Geocache Description:


Hellvik og Marrenbukta var den einaste gode hamna mellom Sirevåg og Eigersund, og var difor ein av dei første stadene i Eigersund som fekk permanent forlagte infanteristyrker utanfor Slettebøleiren. Påska 1941 vart dei første områda beslaglagt, hovudsakleg i Sandarnesbukta.
Her vart det sett opp over ein halv kilometer piggtrådsperringer, maskingeværstilingar og ei kanonstilling tilknytta eit tunnelanlegg. På Svartholodden vart det sett opp endå ein kanon, og søkelyskastar for identifisering av båtar på nattestid. Lenger ute vart det bygd framskutte stilingar, både på Sandarnesodden og på Vassvikodden.
Saman utgjorde alle desse stillingane tyskarane sitt "Stützpunkt Marrenbucht".
I dag ser ein kanskje ikkje så mykje her ved første øyekast, men området byr på ei rekke intakte bunkarar og forsvarsstillingar.



Hellvik and Marrenbukta was the only good harbor between Sirevåg and Eigersund, and was therefore one of the first places in Eigersund where the Germans permanently laid infantry forces outside Slettebø camp. At easter 1941 the first areas was seized, mainly in Sandarnesbukta.
More than half a kilometer barbed wire was put up, machine-gun positions along with a canon position interconnected to an underground facility. At Svartholodden yet another canon were set up, and searchlight for identification of boats at night. Farther out advanced positions was built up, at Sandarnesodden and at Vassvikodden. Together all of these positions were the Germans "Stützpunkt Marrenbucht" .
Today you may not notice much here at first glance, but the area offers a number of intact bunkers and defensive positions.
