DK Formål: Dette skal være en "let at finde" og "let at fremstille" geocache, da vi syntes at det er synd med en tom plads her, efter at Wolfsburgs geocache "Fladfisk" er archived.
EN Purpose: This shall be an "easy to find" and "easy to make" geocache, because we find it a pity with an "empty space" here, after Wolfsburg´s geocache "Fladfisk" has been archived.
DK Arken og broen: Denne bro syntes at have være en misforståelse fra starte. Da CO startede med windsurfing i 1982 satte vi vore windsurf-brædder i vandet der hvor broen nu har sin start.
Da kunstmuseet Arken blev færdig i 1996 havde de, der planlagde betonbyggeriet sikkert en romantisk ide om at "komme ind til Arken sejlende fra havet". Der blev i beton støbt en "akse" fra Arken og ned til der hvor broen starter. For enden af "aksen" blev så broen lavet, men vandet var ikke andet end ca 30-40 cm dybt, så broen skulle være lang. Vi windsurfere måtte så gå længere ud for at komme i vandet.
Der skete så det, som vi windsurfere bemærkede efter nogle få måneder: Der blev aflejret mudder og sand omkring bropillerne. Her i 2021 er der kun ca. 10 meter af den ca. 60 meter lange bro der har vand under sig, og vandet er så lavt, at ænderne der svømmer her skraber maven mod bunden. Vi har aldrig nogensinde set en båd lægge til ved broen.
Der er dog sket noget godt. Ishøj Kommune har lavet en instution Havhytten 50 meter derfra, hvor skoleklasser kommer ned og lærer om vand og hvad der lever i det. Ungerne får waders på og så går de ud i det lave vand med skrabe-net og fanger rejer og små fladfisk. Derfor navnet på Wolfburgs geocache.
Der var i øvrigt en anden "akse" der endte i vandet hvor nu Tempo Bådsalg nu har deres både liggende. Det var nogle måske 10 meter høje hvidmalede betonbuer der mindede om en romersk aquadukt. De tjente kun til siddeplads for mågerne, og de er heldigvis nu blevet fjernet, da de også her medførte aflejring af mudder i vandet.
EN Arken og broen: This bridge seems to have been a misunderstanding from the start. When CO started windsurfing in 1982, we put our windsurf boards in the water where the bridge has its start.
When the Arken Museum of art was compleeted in 1996, those who planned the concrete construction probably had the romantic idea of "comming to Arken sailing from the sea". An "axis" in concrete was cast from Arken to where the bridge starts, and at the end of the walk the bridge was made. The water was not deep, so the bridge had to be long. We windsurfers then had to go further away from the parking place to get our surfboards in the water.
Then happened what we windsurfers saw after a few months: Mud and sand was deposited around the bridge piers. Here in 2021 there is only approx. 10 meters of the approx. 60 meters long bridge has water under, and the water is so low that the ducks which swim here scrap the belly at the sea-bed.
However something good has happened. Ishøj Municipality has made an institution "Havhytten" nearby, where school classes come to learn about water and what lives in it. The children gets waders on and they go out in the shallow water with nets to catch schrimps and small flatfish. Hence the name of Wolfburg´s geocache Fladfisk.
There was also an other "Axis" from Arken ending in the water where Tempo Boat Sales now has their boats. It was some maybe 10 meters high white painted concrete arches that reminded of a Roman Aqueduct. They only served as seat for the gulls, and fortunately they have been remooved as they caused to deposit mud in the water.
Om cachen: Cachebeholderen er en bison. Den tages fra oversiden af broen.
About the cache: The cache case is a Bison. It is taken from the upper side of the bridge.
