Geocache Description:

Welcome to the cache Trollsåsen (Troll Mountain). It's on a little mountain with a great view. There is one easy way to this cache, and a lot more that's hard. Your choice. The short one is about 150m to walk, not including the climb.


VIEW FROM TROLLSÅSEN


There is a legend about Trollsåsen: The trolls lived in Trollsåsen. Once they quarreled about who shoud possess Bragdøya (the island at N58 07.110 E007 59.260). They agreed to throw rocks. The one to throw longest should have the island.

The first to throw was the Auglangstroll. The rock landed near Storenes and is today known as Krabbeskjær (Crab Skerry). The second was the Voietroll. He threw a little longer. The rock was later called Kaga.

But Kjosetrollet won. He trew almost to Bragøya and today we call the rock Kjoseneven (the fist of Kjose).


Do not bring small children to this cache! Here is a big drop-off on most sides on this cache, and bring some water.


Had to move the hiding point as some "GeoGumps" had found it and removed it. The new hidig point is, let's say, more of a challenge, and please, be very aware if trying this at wintertime..
