Geocache Description:


Se upp för brännässlor! Look out for nettles!

Under E18 där bilarna dundrar fram i en ständig ström flyter den lilla kanalen Ålkistan fram lugnt och stillsamt. Ålkistan var tidigare en naturligt förekommande förbindelse mellan Brunnsviken och Värtan, men sedan landhöjningen gjort den ofarbar grävdes den ut igen på 1800-talet. Namnet Ålkistan kommer från en fångstanordning av ål som tidigare fanns i bäcken.

Under E18, where the cars thunder in a neverending stream, the little canal Ålkistan silently flows. Ålkistan was earlier a creek that connected Brunnsviken with Värtan, but due to the post-glacial rebound, it was too shallow to pass by boat, and the canal was built in the mid-19th century. The name Ålkistan ("the eel coffin"), comes from a device for catching eel, that earlier was to be found in the creek.
