DK Der er mange måder at komme til cachen på, men vil du have en dejlig naturoplevelse ud af det, vil vi foreslå, at du starter ved N 62.01.598 W 006.46.218 (samme sted som til geocachen Boðanes) og går mod N 62.01.585 W 006.46.313. Her går en sti ind i det 300.000 m2 store naturfredede område. Følger du stien, vil du snart komme til at gå langs Hoydalsá, som er en af de største åer på Færøerne. Hoydalsá løber fra Villingadal, gennem Svartafoss og ud i Boðanes. Følg denne sti, frem til Svartafoss, og nyd naturen. Navnet “Svartafossur” betyder “sort vandfald”. Svartafoss har været nævnt i mange digte og er et yndet udflugtsmål. Mange brudepar får taget deres brudebillede her. Hav madpakken med. Der er borde og bænke lige i nærheden! Da det er et yndet udflugtsmål - husk at passe på “mugglers”. Cachen ligger i 2 plastikbeholdere.In GB.. There are many ways that you can get to the cache, but if you will have a nice view of the nature, we will suggest that you start at N 62.01.598 W 006.46.218 (the same spot as to the geocache Boðanes) and walk towards N 62.01.585 W 006.46.313.
