Geocache Description:

The Saqqaq valley stretches from Saqqaq village and almost all the way north towards lake Saqqaq Tasersua.

Standing at the cache location and looking south you have an superb view over Saqqaq, Sullorsuaq Strait and Disko island.

Turn 180° facing north and you will se an complete other landscape with a lot of mountains. Like the mountain with the orange spot on the right side of the picture below. That mountain is called point 1160, or livets topp / life peak.

Looking strait north you will see an strange formation about 5 km away. That is point 365 also known as slottet / the castle. This is an volcanic area where the erosion has made the basalt formations to look like castle walls.

Getting here

The walk from Saqqaq to the cache locations is approximate 3 km long. There is no big obstacles or fords, but a lot of marshlands to pass.
At an normal/slow pace the round-trip will take about 3 hours. Excluding time for rest, photo or just enjoying the silence and environment.
