Geocache Description:


Vägen mellan Kristianstad och Växjö i Småland var en viktig transportled för svenska trupper under Skånska kriget 1676 - 79. Under denna tid uppförde svenskarna Hönjarums skans för att bevaka bron över Helge å. Svenskarna höll skansen med en styrka på 30 man. Från den 10 juli 1678 belägrades de av över 150 friskyttar ur Västra och Östra Göinge häraders friskyttekompanier. Den 2 augusti kapitulerade svenskarna inför hotet om stormning.
