**ENGLISH DESCRIPTION BELOW**
Oplev tre farverige steder på Christianshavn
Bydelen Christianshavn er et farverigt sted med alle slags mennesker og masser af historie. Vi har flere kendte seværdigheder, hvor en tur ind på Christiania eller til tops i Vor Frelser Kirke nok hører til de mest populære, men her er også andre mindre kendte steder, som er værd at lægge mærke til.
Du skal besøge tre af disse steder og tage et billede hvert sted for at kunne logge denne cache:
Start: Grifferne i Overgaden oven Vandet
Ved startkoordinaterne skal du finde nogle flot bemalede gelændere.
Ejeren af det lille værksted ud til kanalen har dekoreret gelænder-grifferne til sin indgang på flotteste vis, og han giver dem en opfriskning hvert forår, så det altid er en fornøjelse at beskue dem, når man kommer forbi.
I et af værkstedets vinduer kan man desuden se de fire øverste trin fra Vor Frelser Kirkes tårn, som er givet som belønning for noget arbejde på tårnet i forbindelse med en restaurering.
Tag et billede af dig selv, din GPS eller noget med dit geocachernavn på sammen med grifferne.
WP2: Det dekorerede hus i Sofiegade
I Sofiegade ligger der et smukt dekoreret hus, som stammer tilbage fra år 1783.
Huset har adressen Sofiegade 4, og det huser i dag Galerie Helth, som handler med kunst af blandt andre Henry Heerup, Asger Jorn, Jørgen Nash og Andy Warhol samt en del mindre kendte men interessante kunstnere.
Den flotte facade, der altid er opløftende at passere, er malet af kunstneren Tina Sonnichsen, hvis kunst man også kan finde i Galerie Helths katalog.
Tag et billede af dig selv, din GPS eller noget med dit geocachernavn på sammen med huset.
WP3: Will Eisners "Det flyvende menneske" gavlmaleri
Den amerikanske tegneserieforfatter Will Eisner (1917-2005), som er bedst kendt for sine fantastiske, farverige og morsomme tegneserier om The Spirit, besøgte Danmark flere gange i forbindelse med workshops, tv-udsendelser, udstillinger af egne værker og foredrag.
I 1995 udsmykkede Københavns Kommunes Gavlkomite i samarbejde med Will Eisner gavlen på hjørnet af Torvegade og Christianshavns Voldgade med et motiv, der er hentet fra en atypisk Spirit tegneserie fra 1948 kaldet "Himmelflugt", hvor helten The Spirit nærmest er en bifigur i historien om Gerhard Schnobbel, som opdager, at han kan flyve.
Det er en af mine (og Will Eisners) yndlingshistorier med The Spirit, og du kan læse mere om gavlmaleriet og historien om Gerhard Schnobbel hos Christianshavns Lokalhistoriske Arkiv, og ellers kan jeg anbefale selv at læse den og mange andre tegneserier om The Spirit..
Tag et billede af dig selv, din GPS eller noget med dit geocachernavn på sammen med gavlmaleriet.
LOGNINGSKRAV: Tag et billede hvert af de tre steder, hvor du, din GPS eller noget med dit geocachernavn optræder og upload dem sammen med din log. Logninger, der ikke opfylder kravet, vil blive slettet.
Note: Mangler du en app, der kan lave en collage af de tre billeder til upload i den officielle Geocaching App sammen med din logning, kan jeg anbefale Photo Collage Editor fra MeiHillMan eller lignende til Android smartphones og Collage Maker eller lignende til iPhone.
ENGLISH
Experience three colorful places on Christianshavn
The neighbourhood of Christianshavn is a very colorful place with all kinds of people and a rich history. It features several very well known tourist attractions, where a trip into the Freetown of Christiania and a climb to the top of Our Savior's Church are among the most popular, but we have other hidden gems that are worth searching out.
You will be guided to three such places and have to take a picture at each location in order to log this cache:
Start: The griffins in Overgaden oven Vandet
At the start coordinates you will find some colorfully decorated railings.
The owner of the little workshop facing the canal has decorated the railing griffins for his small staircase in a very colorful and decorative way and each spring he gives them a touch up to make sure they always look shiny and fresh, which is a great joy when you happen to pass by.
Incidentally, in one of the workshop windows you can see the top four steps from the tower of Our Savior's Church, which he got as payment for some work he did during one of the restorations.
Take a picture of yourself, your GPS or something with your Geocaching name on it in front of the griffins.
WP2: The decorated house in Sofiegade
In Sofiegade (Sophie Street) is a beautifully decorated house, which was built as far back as 1783.
The house is located at Sofiegade 4 and it is occupied by the Helth Art Gallery, where you can find art by artists such as Henry Heerup, Asger Jorn, Jørgen Nash and Andy Warhol plus some lesser known but interesting artists.
The beautiful front of the house is created by the artist Tina Sonnichsen, who also sells her art at Helth Art Gallery, and it always brightens up your day when you pass by this house.
Take a picture of yourself, your GPS or something with your Geocaching name on it in front of the house.
WP3: Will Eisner's mural of Gerhard Shnobble - The Man Who Could Fly
The American cartoonist Will Eisner (1917-2005), who is best known for his great, colorful and funny comic books about The Spirit, visited Denmark multiple times in connection with workshops, TV appearances, exhibitions of his work and lectures.
The City of Copenhagen worked together with Will Eisner in 1995 to decorate the gable on the corner of Torvegade and Christianshavns Voldgade with a motive from a very atypical Spirit story from 1948, where The Spirit is reduced to a secondary character in the story of Gerhard Shnobble - The Man Who Could Fly.
That short story is one of mine (and Will Eisner's) favorite stories from The Spirit universe, and I can only recommend that you seek it out along with other stories about The Spirit.
Take a picture of yourself, your GPS or something with your Geocaching name on it in front of the mural.
LOGGING REQUIREMENTS: Take a picture each of the three places where you, your GPS or something with your Geocaching name on appear and upload the pictures with your log. Logs without the required pictures will be deleted.
Note: If you need an app, that can make a collage of the three pictures to upload in the official Geocaching App along with your log, I can recommend Photo Collage Editor from MeiHillMan or similar for Android smartphones and Collage Maker or similar for iPhone.
