Geocache Description:

Geocaching in Iceland


Geocaching in Iceland - that's what we all have in common and it is the reason we would like to meet you on July, 13th at Nauthólsvík Beach in Reykjavík.

No matter if you are Icelandic or on holiday in Iceland -- feel invited to spend this afternoon together with other geocachers and exchange your thoughts and experiences with them.

We will start at 3 pm at the above coordinates.

Why "Geocaching in Iceland"?


Iceland is not only a very special country, it also has very special geocaches! Many owners don't live in Iceland and can't maintain their cache immediately. But the Geocaching scene grows rapidly. And as more geocaches exist in Iceland it is more and more important to preserve the often fragile nature: nesting birds, off-road driving or rubbish in the nature, just to name a few aspects. Even for Icelanders the country can be dangerous sometimes; especially on longer daytrips it's quite important to know some rules -- or at least the telephone number of Landsbjörg.

About Nauthólsvík Beach


The area where we meet offers during its opening hours from 10 am to 7 pm heated bathing possibilities: a sitting pool (38 °C), a round hot tub and a lagoon (between 18 °C and 20 °C). All this is free of charge as well as the dressing rooms and the toilets. Besides we can use the barbecue facilities to grill some sausages or whatever you like. The nearby shop should provide sausages and beverages. But of course you can bring your own picnic as well, if you want. Attention: Use of alcohol, smoking and dogs are prohibited at the beach!

Geocaching á Íslandi - Það er það sem við höfum öll sameiginlegt og það er ástæðan fyrir því að við myndum vilja hitta ykkur 13. júlí í Nauthólsvík.

Hvort sem þú ert Íslendingur eða ert í fríi á Íslandi -- bjóðum við þig velkomin að verja eftirmiðdeginum með öðrum "geokössurum" og skiptast á reynslu og hugmyndum.

Við byrjum klukkan 15:00 á hnitunum hér að ofan.

Afhverju "Geocaching á Íslandi"?


Ísland er ekki bara sérstakt land, heldur hefur landið mjög sérstaka "geocaches" (kassa)! Margir eigendur kassanna eiga ekki heima á Íslandi og geta því ekki haldið þeim við ef þörf er á. En Geocaching stækkar ört. Eftir því sem fleiri kassar eru hér á landi, verður mikilvægara að vernda viðkvæma náttúruna: fuglavörp, utanvegaakstur eða rusl í náttúrunni, til að nefna nokkur dæmi. Jafnvel fyrir Íslendinga getur náttúran verið hættuleg; sérstaklega í lengri ferðum er mikilvægt að þekkja reglurnar -- eða að minnsta kosti númerið hjá Neyðarlínunni.

Um Nauthólsvík

Þar sem við hittumst eru heitir pottar, setulaug (38 °C), hringlaga heitur pottur og lón (frá 18 °C til 20 °C). Opið er frá 10:00 til 19:00. Þetta er allt frítt. Einnig eru búningsherbergi og salerni. Að auki getum við notað grillaðstöðuna til að grilla pylsur eða hvað sem er. Verslunin á ströndinni ætti að selja pylsur og drykki. En að sjálfsögðu getið þið komið með ykkar eigið nesti, ef þið viljið. Athygli er vakin á því að notkun áfengra drykkja og reykingar eru bannaðar. Einnig eru hundar bannaðir á ströndinni!


Thank you very much!
