Setesdal #1, Reiaarsfossen 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This cache has been archived.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

Geocache Description:



Norsk:
Dette er den første av mine cacher i Setesdalsserien. Jeg skal prøve å legge cacher på de stedene du bare MÅ se når du kjører gjennom denne flotte dalen. Dalen er full av flott natur og spennende kultur!

Reiårsfossen er en 300 meter høy foss. Fossen er virkelig verdt et besøk. Fra Ose går det en vei opp i fjellet (Husk å betale for å kjøre opp veien). I enden av veien kommer du til et vann som heter Reiårsvann. Her er det mulig å gå både lengre og kortere turer inn i fjellheimen. Noen av stiene er merka, andre er ikke.

Sagnet sier at Reiårsfossen fikk navnet sitt etter en ung mann som hadde drept en mann. Rettsaken var over og han ble dømt til å ri på hest over fossen tre ganger. Da han hadde gjort dette, stod ei jente igjen på andre sida og ropte at hun fremdeles var glad i ham. Det han hadde gjort hadde ingenting å si. Da bestemte han seg for å ri over en gang til for å møte henne. På vei over så glapp hesten taket og de døde begge to.

Mellom Reiårsfossen og elva Otra som går gjennom hele Setesdal, ligger en liten campingplass. I begynnelsen av juli hvert år så blir det arrangert her en country-festival. Her er det samlet mange mennesker og det er masse liv!

Ha en strålende tur gjennom Setesdal og bruk blikket ut i naturen!

This is the first cache in my Setesdalserie of caches. I'll try to put caches into the places you MUST see when you are travelling threw this beautiful valley.The valley is full of great nature og exciting culture!

Reiaarsfossen a 300 m high waterfall. The waterfall is really worth a look. There goes a road from Ose up in the mountains (you'll have to pay to drive this road). In the end of the road there's a small lake called Reiaarsvatn. From this area there goes nice paths for hiking. Some of the tracks are marked others are not.

The story tells that Reiaarsfossen has acchieved it's name after a young man who had killed a man. The trial he was convicted to ride three times over the waterfall on a horse. After doing this a girl shouted from the other side of the waterfall that she still loved him, no matter what he had done. So he decided to ride across one last time to meet her. On his way over the horse slipped and they both got killed.

Between Reiaarsfossen and the river Otra there's a small camping. Every summer in the beginning of Juli the camping organizes a countrymusic festival. Normally there's a lot of people gathered, and plenty of life!

Have a great trip through Setesdal, use your eyes to see the nature!
