kaplerne: Det kommer til at tage lidt tid at vende multien om, og så krævet det godt vejr. Jeg håber cachen kan nå at blive klar inden efteråret, men min ferie slutter i næste uge, så det er usikkert.

Geocache Description:

Multi-cache langs molen i Marstal.

Multi-cache alongside the breakwater.

Langs molen

((English version below))

Dansk

Marstal er opstået ved en naturhavn og har en lang historie. Talrige fund viser at den har været brugt siden stenalderen, og selvom det er benævnt som fiskerleje allerede i 1514 og som søfartsby fra 1634 er det faktisk først i 1825 at byggeriet af en egentlig havn går i gang. Her begyndte man nemlig på etableringen af den imponerende mole.
Når man bygger i 1825 er der selvsagt ikke hjælp at hente fra kraner og andre store maskiner – Den 1100 meter lange mole i Marstal er bygget med håndkraft af søfolkene fra byen og arbejdet løb over 50 år!
Det siges at etablering af molen blev sat i gang for at bevare ægteskaberne i Marstal. Sømændende var jo hjemme om vinteren, og så kunne det godt blive til ballade med konen. Derfor gik de i gang med at samle sten.
Faktum er dog, at det blev gjort af frivillige hænder, og at det har været et utroligt slid at opføre den imponerende mole.

Denne multi fører dig en tur i molens længde langs havnen. En kørestolsbruger vil nemt kunne komme med, men ikke kunne finde cachen alene.

Starten på turen
Ved startkoordinatet N 54 50.863 E 010 31.250 står en kanon.
Kigger du mod syd/øst kan du se starten på molen.

A=antallet af bogstaver i kanonens navn
For at komme videre langs med lystbådehavnen skal du gå på en sti, der er markeret med et skilt.
B = Antal ord på skiltet

WP 2: N 54 50.A85 E 010 31.B87
Her står du ved lystbådehavnen. Kigger du igen mod syd/øst kan du stadig se molen. Mod nord/øst kan du se kalkovnen. Fortsætter du videre langs lystbådehavnen efterfølgende vil du se, at der ikke er langt over til kalkovnen.. men det kræver en båd. Ellers må du den lange tur på knapt 2 km derud – og tilbage igen.

C = (nummer på den anløbsbro du står ved) – 4

WP 3: N 54 51.C43 E 010 31.C88
Nu står du ved det gamle toldkammer, der nu er indrettet som turistbureau. På den modsatte side af gaden finder du Søfartsmuseet, som bestemt er et besøg værd.

D = den reducerede tværsum af antallet af ruder i dørpartiet

WP 3: N 54 51.3D0 E 010 31.2D5
På vej mod det næste waypoint foreslår vi, at du går bag om mindesmærket og altså langs med havnen.
Ved waypointet finder du en stor sten, der blev rejst på havnen som et minde om det hårde slid, der er lagt bag etableringen af molen og havnen.
Du står også lige ved en minebøsse (lokalt kalder ”bombebøssen”). En minebøsse er en sømine hvor sprængstoffer er taget ud, og der er indsat en indsamlingsbøsse. Ofte blev der samlet penge ind til sømandsenker eller lignende formål.
Bombebøssen her blev opstillet i 1920 af Sømandsforenigen af 1856 og er fra 1. Verdenskrig.
Den bærer inskriptionen: FØR SØMÆNDS DØD OG ENKERS GRAAD NU TRØST FOR TAB OG TAK FOR DAAD.

På mindestenen finder du et antal årstal.
E = antal årstal på mindestenen

Along the waterbreaker

English

We hope this multi can be done by non-Danish speakers too. Please read the description carefully if you are the first – then you can be our “crash test dummy” :)
The city Marstal emerged by a nature made harbour and has a long story. Several historical findings indicate that the area has been inhabited since the Stone Age, and though it was mentioned as a fishing village in 1514 and a city with shipping industry since 1634, it was not until 1825 that the building of a real harbour began. At this time the construction of the impressing waterbreaker was begun.
When building in 1825 there were of course no help from big machines available – The 1100 meter long waterbreaker in Marstal has been built by hand by the local sailors and the construction during a 50 year period!
It is told that the construction began in order to maintain the marriages in Marstal. The sailors were home in the winter, and often started arguing with their wives. That’s why they began collection big rocks instead.
It is a fact, though, that it was done manually by volunteers and that requires toil and trouble to build the impressing waterbreaker.

This multi will take you around the harbour and along the waterbreaker. A wheelchair user will be able to drive along, but might not be able to reach the cache alone

The beginning of the multi
At the starting coordinates N 54 50.863 E 010 31.250 you’ll find a cannon.
If you look to South/East you can see the beginning of the waterbreaker.

A=the number of letters in the cannons name (it’s written in italic)
In order to walk along the marina you must walk on a path (in Danish “sti”) marked by a sign.
B=number of words on the sign.

WP 2: N 54 50.A85 E 010 31.B87
Now you are in the marina. If you look to South/East you can still see the waterbreaker. Towards North/East you can see the Lime Kiln (in Danish “kalkovn”). It isn’t far away… if you have a boat. If you don’t it’s a 2 km walk.

C = (the number of the pier (in Danish “bro”)) – 4

WP 3: N 54 51.C43 E 010 31.C88
Now you are stading by the old Costom House, which is now the tourist office. Across the road you will find the Maritime Museum.

D= the reduced sum of digits of the number of windows at the entrence (only by the door)

WP 3: N 54 51.3D0 E 010 31.2D5
On your way to the next waypoint we suggest you use the road behind the monument and thereby walk along the harbour.
At the waypoint you’ll find a big rock, which was raised to commemorate the toil a trouble which had to be done in order to finish the waterbreaker.
You are also right next to the mine collecting box. We call it “bombebøssen” which roughly translates into “bomb box”. A mine collecting box is an old mine, where the explosives has been replaced by a collecting box. Often money is collected for sailors’ widows or the like.
The mine was erected in 1920 by a sailor association and is from 1st world war.
On the mine you can read this inscription: FØR SØMÆNDS DØD OG ENKERS GRAAD NU TRØST FOR TAB OG TAK FOR DAAD. This very short poetic line says that the mine used to mean sailors’ death and widowers’ weeping but now it means consolation for the losses and thanks for the acts of bravery.

On the stone there are a number of years.
E = number of years
