Danmarks ældste milepæle blev på befaling af kong Christian den 5. udmålt af Rømer og opsat i 1692. Milepælene skulle være hugget i granit. De blev opsat på milepælshøje. Datidens mil var 7538 meter fra 1835 indtil 1907 hvor metersystemet indførtes i Danmark. For hver hele mil blev der opsat milepæle med det pågældende ciffer og i nogle tilfælde med kongens monogram.
For hver kvarte, halve og trekvarte mil blev der også opsat milepæle. Hver kvarte mil var angivet med en prik. Denne milepæl er en halvmilepæl. Disse gamle milepæle er sjældne, men her tæt på Hillerød findes også en trekvartmilepæl, hvor jeg også har lagt en cache. Cachen 5x12 cm. indeholder fra start logbog, blyant. FTF og JFTF diplom mailes, kontakt mig via min profil.
ENG:
Rømer did the measurements required to place Denmarks first milestone in 1692. It was done by order from King Christian 5th. The milestones had to be carved in stone. The stone was originally placed on a hillock. A Danish mile was 7538 meters from 1835 until 1907 when the metric system was introduced. At each mile a stone with the number and eventually the King monogram was placed. A stone was also placed at each quarter, half and three quarter mile. Each quarter mile was marked by a carved dot on the stone. This stone is thus a half milestone. These milestones are quite seldom but you ca find one more here close to Hillerød. At this stone you also find a cache that I have placed.
The cache 5x12 cm. contains from start the following: A logbook and a pencil. FTF and JFTF diploma will be send on request if I’m contacted via my profile.
