Geocache Description:

The cache is places at Øvre Blanksjø, a very pretty little pond almost on top of a hill.

This small lake is in a very secluded place and it feels like it is a world of its own. In the spring many different birds fill the air with their songs. In the summer and autumn you will find different kinds of insects running on the water between beautiful water lilies, dragon flies buzzing around, spiders sailing over the water with their long threads caught in the slight breeze, everything glittering in the sun. In the autumn it’s a great place for mushrooms.

You can follow a trail from the west side of Nedre Blanksjø. Recommended stops along the trail are at approximately N 59 58.943 E 10 44.187 where you pass the remains of one of the larger stone quarries (steinbrudd) that ones were in this area and at approximately N 59 59.238 E 10 44.036 you will have a wide view south and east.

The cache is a plastic box (15x10x5 cm). It contains a logbook, pencil, and some trading items inspired by the area.

Øvre Blanksjø has a group of friends that have their own “cache-like” item at the main resting area containing a logbook and some nice reading material. The geocache is therefore placed on the other side of the lake. Be aware of this and don’t get confused. You can also make a log entry in the friends’ logbook, but it is not a geocache and has no web-page.
