Geocache Description:

Available and created especially for winter and skiing conditions.

 

Kattisa was originally a resting place for horse-drivers who delivered timber and logs from Enebakk to Christiania (Oslo) around 1700-1800 century. Later on it was a small farming place which also served food and drink to travellers. The house was destroyed in 1916 when Nøklevann became drinking water reserve. The name Kattisa is from an old Finnish fishing tool used here: Kattise.

Kattisa is today a popular resting place for families and all people while skiing and walking around Nøklevann. It has a public fire place, which is much used for barbequing during summer. You can swim, fish or rent a canoo to explore Nøklevann, while you look over to Hysse#1 Danskeodden. During winter it is a popular access point from the ski-tracks for those who wants to cross Nøklevann.

More info can be found here (in Norwegian): Kattisa - husmannsplass og hvilestue.

This cache was used for ad-hoc get-together, with the inspiration from PPJ#28 Winter Night. It is easy access in here from many starting spots, both with car, bike or subway. The trip in will be ca. 2-3 km., and should be possible for all skills of skiers; children, adults, dogs, beginners, etc. It is also possible to walk in here during winter via the road from Rustadsaga along Nøklevann.

This cache is part of AG#15 - Østmarka multi-cache bonus, with clues in three caches.

Remember to write down the clues in the log-books

The cache is a black Petling, containing combined Geocache info & log sheet.
