Geocache Description:


 


A 2.5 kilometer uphill hike you all can do to a peak with an alpine summit area.



How to get there: To reach the trailhead, you have to enter a toll road. Leave National route 52 at Kollstad and take the public road system uphill to the toll station at Ås (waypoint below) at

N 61º  04.084 E 9º 11.349

on the private road to Etnelien (toll is NOK 50 in 2010, cards accepted). From here it is around 6 km to drive to the parking/trailhead.

The hike from parking and up is around 2.5 kilometers, which gives a total of 5 kilemoeters.

Parking:Parking is available just 50 meters east of the trailhead, so the trailhead coordinates can be used to find the parking.

Footwear: In good weather good joggers will do, but I recommend light hiking boots.

The cache: is located a vest of the cairn og the highest peak. It is a military one-man food can. It has the usual content. The cache is not directly visible. Please replace the cover stones properly.  The cache is not winter safe, I think.

Warning: The last 500 meters the ridge is pretty narrow (100 meters) and there are vertical terrain on both siden. Kees to the top of the ridge in bad weather. If you follow the souther side of the ridge, as I did, so people will find it a little airy. Keep track of dogs and children.
