Description   

This cache was placed on the 30th September 2020, exactly 20 years after Denmark's first: Kippers in the Jungle (GC6A, see https://coord.info/gc6a for details). The name refers to the rocky island of Bornholm in general, and the boulders around the cache in particular.

 

Apart from a handwritten card that serves as a First Finder's Certificate, and a lot of children's toys, the cache initially contains a pair of kippers made from driftwood. These wanderlust kippers would like to visit Kippers in the Jungle where it all began in Denmark 20 years ago. And if somebody could attach a travel bug or summat to these kippers it would be great — that way we won't lose them in Arizona like we did with their kippers sisters.

 

The recommended — and most scenic — way to find the cache is to follow the coastline all the way from Galløkken Strand near the industrial harbour of Rønne, and then turn left when your GPS tells you to. Finding the cache and going back this way may take up to an hour or so, and you may have to climb a few rocks for every bend on the beach, depending on the current sea level.

 

You may also reach the cache from the land side and the parking lot relatively nearby. The terrain is somewhat hilly and you may have to do some bushwacking, even if a hiking trails leads all the way to the cache.


In any case, I hope you enjoy this little adventure.

 

Spread the love!!!

Hallo kseistrup

nach dem Urlaub ist vor dem Urlaub. Nach Grichenland und Marokko im Februar geht es im April nach Dänemark. Ganz genau nach Bornholm und zum östlichsten Cache von DK. Der fehlt mir noch in DK um die GeoTrophy DK abzuschließen. Davor standen aber noch zwei Programmpunkte an.

Punkt 1: Besuch unserer Partnerfirma in Grimmen. Erledigt.
Punkt 2: Der EZC Das tödliche Marzipan in Stralsund. Erledigt

Nun kreuze ich über Bornholm immer auf der Suche nach dem nächsten Sonnenuntergang,  Sonnenaufgang, versteckten Juwel oder Cache auf der Insel. Bornholm ist wirklich nicht nur einen Besuch wert. Besonders da aktuell noch nicht so viele Touristen auf der Insel sind war es für mich sehr beruhigend.

Thanks to the CO for your Cache and showing us this place
Greetings from Germany/Sachsen/Leipzig
Uli
