Cesvaine You can find Gremu hill. On
1990ties there were found burials from 17th century and it rushed the plans to make a neat farm on that hill.

Good luck!!!
