Geocache Description:

Viewpoint north of Horten.

The cache is hidden on one of the gun sites that was built as a land defence for the naval base in Horten during the political turbulent time before Norway ended the union with Sweden. The artillery was under plain Norwegian command, and not under the Norwegian-Swedish king like the rest of the military forces. For further info about the site see the link (sorry - in Norwegian only) : History


The area is popular for recreational hiking, nice bike-trip.

Park at : N 59 26.054 E 10 26.627 and walk (or ride a bike) into the bushes, keep left just after entering the woods.

You could also park at the public school. Find the forest road by the ski-jumping “arena”.

Alternatively follow this suggested walk (sorry norwegian only) : Roundtrip

Cache is an icecream box in a green plastic bag.

Original content :
Sunglasses
Fishing lure
Football card
Post-it notes
