Geocache Description:

Update 2023: Gjerde satt opp med port rett ved cachen - LUKK DEN GODT ETTER DEG! New fence with opening right by the cache - LOCK IT SECURELY WHEN YOU LEAVE! Original text from 2005: A themed cache for euro coins hidden near Sognsvann (original, no place for coins now). This well known area gives lots of possibilities for swimming, hiking, running and cycling. The hiding place is NOT guaranteed winter resistant. BRING YOUR OWN PEN and please place the cache as you found it. Thanks :)

Cachen er adoptert av Whoelse som nå vedlikeholder den. Mer at den IKKE er vintersikker med slike vintre vi har nå. Derfor har jeg lagt til atributtet "IKKE VINTERSIKKER". Jeg ønsker å beholde den originale plassen og endre minst mulig, så derfor forblir den ikke vintersikker - og ta med pen. Og det er dessverre ikke plass til Euro lenger da jeg har måttet gå over til en mindre beholder for at boksen ikke skal bli oppdaget av de mange som passerer her.


The original owners of this cache, The Fossum Feus, were eager cachers in the early days of geocaching in Norway. However they left Norway and went back to the Netherlands, so the cache was adopted by whoelse in 2006 with the intent to keep it as original as possible.

Original description: The cache contains 12 coins: 11 Dutch ’dubbeltjes’ which are the old 10 cents coins from the Netherlands before the introducing of the euro and 1 Dutch 10 eurocent. We hope the other 11 ’dubbeltjes’ will be trade for eurocent coins from the other 11 euro countries. There is no logbook in the cache, so please log your visit online and give information about your trade.Contents at 22 april 2004:10 cents from The Netherlands20 cents from Greece50 cents from Germany1 euro coin (2x), 10 cents and 2 cents from Spain1 euro coin from Ireland2 euro coin from ItalyAnd the Dutch dubbeltjesAt Sognsvann, it is even possible to participate in a running event.... From Easter to the middle of October, every Wednesdays at 18:00 there is a running event around the lake called ’Sognsvann Rundt Medsols’. This is a running event for everyone, no competition, just to (start to) keep yourself fit. So you are invited to join with or without GPS (www.kondis.no).You can start your hunt from Sognsvann T-banen station (endpoint line 3). --- The cache now has a logsheet as prescribed by geocaching.com so please sign the log and happy hunting!
