Geocache Description:


The cache is located on the Türsamäe cliff, next to industrial zone of Sillamäe. In 17th century there was a fishing village and manor, in 19th century it became a very popular summer resort.

During the Soviet regime the nearby town (incl. coast) was long time closed to visitors and kept secret because of its military industrial function. Now it's open. No more border guards and passport control at every step. Only the old watch tower remember those times (1,3km W, private property).

So, enjoy the view and log the cache of course.
You can also see the harbour and tanks of Baltic Chemical Terminal. Two of the biggest contain 30 000 tonnes of liquid ammonia each.
