Geocache Description:


Nice walk from Fosnstraumen bridge: After about 350 metres, the path diverts, keep right. The trail can sometimes be a litle bit wet, so i recommend rubberboots for this trip. There are also other trails to the place. Look at the map for this trails. The place and the cache is close to the sea, so navicaching is also possible.

Hoplandskvernene: ”Hoplandskvernene” are old mills that have been restored in the early 70’s. Old documents suggests that there have been mills on this site back to 15’th century. The arrangement consists of two mills connected to each other via a stone-aqueduct, taking energy from a small river that has a sudden drop of approximately 2-3 metres on this site. The mills are situated with easy access to the sea. This was important due to the fact that boats were used for almost all transportation of goods and people between the many islands in this region.
