Geocache Description:


The cache is placed above the city of Skala, on a road that leads from Skala and up to "Old Skala". Continue a bit further after having reached Old Skala - approx. 700 meter and you'll end up close to the cache. The road is in good condition, asphalt paved, but a bit narrow in places. The view on the sea and the "new" Skala is magnificent.

We went there by scooters but also on foot. On foot it takes about an hour to walk from Skala to the cache.

On the way up you pass the "Old Skala", where the town was placed before the earthquake in 1953. If you want to see pictures from Old Skala then you may look here.

Note, that from Old Skala there is a brand new asphalt road leading west to Allimatas, from where you can continue to the main road at Ratzakli.

The cache is a small 0.5 liters box. A First Finder's Certificate is waiting for the first to find the cache.


"Lunden" and "Fotografen" are danish geocachers.We are very lucky to live in Denmark, where we have more than 6000 caches (July 2008) in a country with only 5 million inhabitants and an area about 43.000 km2. This is approx. one cache per 6 km2! In the forests around the place where "Fotografen" lives ( 55° 45.700N,  12° 24.300E ) it's actually getting difficult to find new places for new caches! Look for yourself in Google Earth. 

A note on cache maintenance: We have a local person who will help with cache maintenance.
