SeaDesire#1 - Sjølyst 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This cache has been archived.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:


Gården

Sjølyst, gård mellom Rv 303 og Kaupangveien, skriver seg sannsynligvis fra yngre jernalder, da navnet ser ut til å ha vært Skerløysa. Det viser til en gård ’uten skjær i jord’. Eldre uttale: sjyllyst. Funn fra yngre steinalder eller bronsealderen. Fra Sjølyst verserer en gammel historie om ei kone som hadde ord på seg for å kunne trolle. Tjenestejenta så henne flere ganger sitte nede ved bekken og kjerne smør ut av bare vann. Og i denne skogen, samt Guriskogen er det observert spøkelser i uminnelige tider. Bl.a. har man observert ei kjerring med hodet under armen…

Cachen

Fra gården går det en blåmerket løype i skogen hvor man kan bl.a. ta en avstikker å finne en liten topp lokale kaller for ”antennefjellet”. Antennene er borte i dag - man ser bare rester etter fundamenter. Utsikt til Larviksfjorden, dog noe begrenset.

Parkerer man ved skolen og går ca. 50m ned sykkelstien, kommer man til Sjølyst gård og starten på blåstien, og man får en fin liten rusletur på ca. 400m. Alternativt kan man parkere litt nærmere å korte det ned til ca. 250m gange. Se waypoints.

Short English version:

Sjølyst, farm between Route 303 and Kaupang road, probably derived from the younger Iron Age, when the name appears to have been Skerløysa. It refers to a farm 'without shear in the earth'. Older saying: sjyllyst. Findings from the Stone Age or Bronze Age. From Sjølyst there is an old story about a woman with sorcerers abilities. A maiden saw her several times sitting down by the creek and core butter out of only water. And in this forest and the forest “Guriskogen” it is observed ghosts since primeval times. People have observed a woman with her head under your arm ...

Park at the school and walk aprox. 50m down the bikepath, and you reach the Sjølyst farm and the start of the marked trail, and you will have a nice little stroll about 400m long. Alternatively you can park a little closer, and short it down to aprox. 250m walk. See waypoints.
