sunevdj: Området bliver lavet helt om for tiden...
Step to og tre er hhv. væk eller ikke til at komme til.
Åbenbart skal der være strandpark i området.
Beklager at nogen af Jer har måttet gå forgæves.
Vi har fjernet cachen, måske andre har lyst til at lave en ny cache derude når byggeriet er færdigt.

Geocache Description:

Stubben is a beautiful and wild area very close to the centre of Copenhagen. The area seems almost forgotten by the City Council and we really enjoy the clash between the concrete and iron constructions and the nature which seems to be taking over.


The 20 elements for the tunnel under Øresund were made in the area enclosed by embankments. After finishing two elements, the enclosed area was flooded and the elements were towed out into Øresund.
Each element is 176 meters long 38.8 meters wide, 22 meters tall and weighs 55.000 tons. You can still see a lot of rusty signs from when Stubben was a busy construction site.

Stubben is also very interesting because of the possibility to see rare birds a short distance away from Copenhagen. When the birds are migrating, Stubben is a natural place for them to stop for a rest and all year around interesting birds are here. 217 species of birds have been seen here including species rarely seen in Denmark, and you are almost certain to see many birds as pipits, snow bunting, cranes, hen harrier, larks and many waterfowl depending on the season.



Step 1
Start at N55º 43.363 E012º 36.567
Count the big stones in the centre of the roundabout: A


Step 2
N55º 43.0(A+1)
E012º 37.(A+26)0

Find a stone with an inscription.
The number of letters in the inscription: B
The number of “E”s in the inscription: C


Step 3
N55º 42.(B)(C+72)
E012º 37.0(A*7)

Here you need to count how many steps (D) you inadvertently would take crossing the bigger part of this construction (including the first step).


Step 4
The cache is hidden at:

N55º 42.(B-2)(46+D)
E012º 37.(C+1)(D+4)


The cache is a small plastic box containing FFC, a notebook and a few items for swapping.

NOTE: If you are scared of heights, this might not be the cache for you.

ALSO NOTE: Stubben is quite unkept and contains some dangerous areas. Children should be accompanied by an adult at all times.
