Lost Highway Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

Cache placed on Dyvekes bro in Oslo/Cachen er plassert på Dyvekes bru.


This cache is placed along the city-bound lane of what was once one of the busiest highway bridges in Oslo. Now an empty piece of asphalt.

The bridge is named after Dyveke Sigbrittsdaughter, mistress of Christian II of Denmark/Norway. Interestingly enough, there is not a single street or place in Oslo named after the king himself.

Access to the cache is easy. Take the bus (lines 32,34,70 or 74) to Dyvekes bru. If you come by car you can drive onto the abandoned bridge and park there.


Cachen er plassert på det som en gang var E6 mot sentrum, og en av de travleste gatestubbene i Oslo. Efter at Ekebergstunnelen stod ferdig ligger veien der øde, med fortau og veimerking intakt.

Broen (og gaten som fortsetter videre oppover åsen) er oppkalt efter Dyveke Sigbrittsdatter, Christian IIs elskerinne. Interessant nok er ingen gater eller plasser i Oslo oppkalt efter kongen selv.

Tilgang til cachen (og broen) er enkelt. Enten med buss (linjene 32, 34, 70 eller 74) til Dyvekes bru, eller med bil hvor man kan krysse fortauet og parkere inne på den nedlagte veien.
