cachers. Please be very respectful and careful to not cause any
problems when looking for the cache. The cache has been moved so
that you hardly need to leave the road to find it. Please see the
hint if you are not sure. You must exercise extreme caution when
going for this cache, this is a muggle-intense area with lots of
people walking about!!!
Området och de som bor i området är väldigt känsliga för
geocacheare som letar i den känsliga naturen. Därför har cachen
placerats på ett sådant sätt att du i princip inte behöver lämna
vägen när du letar efter den. Se hinten om du är osäker. Du behöver
vara mycket försiktig när du tar denna cache eftersom det är ett
område fullt av mugglare vanligtvis och det finns inte så många
ställen du kan sitta med den ostört!

Görväln's cottages
This is part in a round of five caches that will take you around
the old cottages that used to belong to castle Görväln in the nice
area of lake Mälaren. This part of Mälaren is called Görväln and is
also a very biologically interesting area. Carl von Linnaeus was
enticed with the various rare species of plants, insects and bats
that can be found in this area.
History
Dikartorp, Henrikstorp and Slammertorp are three farms that was
in use already by the 1530'ies under castle Görväln. The farms were
all used until different times depending on how far they were from
Görväln. Dikartorp until 1818 and Slammertorp until 1907.
At Slammertorp there are two cottages left. Henrikstorps living
quarters is severely modernized and at Dikartorp there are no
remaining original structures except a foundation.
Baset lies very nicely close to Mälarens water and was probably
built around 1728. One small cottage remains from this time and
then there are some modern buldings too. Today it is used by one of
the local Christian congregations.
Marhagen south of Görväln was inhabited since 1627 and was in
use all the way into the 1910's. Today Marhagen also have some
later buildings.

Parts of the nature around here is sensitive. Pleace follow the
instructions on the signs. In some parts bicycling is not allowed.
In most parts mopeds and other vehicles with engines are not
allowed to be operated. Dogs should be kept on a leash at all times
since this is a nature reservation. Use the gravel roads and well
marked paths as much as possible and don't tear away the moss on
rocks when looking for the caches.
Bring something to drink and eat. There are many very beautiful
places around this area well suited for picnics.
More caches will come. :-)
