Geocache Description:


Can you solve the runic riddle to find The Draugr's Chest?

 photo scan0001_zps4c44e9dd.jpg


In Nordic mythology a draugr is a Viking who is brought back from the dead through Seidr (magic). Draugrs were risen in order to enact revenge upon a wrongdoer or to protect ancestral barrows filled with the remains of passed kinsman and their wealth. It is also not uncommon for a draugr to wander off and roam the lands as a walking corpse bringing with it bad omens as it leaves the buried or hidden wealth vulnerable.

The runic scroll before you hides within its writing the location of a draugr's hidden cache. Can you solve this riddle and have what it takes to find it?

Ha en morsom jakten!


  • Assume N 44° and W 093°
  • The cache IS hidden in the Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve. The hours of operation are from 05:00 - 22:00. Please observe all rules of the park while venturing to this hide.
  • I've added a few waypoints for your convenience in regard to parking and trailheads. 
  • Please, rehide the cache as you found it. 
  • Take care when trying to open the container. It may "stick" and seem difficult to open so don't force it open. It will open with a little patience. You'll see why when you find the container.
  • This cache has a simple rule - if you take something from The Draugr's Chest you must replace it with another item. This keeps the cycle going with swag and TBs.
