Geocache Description:


Wik castle is one of Sweden's best preserved medieval fortresses and could easily be the setting for a Dracula movie.

Start at the car park ( N 59° 44,245 and E 17° 27,700) and take the path behind the castle, (between the castle and lake) and follow the walk through the Wik Nature Park. This park is partly financed by the WWF. The cache is about one kilometre along the way, but if you have time complete the whole 3 km walk. It is well worth the effort.

Rumour has it that Wik Castle is still at war with England as the owner during the Thirty Years War (1618 - 1648) refused to sign the peace treaty!

************************

Wiks slott är en av Sveriges bäst bevarade medeltidsborgar.

Börja vid bilparkeringen (N 59° 44,245 och E 17° 27,700) och ta strandvägen nedanför slottet och följ sedan promenadstigen genom Wiks naturpark. Denna park finansieras delvis av Världsnaturfonden. Cachen ligger ca 1 kilometer utefter stigen. Om Du har tid så gå gärna runt den 3 km långa promenaden. Det är väl värt besväret.

Enligt obekräftade källor lär Wiks slott ännu i denna dag vara i krig mot England, eftersom ägaren under 30-åriga kriget vägrade att skriva under fredsavtalet!!??

PLEASE PUT THE LID ON SECURELY SO THAT THE CONTAINER DOES NOT LET IN WATER!
