Geocache Description:


Hammarö sydspets. 
A genuine example of the Vänern coastline and part of the Vänerskärgården Nature Reserv. 
This bird preservation area attracts more than 20,000 visitors every year.
No surprise as this easy to reach and mostly unexploited area offers a lot. 
Even if you are not into birdwatching.

Next to some hiking trails and shelters where you can enjoy a view over the biggest lake in Sweden, this little peninsula also has a lighthouse known as "Skage Fyr".
Skage Lighthouse was, as most lighthouses, build to warn seafarers about the treacherous rocks in the water, also known as Grisskären, but got shut down in the 1930's.

Up until today one could find some traditional caches in the area.
And as of now there is also a multi-cache.
This one!
How to get to it? 
Well, just go to the different stages, answer the questions and put them into the formula.
It's as simple as that!

The cache is a camouflaged PET-tube.
Bring your own pen!!
And beware of mugglers!

Ok, here goes...

At stage 1, the starting point, you will see a big info sign.
How many birds species have been registered up until 2009?
The answer gives you AAA.

Stage 2 leads you to the bird watching tower.
Inside, ground level, you will see 2 signs with info.
One of them, "Fåglar vid Hammarö Sydspets", has a picture of 4 metal bird rings that help identifying the birds.
The last 2 numbers on the largest ring will give you CC.

Stage 3 will lead you to a small sign that has info about the lighthouse.
You will see that it was build by a company in 1872.
How many words are in the name of the company? The answer will give you B

Fill your answers in to this formula:

N 59 15.AAA    E 13 30.BCC

 

Good luck!
