Geocache Description:

Denne cache gør min lille serie om de gamle milepæle komplet.
UK: This cache completes my small series about the old milestones.

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 kvartmilepæl. Disse gamle milepæle er sjældne, men her i området findes også en halvmilepæl og en trekvartmilepæl, hvor jeg også har lagt caches.
Denne milepæl er helt speciel, da den oprindelige kvartmilepæl er genbrugt her af Frederik d. 5. da kongevejen blev anlagt omkring 1764. Hvor milepælen oprindelig har stået, vides ikke.

Cachen indeholder fra start logbog, husk blyant. FTF og JFTF diplom mailes, kontakt mig via min profil.
UK: 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 in 1907. 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 quarter milestone. These milestones are quite seldom but you ca find one a half mile stone and three quarter milestone close to Hillerød. At these stones you also find caches that I have placed.
This milestone is very special because the original stone has been reused by king Frederik 5th when this road was made around 1764. It remains unknown where the stone was orginally placed.
The cache contains a logbook remeber a pencil. FTF and JFTF diploma will be send on request if I’m contacted via my profile.
