Unde juli och augusti är smedjan, kraft-stationen, mekaniska verkstaden och de övriga byggnaderna öppna lördagar och söndagar kl 13-16.

As the dam gates were repaired and the dam itself heightened the cache is somewhere under a layer of stones. A new cache has been placed in about the same location as the old one. It has camoflague colours. It contains the usual geocaching info, log book and trading items.

Good luck!
