Beschrijving
[ENG] This cache was placed to introduce some important historic
events that took place here. The site seems a little bit set aside
and forgotten but it's very worthy of a visit and discovering it's
past. Please act sensibly near the 0-point. You are welcome to
bring and light a candle near the monument like we did. You can
read a little bit of history below, as well as from the links
provided and an information board at the site.
Very close to it, on the main road, you can also see the Eemu windmill and learn about it's construction but only Wed-Sun.
"The formation of Muhu Island began about 8000 years ago when the island slowly rose out of the sea. The process of elevation actually continues up to this very day. The first people inhabited the island around 2500 years BC. It was on Muhu Island where the scanty findings from the Bronze Age include some of the oldest items of that time to be found in Estonia, for example a spearhead originating from the 15th –14th century BC.
By the end of ancient times a stronghold was established in Muhu, the ruins of which can still be seen today while passing by the Linnuse village on the Kuivastu–Kuressaare road. In 1227, a heavy battle was fought in that stronghold by the order of the Brethren of the Sword against the islanders – a battle which is described by the contemporary chronicler Henry of Livonia. The battle lasted 7 days and involved an army of as much as 20.000 mercenaries from the mainland. This battle is considered to have been decisive in bringing Estonia for the centuries to come under foreign rule. "
