The cache is placed at a bridge over Akerselva, 20 meters above sea-level: Aamodt Bru. This beautiful construction was buildt in 1855, originally in Åmodt, in Modum County. It was moved to Akerselva in 1958, to form the entrance to the Norwegian Technical Museum. However, the museum was after all placed at Kjelsås, where Akerselva starts its journey from Maridalsvannet and into the Oslo Fjord.
/ Plassert på Aamodt Bru over Akerselva. Broen ble opprinnelig bygget i 1855 over Snarumselva i Åmodt (Modum kommune, Buskerud). Der ble den demontert i 1952, flyttet hit i 1958 og satt opp i 1962. Den skulle inngå i Teknisk Museum, som var planlagt plassert her. Men museet havnet på Kjelsås, der Akerselva renner ut av Maridalsvannet. Broen er Norges eldste smidde kjedebro. Den ble senest restaurert i 1994, nåværende utførelse er tilnærmet identisk med broens opprinnelige form.
