Beschrijving
If it's hot summer and you are looking for a place to cool down
then there is no better place than the catacombs of the Maasi
Stronghold. You don't need a flashlight (but you will see more if
you have one!) nor a ticket to enjoy a walk in this magnificent
place. From the higher floor you have a great panorama including
the Small Strait (Väike väin), Muhu island and the Sea of Straits
(Väinameri). Now, a little bit about the history:
The beginnings of this stronghold go back to around XIV century.
From then on, the fortification were expanded, reconstructed and
again demolished several times while changing the rulers. The
castle was finally blown up in 1576 by the Danish (to avoid being
captured by Swedes) and has been waiting until around year 2000 to
be once again restored in some part and allow visitors to walk its
chambers. To learn more please see the links below or the
information board at the site.

About the cache

Car parking available. Do not take any shortcuts, follow the road
to the left of the parking area. Cache is hidden outside the ruins,
there is a path leading to this place as it seems to be a nice
place to make oneself a photo. You can use this trick to explain
your presence. Be careful, muggles a.k.a. tourists can see you from
the back, top and bottom. Please respect the place, do not dig the
ground, do not rebuild the wall or blow up anything anymore! Other
than that, it should be another easy find :)
Container is a plastic box (dimensions: 9 x 9 x 6 cm) put in a
vapour permeable membrane sachet - it should allow the box to dry
fast after getting wet - we are testing how this method works so
please do NOT add any plastic bag.
