Usually when geocaching, you get to see new and interesting
places you probably would not have seen otherwise, and that is one
of the great things about this hobby. But what if you are short of
time when visiting a new town, and want to see the main tourist
attractions and do some geocaching as well?
In Stockholm the On the Tourist Trail (OTTT) –
series of caches could be the answer. These seven caches (plus one
bonus mystery) are all hidden next to main tourist attractions, all
on the Top-ten list of most visited places in town. The OTTT-caches
are all traditionals, the stashes are 0,4 l ”Lock and
Lock”-boxes with enough room for small trading items, and
they should not be too hard to find.
The caches are:
OTTT #1 – City Hall,
OTTT #2 – Changing of the Guard,
OTTT #3 – Sightseeing,
OTTT #4 – Museum of Modern Art,
OTTT #5 – Vasa,
OTTT #6 – Skansen,
OTTT #7 – Fjällgatan and the bonus
mysteryOTTT
#8 – Bulls Eye.
Fjällgatan
From here you have one of the best views of Stockholm, don't miss
to bring your camera. If life gets to busy out On the Tourist
Trail, you can rest for a while in the quiet little garden at N 59°
19.028, E 018° 05.162. Or, during summer, have a cup of coffe at
the outdoor café nearby.
Note: The satellite reception is not to good at this
spot, so the coordinates are probably slightly off within a few
meters. The cache has been muggled several times, so please be very
stealthy while searching, and hide the box well after logging,
thanks.
