Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

Geocaches which have not been maintained or the owner has not responded will not be taken out of the archive

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

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:


Norwegian:
Gundersholmen Kystfort ved Kragerø er muligens helt fra 1600-tallet. Tre av kanonene på nordre bastion er fra 1700-tallet. De andre kanonene er fra første halvdel av 1800-tallet. På 1600- og 1700-tallet var det krig og ufred i Europa. Sjørøvere og fremmede krigsskip herjet langs våre kyster. Sjøvæpningen og borgervæpningen ble bygget opp for å beskytte befolkningen mot overgrep. Kystfortet Gundersholmen var et ledd i denne beskyttelsen. Samtidig var Kragerø et aktivt "lovlig" sjørøver-reir. Det ble drevet en utstrakt kaprertrafikk fra den nå så blide Sørlandsbyen.


English:
Gunnarsholmen Fort was probably built during 1700th century. Those to the north are from 1800th century, and the rest are from the 1900th century. First of all the fort was built to protect Kragerø from the English Navy and other pirates along the coast. Today they are used to fire a salute on our independence day, May 17.
