Geocache Description:

Reinslivatnet is popular for trout fishing and a nice place for "a day out". You can drive all the way up to the lake, but there is a NOK 25 fee for using the road. You can park right next to the cache.

Reinslivatnet collage

NORWEGIAN:

Reinslivatnet er ferskvannskilden til Lerøy sitt anlegg nede på Valsøybotn. Det er derfor det er rør og annet opplegg ikke langt fra cachen. Du kan også sende en tekstmelding til et nummer og få informasjon om vannets stand med mer, når du er her oppe. Informasjon om det står på stedet. Vannet er populær for ørretfiskere. Det er en og annen "storing" her, men sjansen for å få fisk er større enn sjansen for å få stor fisk. Det er også en stupebrygge midt ute i vannet. Den er fin å bruke, men vær forsiktig i mai/juni da det er et hissig måkepar som hekker der.

ENGLISH:

Reinslivatnet is the freshwater source for a fish preparation factory at "Valsøybotn" (Lerøy). That is why there are tubes and pipes running from this end of the lake and down towards the "bottom" of the fjord.

There is a floating diving board in the middle of this lake. It is a popular destination for people in summer, but be careful, in May/June there is a fairly aggressive couple of seagulls that nest out there. They WILL attack you.

Trout fishing is popular here as well. You can catch fairly big trout here, but remember to buy your fishing license. You can do so online or via text message. Information on how, is available where you pay your toll for driving up here.

Halsa

Halsa has it's pluses and minuses. Great nature. Beautiful scenery. Excellent hiking possibilities. Easy access to the main road along the Western coast (E39). Still, population is declining. Urbanization has hit Halsa harder than many other municipalities, even though people leaving for the cities is a problem in many rural areas in Norway.

Different areas of Halsa have very different identities. Valsøyfjord is an old industrial area and used to be the largest industrial centre in Møre & Romsdal county. Here, people from all over the world used to come to find work. The labour movement was very strong. Traditional boat building still stands strong here.
The other side of the Municipality (Halsa and Halsanaustan) was more proned to farming the land, land ownership and running timber industries. The labour movement was, therefore, not very strong here. One can still sense "remains" of that difference today.

Halsa is not spectacular at first glance (besides the scenery), but it is a very "honest" piece of rural Norway. And, as with most things, once you get to know the place, it actually is quite spectacular and has a very interesting history.

I therefore found making a kind of Halsa themed series was a fun cache project. There are/will be caches with short snippets of local history all over the municipality. At least one for each "grend" (village) and noticable site. If you are new to Norway, this example of a typical Norwegian municipality, everyday rural life and varied scenery, could make for an interesting experience and sightseeing.

Halsa has 1595 inhabitants and 300 sq. km. land mass, whereof 8 sq. km. is water. Halsa is also known for being the place where the world famous Killer whale "Keiko" swam to and stayed until he died some years ago.

The "Halsa" chapter in every cache decription will be identical.
