Abandon mine - Donsö Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

blaufish: Arching, RIP!

  1. Searched for the cache at where my spoiler pic says it should be, did not find it, just like the previous catchers.

  2. Ants have moved their home to right next to the cache, a thousand ants stormed forward in wrath when I searched for the cache.

  3. This means I think the cache is either gone (moved or muggled) or unrecoverable during the summer.

  4. Lots of new caches on the island now, it is time for old one to make way for the new hope.

Thanks to all who came and visited the abandoned mine! If you place a new here find a space far away from the ants!

Geocache Description:

An abandon mine on Donsö, close to Nordövallen soccer arena

WARNING: watch your steps carefully. The ground here could be dangerous, worry if you see something wet - it might be a hole. The risks are quite limited if you are careful. If you bring kids, keep them under close observation.

Around 1900 AC, a mine was constructed to mine mineral feldspar and mica. The minerals were shipped to various locations, e.g. Germany.

Now the abandoned mine is filled by water and tree roots.

If you have trouble finding your way, just ask the locals how to get to Nordövallen soccer arena (the only soccer arena on Donsö, according to my map)

Public transportation: www.vasttrafik.se, search for Donsö. You can also reach Donsö by bridge from Styrsö.

Donsö port (close to the brigde) offers the essentials; public restrooms, shower, pizza resturant, convenience store, bowling. update 2011: maria's icecream has closed. but at isbolaget you can get ice cream as well as cappuccino, late etc, and small food...

You can also find a couple of nice places to bath on Donsö.

2009-06-29: BEWARE: Logs tell of bad ass ants haunting this place.Don't go here if you are afraid of ants. (ants are a bit poisonous I guess, but not much unless you are alergic. Bites can hurt though). Svenska: myror här. De bits. De är onda. De festar på geocachare. Var snäll mot dem och stör dem så lite som möjligt. Bit inte tillbaka.
