PPJ #49 Tunsberghus Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Cervis Venator

1503 the castle Tunsberghus was burnt and torn down, after having served the kings for centuries. The stone castle was built by king Håkon IV Håkonsson in the 13th century.
Today we may stroll on the broad back of the hill, enjoying the view, the grass and the presentation of what once was built here.

/ Plassert på Slottsfjellet, 60 moh i Tønsberg.
Vennligst sett cachen tilbake så den ikke synes!
I 1503 ble kongeborgen på Slottsfjellet i Tønsberg brent og jevnet med jorden, etter at borganlegget Tunsberghus - først i tre, siden i stein - hadde vært i bruk i mange hundre år. Steinborgen ble anlagt av Håkon IV Håkonsson på 1200-tallet.
I dag kan vi rusle på fjellets flate rygg og nyte utsikten, gresset og presentasjonene av hva som har ligget her av byggverker.
