Sorø

Next location: Sorø on the island Sjaelland, we arrived here yesterday.
Our motor home was parked at a beautiful spot on the camping site overlooking the lake.
The dogs needed to stretch their legs after the drive, and a short multi-cache (GC1KVBZ - Sorø Natur #3) was hidden within 1 KM from the camping site so I took the bears and walked over there.

Here the bears are posing at the statue with the needed information.

Logged it at 15:40.

The view from the cache site was worth it.

I continued the walk and we walked around the lake and then returned back to the motor home for some coffee. The view on the lake and surrounding areas are beautiful.

In the early evening we went for another walk in a forest nearby, it was a traditional cache (GCMMP2 - LIMA) in a very very nice forest indeed.

Logged it at 20:25.

Today we wanted to go for a multi cache (GC1KVBZ - Sorø Natur #3), but we had to walk almost 4 KM's to reach the start of the cache.

It brought us to a larger lake than the one that we were camping at.

A lake with enough water to drink from.

A way-point where we had to gather some information.

We found the stash at 15:40.

It was hidden in a swamp like area.

We noticed that a cache (GC1R0DX - Sorø Natur #6 - Pavillonen) was hidden within 1 KM of this spot and decided to go for it.
We logged that one at 16:15.

The view over the lake was astonishing.

We had two options go back or continue with the walk around this lake, we choose the last option and walked back to the camping site, making a total of 13 KM's for today. Time to relax back at the motor home.

Brøndby

Next place to stay was Brøndby, an area in Kopenhagen. This was the camping site most closely to the town center but still to far to walk. We arrived here yesterday, on the drive over here we first visited a beautiful site called Stevns Klint, one of the highest cliffs in Denmark.
At this location three caches are located.
The first (GC1QN2C - Stevns Klint), one of the few earth caches in Denmark and the only one that we passed by on our holdiday.
Logged this one at 11:25

A traditional (GCZPBG - Under den "halve kirke") is hidden underneath the church somewhere on the cliffs, it was not that easy to find the box but I succeeded at 11:40.

Last to do at this spot a short multi cache (GCZQF4 - ABSALON's Hemmelighed).

Logged this one at 12:00.

Then the drive towards Kopenhagen. In the evening we tried to walk a night cache not to far from the camping site but probably our flash light wasn't powerfull enough because we couldn't even find the first reflector. But near the start of this cache a traditional (GC164CR - Brøndby - Hovedstaden - Danmark) is hidden as well, and we were able to find that one. So in the dark a little bit of a night cache after all.
Found this one at 22:25

Today we wanted to go for a multi-cache and a couple of mystery caches that I was able to solve.
The first one was a mystery (GC1BCDQ - Hvad vej skal jeg gå?), we walked towards it in beautiful weather.

We found and logged it at 12:50

The route went to the park of the cache.

We noticed that we passed by a traditional (GC1DT54 - Blå Aventurin) so we decided to try and find that one also. It was in a large open area where the dogs were able to run freely, they even met a Danish dog, actually it was a Golden retriever. And they ran together in this pieceful area.

The cache was hidden in an area with new trees, coming from the Netherlands and caches are almost always burried near a tree root somewhere we were looking for this here as well, then we discovered the box just plain without material on top of it under a branch of a tree. Yes the box was painted with camouflage paint but never the less funny.
Logged this one at 13:15.

Next back to the park, we ran into a big road that we weren't able to cross on foot. We had to make a little detour to reach a crossing. And with a couple of KM's extra we reached the park at last.
It was a very beautiful park and we could find all the information needed, but the calculated end coordinates marked the spot in the middle of a freshly planted flowerbed so we decided to leave the cache and walk back to the camping site.

On the way back to the camping site we went for the last cache of today a mystery (GC1J08H - Pentagon) that I solved.
Found this one in a quiet spot and logged it at16:00

Making our total caches found 270.

Rødvig by bicylce

Yesterday we walked in this area. Today we decided to take the bicycle and in this manner try to find caches a little bit further away and visit Boesdal an old limestone quarry.
First we passed by the little town Rødvig. Three caches are hidden here.
The first one (GCZTHE - Rødvig Fiskerihavn), hidden in the fish harbour.
There was a steep stair and we decided to let the dogs rest a little bit from the walk beside the bike and that I would try to find the cache below.

And I succeeded and discovered the cache hidden in a very special way. Logged at 12:20.

With lovely sunny weather always nice to be at the sea side.

The second near the station (GCZTHH - Rødvig Station), a very short ride towards into the village.
Again while the dog rest a little bit.

I go out to find the cache near the station.

And again success. Logged at 12:45.

Back to the rest of the team for some coffee.
After that we continued with a short trip to the next location (GCZTHG - Rødvig Strand) at the beach. Again a steep stair so we decided again for me to go out alone while all the boys stayed behind.

Logged at 13:10

Next we went for an area called Boesdal. It is an old lime quarry that is no longer active and open to public.
In this area a challenging multi is hidden and a couple of traditionals as well.
We parked our bikes near the bake ovens where a cache is hidden but somebody was mowing the lawn so the cache had to wait.
The next in line was the cache (GCHCX0 - The Pyramid).

It was hidden on the shore, we had to climb a little to reach it, and there is only one of us that is able to climb at heights and he had rested enough at the previous caches.

Logged at 14:50

In between we were looking for the way-points of the multi cache of course, walking around in the quarry.

For one of the way-points we needed to find something on the beach. For the dogs always fun.

At this moment we figured out the locations of the stash of the multi but we guessed that this location was at the top of the cliffs. This was a wrong guess, when we arrived at the top, we say that we were still a couple of meters away from the location. We needed to go down, but that wasn't possible at that location so we had to go back all the way. We were all tired and we decided that I would go back to the beach in the early evening without the dogs to try to find the stash.
On the way back to our bikes we stumbled across the cache (GCX72G - Boesdal Kalkbrud) that we logged at 16:30

And back at the bikes the lawn mower was gone and we found the cache (GCX72F - Boesdal Kalkovne)

Logged at 16:45

So as told above after dinner it was a bicycle ride back to the cache location (GCWK88 - Boesdal) to try and reach it from the beach.
It was an 800 meters walk along the stone beach not to easy to walk on.
Arriving at the spot, here the cliffs that we stood on this afternoon when we discovered that the cache-box was downs below.

Hidden under a pile of big rocks, the cache-box

Logged at 19:30

That was a reward well deserved, and now back to the motor home to rest a bit.

Rødvig by foot

The next stop in Denmark was on a camping site near Rødvig on the island Sjaelland.
We arrived there and went for a walk in the area. We figured out a route that would bring us along a number of caches near the shore that was doable. It was a bit of a challenge since we don't have Topo maps of Denmark on our GPS. So we had to guess which path to take.
The first traditional of this walk (GC1H8WZ - HENNINGs udsigt)
The cache-name says something about a view, and that was astonishing.

A little rest in the sun at the beach.

Logged at 15:30

Inside we discovered a coin.

Then next to the traditional (GC10ERJ - Højstrup Skov nr. 1)
Hidden under a branch

Logged at 16:00

Then a walk towards the traditional (GC10ERN - Højstrup Skov nr. 2) along a path near the shore.

At one point it almost felt like we were in the Caribbean iso Denmark.

Again resting on the shore while I write the logbook.

Logged at 16:25

And continuing with the next traditional (GC10ERW - Højstrup Skov nr. 3)
This one was just a little bit from the shore in a green area.

Logged at 16:40.

Close up of Tobold at the cache-location.

Then on towards the next traditional (GC16M1P - Højstrup / Sjællandsleden), hidden under a pile of rocks.

Uncovered and logged at 16:55

And the last of the traditionals today (GC10ERX - Højstrup Skov nr. 4).
For some caches you have to climb a little.

Logged at 17:15

Afterwards you have to hide the cache like before.
Numbers today: Found 6 caches, walked about 10 KM, total at the end of the day 256 founds
