A view from the "Eagle's Nest" Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Cervis Venator

Geocache Description:

Placed during a holiday to my cousin here in Asker, Andrew will maintain the cache for me, however if you find a need to do some maintenance, in the spirit of the game, please feel free to do so. Cache On!!! Congrats to missVollen on the FTF award!!!

Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling (Norwegian 18 July 1887 – 24 October 1945) was a Norwegian military officer and politician, mostly known as the nominal head of government of Norway after the country was occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II.
 
Quisling modelled this location after “Kehlsteinhaus”, "Hitlers Eagles Nest” for this superior vantage point overlooking the Oslo Fjord.
 
On 9 April 1940, with the German invasion of Norway in progress, he attempted to seize power in the world's first radio-broadcast coup d'état, but failed after the Germans refused to support his government.
 
Quisling was put on trial during the legal purge in Norway after World War II and found guilty of charges including embezzlement, murder and high treason. He was executed by firing squad at Akershus Fortress, Oslo, on 24 October 1945. The word "quisling" has since become a synonym for "collaborationist" or "traitor", an allusion to the very poor light in which Quisling's actions were seen both at the time and after his death.
 
Take some time to appreciate the stunning views….
 
Please beware of muggles and replace as found and replace the folage to ensure the cache remains hidden.
