The cache is located near a flat stone used by German gebirgsjägers during the German occupation of Norway in the second world war.
The breakfast stone
Gebirgsjägers is the term used for light infantry in alpine or mountain units. The soldiers have written their regiment number and an edelweiss on a stone close to the table. The edelweiss was the gebirgsjägers’insignia. These German troops were stationed in the area the summer of 1942 preparing for their upcoming operations in the Caucasia.
The stone with edelweiss, numbers and 1942
