This cache at Voksenkollen gives you a glimpse of the "Kongsseteren", the place where the royal family of Norway celebrates Christmas. The theme of the cache is royalty.
PLEASE NOTE: The cache has a royalty-themed logbook. Please place the logbook at the bottom of the box after logging, so that the royals can enjoy the view from this alternate cabin.
A blue-marked path leads from Voksenkollen station at T-banen route no. 1, to the statue of mr. Krag along Voksenkollveien. The cache is not far away from this path.
Kongsseteren was a gift from the people of Norway to king Haakon VII and queen Maud in connection with their crowning in the early 20th century.
The Royal Family's Website says: "The lodge has mainly been used during the winter; the Royal Family celebrates Christmas here and spends a week at the lodge in connection with the annual ski-jumping contest at nearby Holmenkollen. In the last few years it has been used in spring and autumn as well." (www.kongehuset.no)
