My 4-year old son helped me hide this cache, and he would very much like to see who finds it. We would be glad if you could please add a photo of yourself at the cache location :)
This cache is located near a cave which was built by the Germans during World War II (or most likely by Russian war prisoners). My guess is that they were going to build some kind of defense weapon in the cave. During the early years of the war, Hamnbukt was a strategically important place because of its designation as a port for seaplanes. Later, the Germans realized that the innermost part of the fjord would freeze during winter, and decided to move their seaplanes to Billefjord (some 20 kilometers further north). Maybe they abandoned their cave project because of this revelation?
When standing at the port, you can also see at least two more "holes" in the rock wall. These are pretty unacessible by foot, but they look a lot like cave entrances. I'm not sure what they are.
There is also the story about the German supply ship Argus, which was moored at Hamnbukt on August 13th, 1943. The ship was loaded with ammunition, and a fire broke out. The ship exploded, and at least 63 persons were killed. A few were civilians and war prisoners, but most of them were German soldiers and crew. The shipwreck still lies only 10 meters from the quay in Hamnbukt. A large part of the ship's bow landed in the mountain side after the explotion, and still lies there. You can find it less than 50 meters north of the cache location.
To this day, no-one knows wether it was sabotage or an accident.
