Geocache Description:

Visit hell and be glad you made the trip !! :-) Helvete (Hell) is a popular tourist attraction, much more pleasant than the name could indicate.

You can by finding this cach also visit Hell ! (Helvete in Norwegian). The cache is placed not to far from the entrance outside the atraction.There can at times be many tourists at the site so please be abit cautious.The Potholes Helvete was carved out towards the of the last Ice Age. At the time the river Vinstra flowed through Gausdal valley and into the lake Mjøsa abit south of Lillehammer.About 9000 years ago, due to a collapse of a moraine ridge in Skåbu, 22 km north of the Potholes, the river ran a new course down to Gudbrandsdalen.
At a time a priest once said “It seems like I am the only priest in Norway who can claimto have been in Hell, and has escaped unscatched."

Jettegrytene i Helvete ble til under slutten av siste istid. Den gang rant elven Vinstra nedover Gausdal og ut i Mjøsa litt syd for Lillehammer. For ca. 9000 år siden tok elven nytt løp ned mot Gudbrandsdalen da en morene rygg i Skåbu , 22 km nord for Helvete ga etter.
En prest i dalen skal ha uttalt etter et besøk i Helvete, ” Slik det nå ser ut, er nok jeg den eneste som kan si at jeg har vært i Helvete, og som slapp hel-skinnet ut igjen.

The cache is a round plastic box.
The cache is not accesable when snow on the ground.

Original content:Pen, tape, peg and a paper clip.
