Hurum kirke Multi-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This cache has been archived.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,
Cervis Venator

Geocache Description:

Hurum kirke er en gammel kirke i Hurum kummune. Parkering ved Kommunehuset like ved. Veien videre til den endelige cachen er ikke vanskelig, men litte granne bratt. Kom en solskinnsdag og nyt utsikten over Drammensfjorden! You may park at the municipal house. The way to the final cache location is easy, but may be a little steep.

Kirken er en tidstypisk steinkirke fra middelalderen (1150), men med et langt yngre tårn fra 1800-tallet. Som tilbygg til kirken utgjør familien Huitfeldts gravkapell et vesentlig element og vitner om både nasjonal og lokal historie. Huitfeldt-familien hadde sin adelige setegård på Tronstad, og sjøhelten Iver Huitfeldt er blant de mange familiemedlemmene som hviler i gravkapellet. På vestsiden av veien står den høye granittbautaen over Iver Tønnesen Huitfeldt, som falt i sjøslag mot svenskene i 1710.

The church is a typical stone church from the Middle Ages (1150), but with a much younger tower from the 1800s. As an annex to the church is the family burial chapel of the Huitfeldts an essential element and it witnesses on both national and local history. The Huitfeldt family had its seat in Tronstad and the hero Iver Huitfeldt are among the many family members resting in the burial chapel. On the west side of the road stands the tall granite monument of Iver Tønnesen Huitfeldt, who fell in battle against Sweden in 1710.

The cache: Koordinatene for den endelige cachen er: N 59.6B7CA E 010.C5GEG

For å få de manglende tall:

Tell antall gjerdestein. Du for et tall: AB. Sett inn A og B på tilsvarende plasser ved koordinatene.

På baksiden av minnesmerket finner du en dato: C.okt.DEFD

Her får du tallene for C og E.

Det siste tallet, G, får du når du regner FD minus 2. (Koordinatene er i format: hdd,ddddd)

The coordinates for the final location are: County the number of stones in the fence. You get the number AB. Replace A and B with the numbers for the coordinates.

On the back of the memorial stone you will find a date: C.okt.DEFD

Again, replace the letters with the numbers toget the reight coordinates.

The last, missing number, G, is FD minus 2.
