Geocache Description:


Far away cache. Long journey; best to be reached with a 4X4 car (a reasonabale gravelroad, but very very steep sometimes), or a very very long hike or bike travel.


The place of the stash itself is not difficult, only the journey is T3,5.


At the end of the world there once lived a troll named Ghurðunerhverna. She had greasy long black/grey hair and a big wart on her nose. Her only pleasures were to take away little children from their homes, scream so hard at night that men couldnt sleep, and letting woman drown in the river when doing their washing.

In the small village lived a big fisherman called Þorgeir, who at one night decided to take his axe and put an end to the terrorism of Ghurðunerhverna. Late that night Þorgeir came back home without his axe, but told the village people he had made an end to all this, and that he had buried her somewhere close to the shore.


Since that night all terrorism had stopped, but the next morning Þorgeir had disappeared, and since that night no one has ever seen Þorgeir no more. Some people believed that Ghurðunerhverna had put a spell upon Þorgeir before he could lift up his axe.


Years and years later some playing children found what seemed to be the rests of an old axe. The older people believed it to be the axe of the late Þorgeir, and buried the remains somewhere in the mountains.


Since that day one can here strange screams in the valley sometimes, and some people believe that in the old days Þorgeir had run of with Ghurðunerhverna, and that they still live somewhere in the mountains........


Please visit what Þorger said to be Ghurðunerhverna's grave, and maybe you will find out the truth about the tale!
