Geocache Description:


Uppe på Grogarnsberget ligger resterna efter Gotlands näst största fornborg. Fornborgen tros ha uppförts under senare delen av järnåldern och använts under vikinga- samt tidig medel-tid.
Utsikten från borgen är magnifik. Under vikingatiden bör en fiendeflotta ha kunnat ses på ett avstånd av 14-18 natutiska mil – en sträcka motsvarande 5-6 timmars rodd. Genom att tända vårdkasar kunde man från Grogarnsberget signalera om den annalkande faran till bl.a. fornborgen på Torsburgen.

Cachen består av ett Pet-rör med loggremsa -----------

Eng:
The remnants of Gotland’s next largest hillfort can be seen on the clifftop of “Grogarnsberget”. The hillfort is thought to have been built in the later Iron Age and used in the Viking Age and Medieval Period.
The view from the hillfort is magnificent. In the Viking Age an enemy fleet could be spotted at a distance of 14-18 nautic miles – a distance which would have taken 5-6 hours to row.
By making use of the beacon system, whereby fires were lit in succession along the coast, approaching dangers could be signaled to other places, such as the hillfort of “Torsburgen”.
The cache is a Pet-tube with a logstrip
