Parking at glomset, 40 meters above sealevel. The road is 4.6 kilometers long and will bring you up to 340 meters above sealevel. The first 3 kilometers you will walk on a private road - closed for normal traffic. The remaining 1.6 kilometers is trough forest/wetland. A bike can be used on the first leg of this trip.
This is my favorite place on Emblemsfjellet that I want to share with my fellow cachers. At Svartevatnet you can rise your tent and camp, make camp fire, fish in the water (buy/release a fishing card first). You can use this area as "base camp" to explore the surrounding areas. Special in the period from may to june/july here is plenty of wild life. Deers, hunting birds (e.g. falcons) are nesting here and also big game birds are most likely to be heard and seen during a 2-3 days stay at the water. The water is deep, but shallow near land, rocky, so it heats up fast - nice for swimming. At the north end is the outlet, stream, best area to collect drinking water. Several "camp sites" are made around the water. For a day trip you can stay at a place close to the cache. Here you find a casserole and a kettle for making coffe. Enough wood around for making fires. Use already prepared fire places, and ofcouse, put out the fire with plenty of water before you leave the area. The cache contains a FTF-certificate, a logbook, pens and various trade items.
