Beskrivelse på dansk og på engelsk nedenunder. Description in Danish and English below.
På koordinatet for denne virtuelle cache står du så du kan se tre markante ting. Vælg hvilken du vil bruge til din logning eller brug alle tre.
Helsingør jernbanestaion
Den smukke nuværende Helsingør station blev taget i brug den 24. oktober 1891. Dengang ønskede man at markere den som Danmarks port til det øvrige Norden. Stationen blev derfor udført i et højt kvalitetsniveau og er et arkitektonisk monument for sin tid.
Kystbanen blev åbnet i 1897. Desuden anvender toget Lille Nord til/fra Hillerød og Hornbæk-Gilleleje banen stationen.
Stationsbygningen er ganske bemærkelsesværdig, idet den er opført i "Rosenborg-stil". Stationen er tegnet N.P.C. Holsøe og Heinrich Wenck. Helsingør Station hviler på 1600 pæle, som er hamret ned i havbunden, og på disse pæle er der så støbt et fundament. Af stationens indre skal navnlig bemærkes forhallen. Lokalerne ud mod Øresund– hvor der i dag er restaurant – var oprindeligt indrettet som kongelig ventesal.
Færgeterminalen – som den er i dag - blev påbygget i 1991, indtil da blev personvogne overført med færgerne til Helsingborg
Hovedbygningen inkl. perrontagene blev fredet i 1990.
Foran den flotte stationsbygning står Hamlet og Ophelia, to statuer lavet af Rudolph Tegner og opsat på dette sted den 12. december 2008.
Toldkammeret
Overfor stationen ligger Toldkammeret, også en statelig og mægtig bygning, der optager en hel karré.
Toldkammeret blev indviet den 16. november 1891 og brugt af Toldvæsenet frem til 1976. I 1989 blev Toldkammeret omdannet til den selvejende institution, Kulturhuset Toldkammeret. Anlægget blev i første omgang fredet i 1979 uden hegnsmuren, men i 1997 blev fredningen udvidet til at omfatte muren og den tilknyttede lille bygning, der ligger op ad muren og gårdspladsen med dens belægning.
Indgangspartiet er tydeliggjort med en høj, gennembrudt balustrade med teksten: "KGL. TOLDKAMMER" øverst over porten.
Nu anvendes bygningen bl.a. til musikarrangementer og rum til byens børnekulturcenter, Spisekammeret og mødefaciliteter, ligesom administration til Helsingør Teater og Helsingør Pigegarde holder til i bygningen.
Sveasøjlen
Foran Toldkammeret står Sveasøjlen. Søjlen er rejst til erindring om besættelsestiden 1940-45, Sveriges indsats for flygtninge, der kom til landet over Øresund, og til minde om frihedsdagen den 5. maj 1945, da den danske brigade kom til Helsingør fra Sverige.
Den 11,75 meter høje Sveasøjle blev afsløret den 21. dec. 1947. Den består af en lysende søjle, der er sammensat af 11 kobbersøjler udført på Helsingør Værft med et kapitæl (søjlehoved) af bronze. Indvendigt i søjlen er opsat elektriske installationer/lamper, der gør at der er lys i søjlen, når det er mørkt. Sveasøjlen står på en firkantet sokkel af svensk granit med en inskription forfattet af borgmester Peder Christensen.

On the coordinate of this virtual cache, you stand so that you can see three significant things. Choose which one you want to use for your logging or use all three.
Elsinore railwaystaion
The beautiful current Helsingør station was put into use on 24 October 1891. At the time, they wanted to mark it as Denmark's gateway to the rest of the Nordic region. The station was therefore built to a high level of quality and is an architectural monument for its time.
The coastal railway was opened in 1897. In addition, the Lille Nord train to/from Hillerød and the Hornbæk-Gilleleje line uses the station.
The railway station building is quite remarkable in that it is built in the 'Rosenborg style'. The station was designed by N.P.C. Holsøe and Heinrich Wenck. Elsinore Railway Station rests on 1600 piles, which are hammered into the seabed, and on these piles a foundation is cast. Of the interior of the station, special mention should be made of the vestibule. The premises facing Øresund – where today there is a restaurant – were originally designed as a royal waiting room.
The ferry terminal – as it is today – was built in 1991, until then passenger cars were transferred with the ferries to Helsingborg.
The main building, including the platform roofs, was listed in 1990.
In front of the mighty station building stand Hamlet and Ophelia, two statues made by Rudolph Tegner and erected on this site on December 12, 2008.
Customs Chamber
Opposite the station is the Customs Chamber, also a stately and mighty building occupying an entire block.
The Customs Chamber was inaugurated on 16 November 1891 and used by the Customs Service until 1976. In 1989, the Customs Chamber was transformed into the self-governing institution, the Culture House “Toldkammeret” The facility was initially listed in 1979 without the fence wall, but in 1997 the preservation was extended to include the wall and the associated small building adjacent to the wall and courtyard with its coating.
The entrance area is clarified with a tall, openwork balustrade with the text: "KGL. TOLDKAMMER" above the gate.
Now the building is used for music events and rooms for the city's children's cultural center, the pantry and meeting facilities, just as administration for Elsinore Theatre and Elsinore Girl´s guard is located in the building.
The Svea column
In front of the Customs Chamber stands the Svea Column. The column is erected in memory of the occupation period 1940-45, Sweden's efforts for refugees who came to the country across the Sound, and in memory of Freedom Day on 5 May 1945, when the Danish brigade came to Elsinore from Sweden.
The 11.75-metre-high Svea Column was unveiled on Dec. 21, 1947. It consists of a luminous column composed of 11 copper columns made at Elsinore Shipyard with a capital (column head) of bronze.
Inside the Svea column are installed electrical installations/lamps that make there is light in the column when it is dark. The Svea column stands on a square plinth of Swedish granite with an inscription authored by Mayor Peder Christensen.
Logging requirements:
