Geocache Description:

Get off the T-bane at Tasen or Osthorn (Sognsvann line)and head North. Follow the path into the woods.

The cache is hidden in a little patch of forest overlooking the northern suburbs of Oslo. You can see the remains of some military type buildings (one is dated 1940). I am told that this area was some sort of German fortification, maybe an anti-aircraft battery, during the occupation in WWII - hence the name.

The only army here today are ants - so watch were you sit. Look out for the red squirrels who seem very curious of visitors and frequently visit the gardens of nearby houses.

To find the cache, stand on a large, flat red stone. If you are in the right place you should (just)have a clear, unobstructed view of both the TV tower, and the ski jump at Holmenkollen
