Geocache Description:

The cache is located close to the regulated waterfall Rykenefossen.

Coordinates and hint changed 25.05.05

Opplevelsen av denne cachen avhenger av hvor åpen dammen er. Er den stengt kan du beundre demningen, og dens hydraulisk styrte porter i detalj. Er en eller flere av portene åpne, får du se en flott og buldrende foss. Navnet Rykene kommer selvsagt av den rykende fossen. På andre siden av elven ser du tremassefabrikken Rygene Smith & Thommessen. I elven kan du også finne en laksetrapp.

ADVARSEL!
Gå ikke ut i elven selv om den er bortimot tørr. Demningen kan åpne uten forvarsel. Følg skilting!


How you experience this cache, depends on how open the dam is. Are the gates closed, you can study the construction, and the hydraulic gates in detail. Are one or more open, you will get a nice and roaring waterfall. The name Rykene means "smoking", and of course comes from the waterfall. On the other side you can see the cellulose-plant Rygene Smith & Thommesen. In the river you can also find a salmon-ladder

CAUTION!
Do not walk down to the riverbank even if the river seems dry. The gates of the dam can open with no warning. Follow the signs.
