Norsk: En svart cache på et trist sted, til minne om en mørk epoke i norsk historie.

Drapsmannen Kristoffer Svartbekken fra Elverum, født 1805, ble halshogget av bøddelen Theodor Larsen her på Ekrumstormyra 25.februar 1876. Dette var den siste sivile dødsdom i fredstid fullbyrdet i Norge. Det var en gjengjeldelse for rovmordet på den nitten år gamle gardbrukersønnen Even Dæhlin fra nabobygda Stange ett år tidligere, den 28. februar 1875. Dæhlin ble funnet død ca. en kilometer herfra dagen etter udåden.

Fullbyrdelsen av dødsdommen samlet over 3000 tilskuere!

Cachen er type small. Rommer f.eks. geocoins. Tilgjengelig hele året.

English: A black cache at a sad place, reminds about a dark period in the Norwegian history.

The murderer, Kristoffer Svartbekken from Elverum, born in 1805, was beheaded by the executioner Theodor Larsen here at Ekrumstormyra, 25th Februar 1876. This was the last civil death sentence carried out during peacetime in Norway. It was a retribution for the murder, comitted during the course of a robbery, of the nineteen year old farmer’s son Even Dæhlin who came from the neighbouring parish of Stange, one year earlier on 28th February 1875. Dæhlin was found dead on the Ekrumshagen property, approx. one kilometer north of here the day after the atrocity.

A crowd of over 3000 onlookers came to watch the execution!

The cache is a small plastic container, some bigger than a film canister. Can hold i.e. geocoins. Available all the year.

To get there: Parking close to Rv.25 at N60o51.350 E011o23.365. A path starting at N60o51.390 E011o23.250 takes you to the cache.
Approx. 400 meters walking. Rubber boots recommended
