Johela#09 - Kristiansten festning Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Makuta Teridax: Hi

Two months ago I requested that the cache page was edited so that the links to the site starte.no were removed to avoid the browse pop-up asking for username and password. Due to lack of response from the owner, this cache is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If it hasn’t been done already, please check the location and pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner later wants the cache reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Makuta Teridax

Geocache Description:


 

Kristiansten festning


Fra Trondheim kommune sine web-sider:

"Festningsanlegget - som ligger på høydene øst for bykjernen - ble bygget etter den store bybrannen i 1681, og sto ferdig i 1684.

Kristiansten berget byen fra svensk erobring i 1718. Under den annen verdenskrig brukte tyskerne festningen som rettersted. En minnetavle over henrettede norske patrioter viser dette.

Fra Kristiansten er det god utsikt over Trondheim, fjorden og omegnen. Festningens porter er åpne så lenge flagget er oppe, men innvendige hus og rom er kun åpne i perioden juni - august. For info om åpningstider, billettpriser og omvisning ring telefon 7399 5285. Adgang til donjonen (forsvarstårnet) med omvisning.

Du kan også besøke festningens kafé. Den har følgende åpningstider: Juni og august: lørdag og søndag kl. 10 - 17. NB! I juli er kafeen åpen alle dager.

Kristiansten Fort


From the web pages of Trondheim kommune:

"This fort was built 1681-84 after the great city fire in 1681, and now proudly stands guard over the city centre. From its strategic high ground the fort played an important role in repelling invading Swedish forces in 1718, an interesting bit of history you can learn more about by visiting the fort.

From the fort, there is a spectacular view over Trondheim and its surroundings, the fjord and the mountains. Under the occupation from 1940 to 1945, the fort was used as a place of execution for Norwegian members of the Resistance. A plaque has been erected in their memory.

The cafeteria is open every day during the tourist season offering snacks and other refreshments.

The gates of the fort are open while the flag is raised, but the buildings and rooms inside are open only from June to August. Guided tours outside opening hours may be arranged."
