Geocache Description:

The cache is placed to a scenic spot in the northwestern corner of lake Haukkalampi. It should be approached from Hawk's Run walking route (Haukankierros). Leave the route at N 60°18.635' E 024°30.197'.

Cache is in a national park. Please observe the regulations.

Hawk's Run is a very popular circular walk for visitors in Nuuksio National Park.
Check out the website for information on nature, trails, services, instructions, rules etc.

You won't be alone in this area in sunny afternoon weekends. However, the cache is placed in a bit more challenging terrain, so you should be able to search it without disturbance. No special equipment is needed, but it's better to be sure-footed here.

Cache was originally placed so that the best approach was from the top. In October 2013 a sharp-eyed fellow cacher spotted the box near waterfront and rescued it. In addition they found an other hiding place closer to the lake. Cache resided there for 8 months until I got there to check the situation. It was actually a better place with less treacherous climbing, thus I chose to leave cache there and adjust the coordinates.

You don't need to remove anything to reach for the box. Don't push it too far. Container is a ½ litre Tupperware.
