Geocache Description:

Take the Old Church Path, walk along the coast and you will come to a beautiful place with rocks with potholes formed by Ice Age and the sea.


Take the Old Church Path, walk along the coast and you will come to a beautiful place with rocks with potholes formed by Ice Age and the sea. There are some rocks to climb and on the path there might be ticks and vipers so watch your step and check the ticks after your hike.

The cache is on Stora Kummelskär. The rocks are Granite. The Granite has crystallised under high pressure, for example under a volcano. After that the granite went through strong transformation i.e. through a metamorphosis under high pressure and heat as the rock folded. The crystals were stretched and the layers were bent. This created the wavy shapes about 2 billion years ago. The ice river flowed here only about 12 000 years ago. Lisätietoa: merivesi nousee syksyllä ja talvella korkealle ja tuo usein mukanaan kaikenlaista roskaa, varsinkin muovia. Toivoisin että ottaisitte jonkun ylimääräisen kassin mukaan ja poimisitte roskia matkalla kätkölle ja takaisin, se ilahduttaisi minua kovasti, koska haluaisin että tämä saari (ja maailma ylipäänsä) olisi puhtaampi paikka meille kaikille. Kiitos etukäteen! Tilläggsinfo: havsvattnet stiger högt upp på stränderna på hösten och vintern och hämtar med sej en massa skräp; för det mesta e det plast. Jag skulle hoppas att ni som går till cachen skulle ta med er en extra plastpåse eller dyl. och plocka upp skräp på vägen ditt och tillbaka. Det skulle glädja mej mycket, för att jag skulle vilja att denna ö (och världen i allmänhet) skulle vara en renare plats för oss alla. Tack i förväg! Extra info: the sea water rises high on the sea shores in autumn and winter and brings up a lot of trash; for the mostly plastic. I would hope that you who go to the cache would bring an extra plastic bag or ie. and pick up trash on your way back and forth. I would be very happy, because I would like this island (and the world in general) to be a cleaner place for all of us. Thanks in advance!
