Geocache Description:

If you go all the way, it will take you about 2 hours to walk this path, allthough - the cache is not far from the stone quarry above Lamba. The level og the cache is about 157 m.

This cache is placed on a path, where you can walk from the hills above Lamba to Rituvík – or the other way. The walk will take 1,5 to 2 hours, depending on if the walk includes the part between the stone quarry and the village Lamba or not.

While walking, you will get up to the hight of about 243 and get a panoramic view over Lambavík.

The Danish ship Norske Løve got stranded here on New Year’s Eve 1707. It was on its way to the East Indies and a storm came upon them when they were west of the Hebrides. From there they were driven to the Faroes. The next day, there was no trace of the Norske Løve.

Some things from the ship can, however, still be seen today. The ship’s clock and a model of the ship, which one of the crew made, hang in the cathedral Havnar Kirkja in Tórshavn. There were also two planks from the ship. One of them is found in a farmer’s house in Lamba, and a chair is in the local museum Blásastova in Norðragøta.

The cache is a glass-pot, about 1 ltr. put in a black plastiv back.
