Fjord View Drive-in - ag#3 Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

Geocaches which have not been maintained or the owner has not responded will not be taken out of the archive

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

Located close to a parking lot with a great view to a wide section of the Hardanger Fjord.

The parking lot is mostly used by workers at Bjølvefossen AS. The factory is utilizing hydropower to produce ferro-silicon alloys.

Most of the houses in Ålvik were actually designed and built by the company to provide homes for the workers. If you are interested in architecture the whole village is worth a closer look.

You will also find a small park area and a nice fishing/bathing site (N60 25.757 E6 25.876) closer to the sea. A swim here is highly recommended when weather permits.

The location is a common playground for small mugglers - so the cache is well hidden (not visible). Please make sure to cover it well when you put it back. Also please take care to close the box properly - the hiding place may get quite wet during heavy rain.

Contains logbook, pencil, sharpener and some trading stuff.
