Geocache Description:

Gorm the Old (Danish: Gorm den Gamle, Old Norse: Gormr gamli), also called Gorm the Sleepy (Danish: Gorm Løge dvaske), was the first historically recognized King of Denmark, reigning from c. 936 to his death c. 958. He ruled from Jelling, and made the oldest of the Jelling Stones in honour of his wife Thyra. Gorm was born before 900 and died c. 958.

This cache can be dangerous to get to but offers a great view of the area without putting too much effort. The hill is lodged between highway ramps on all sides. PLEASE WATCH CAREFULLY WHEN CROSSING OR PARKING!!! There is a risk of vehicle collisions, should you choose do do this cache, please select a less busy time of day and watch carefully for traffic. This is an old cache I adopted for a friend. You assume all risks when going for this cache.

That being said, there is parking near the cache, which will require a bit of a walk and to cross the highway. The parking coordinates (a nearby roadside pullout) are N49 34.210 W115 41.205

I hope you enjoy the history lesson and the cache, Happy caching and think SAFETY FIRST!

Congrats to Keamiaki Trackers on First to Find!
