Heggelielva runs into Sørkedalselva at Åmot, 200 meters northeast of the Sørkedalen church.
Sørkedalselva ends in Bogstadvannet lake, from which the river Lysakerelva starts its journey into the Oslo Fjord.
The cache is hidden at a dramatic section of the river, called Gryta (=the Kettle). Go there in spring, when it's full of 'boiling' water.
Be aware of the precipices, keep kids away from the edge!

The installation is quite risky, for being so close to the cliff edge (4 meters) and exposed to possible geomugglers. But this way of 'hiding' it, may make it possible to find even in winter.
See the pictures!
There are good gravel roads on both sides of the river, and they meet at a bridge very close to the cache. We recommend the one on the north side, but a round trip makes you see both. Very fine for biking! And good skiing in winter.
