Geocache Description:

December 21. is the shortest day in the year, but it’s a happy day too. From this date the days will grow a bit longer every day and bring us nearer the summer. Let’s celebrate with a candlelight.


The cache is placed on a small island in a restored barn near an old pine.

In the summer the place is a part of a fishingpath where you can relax or protect you against the rain. It’s a good fishingplace but you have to release fish under 30 cm. Fishingcards for the period of 15.05 – 15.09. are available on the local Statoil gasstation.

In the winter here is low activity by humans but the wild animals are making a lot of prints in the snow. In case of late Cristmas-cards, it’s possible to make some excellent photos here. If you are lucky you can meet a small fellow with a red stocking cap too. He is very friendly but a little scared.

To reach the cache you can park by an Infosign pos. N 62° 29.547 E 11° 11.772. Follow the pointing fish and never walk on cultivated fields. Please, respect the private farmyard too. There is a little “footbridge” approx. at N 62° 29.763 E 11° 12.075 you can use.

In winter I prefere skies but snowshoes are a good alternative. Good luck!

WinterWinter available.


The cache is a 0,5 l plasticbox and contains an infosheet, a logbook, 2 pencil, a shapener, a cloth-clip, a keychain, a book and a survival tool
