Geocache Description:

Note: The cache has been replaced on July 21 2020 and the description and the hint has been revised. Since the area has changed a lot since this was placed it has been moved a little (~15 meters) to a better hiding place.

This Cache can't be approached directly, as you have to complete some tasks first to obtain the correct coordinates. It's hidden approximately 40 km. north-east of Aarhus.


The name of cache originates from its original hiding place (under a Christmas trees) rather than its content. The container is a painted ammo-box. The cache is not visible but covered.

Task 1: Go to the start-coordinates. Enjoy the view for a moment. Look west and see an entrance - go for it. Stop at the first platform on the left :) Look up to the right and count the number of square holes on a row just below the top. Remember the number - you'll need it later!!

Task 2: Now go to N 56° 13.111 E 010° 30.108. Count the number of stones supporting the big stone. Again remember the number you'll need it later.

Task 3: Now count the number of stones in the outer circle. Of course you also need to remember this number.

Task 4: Now you're ready to go to the cache coordinates. The coordinates are found in the following way:
Add one to the number found in task 2 and call that x.
Substract 8 from the number found in task 3 and call that yy.
Substract 3 from the number found in task 1 and call that z.
N 56° 12.xyy E 010° 30.z93

The cache contains:

  • Christmas "ball" with snow
  • Christmas tie
  • PS2/Usb converter
  • CD
  • Glowing dolphins
  • A pencil and a log book

There are additional hints below. ONLY read/decrypt one sentence at a time because each one brings you closer to the cache!!
