Geocache Description:

This is a cache series placed along the hiking/sking route "Prinsleden" as laid out in STF's magazine Turist  #1 - 2013.


Prinsleden - Kvilebu

Taking the route trough Djevlepasset may have you looking for some rest or even a nights sleep. Well you are in for a treat because just down the trail awaits the small 2-bed hut of Kvilebu. It is one of the Narvik og Omegn turist associations huts, unlocked and equipped with fireplace (make sure to restock with logs from the wood shed if you use some), gas stove for cooking and oil lamps. Very cozy! Just make sure to pay if you use the facility. The cache is placed behind some large rocks close to the hut at 851m elevation. 

Visit the NOT web site to find out more about this hut and others like it.

The hike then continues towards the next cache Prinsleden - Rr 263. On route you may also want to pick up the cache Bro (GC4GGFC) at  N68’12.348 E018’04.432 It is close to Čunojávrihytta.
