Geocache Description:

A traditional cache by the bay of Rismalahti, in Asikkala
Perinteinen kätkö Rismalahden rannalla Asikkalassa.

Rismalahti is a beatiful bay in the island of Salonsaari on the mighty lake Päijänne. There is sheltered natural harbour for small boats and a sandy beach for swimming. It also hosts a scouting camp site with a rather well equipped hut and a sauna by the lakeshore. The area is owned by the state.

When the waters aren't frozen, there are always boats and people in Rismalahti, but the cache is conveniently situated on the opposite shore to the harbour and can easily be found without being noticed by them. The container is a largish regular, which is not completely airtight and therefore everything in it should be stored inside plastic bags as a protection against moisture.


Rismalahti on luonnonkaunis lahti Asikkalan Salonsaaressa eteläisellä Päijänteellä. Lahdessa on luonnonsatama pienveneille ja hiekkapohjainen uimaranta. Siellä on myös partiolaisten leirikeskus hyvinvarusteltuine mökkeineen ja rantasaunoineen. Alue on Metsähallituksen omistamaa.

Vapaan veden aikaan Rismalahdessa on aina veneitä ja ihmisiä, mutta kätkö on sijoitettu lahden vastakkaiselle puolelle ja se on helppo löytää ilman pelkoa nähdyksi tulemisesta. Purkki on isohko regular, joka ei ole aivan ilmatiivis, joten tavarat on syytä suojata muovipussilla kosteudelta.
