Landstedt: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Älvravinerna
Needed to find "Earth"

The Treasure lies at: N 60 30 ??? E 015 26 ???

To access the last digits of the coordinates you need to solve this equation. Your task is to figure out what X is. Walk the path around the river, starting according to the given coordinates or from a location of choise. While you walk around it, count the bridges you walk across along the way (only bridges, not the wooden walkways on dry land and not the power station). Multiply the number of bridges with the year inscribed on the Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson memorial stone (you'll find the location below, but you pass the stone along the path). Substract this product from X and you'll get the constant 481249. To summarize, the equation is as follows:

X - (bridges * year) = 481249

The first three digits of X are the last three digits of the N coordinates. The last three digits of X are the last three digits of the E coordinates. If you're having problem locating the right path, please refer to the map which should be accurate.
