Honestly, I'm not sure whether this geokret really was dropped at Skalholt. However, I must have dropped it somewhere in Iceland, and I believe it was somewhere on the Golden Circle. So... I'm virtually dropping it here. It's a guess like any other cache would be ;)

We saw this on the map on our Golden Circle tour and spontaneously decided to go here. A really great place so different to the touristy ones we had visited before!

On the location we first tried a wrong level, then found another approach to the coordinates. The ice was mostly gone after a few days of warm weather, so we had no problems retrieving the box.

Thanks for showing :)

We had seen this listing and thought that it would make a nice little detour after the touristy spots at the Geysir park.

Indeed a beautiful quiet spot, and we found an unspoiled warm spring nearby. Thanks for showing :)

On our visit to the Þingvellir we ouf course visited this cache as well - or rather, what's left of it. More a ruin of a cache, the box really should be replaced.

Nelly 01 needed to buy lots of wool, and we found that the wool shop here wasn't too far from our accommodation so we walked there. Being here, we of course also visited the two caches.

Thanks for the box with space for some items at a very nice place :)

After a long walk along the shore we reached the place here in the evening perfectly in schedule. Counted the poles and got plausible coordinates. Went over there and after a few minutes of searching we found a lid, then also a box.

Since the lid doesn't close, we did not put anything in.

At the town in Germany where we live someone made a whole cache series based on the Icelandic Santas. Sadly the series isn't maintained any more so were never able to complete it. However, that's where we know all of them from ;)

We had a bit leftover time to spend and went here out to the island. The fact that this box was large enough to hold items was one more reason to visit it. Added a trackable Santa ;)

Thanks and greetings from Germany :)

Coming over from the Grábrók hostel we visited this really beautiful waterfall.

Finding the cache was a bit difficult, though, since we obviously tried a wrong approach first. This looked a bit too dangerous to us, but we then discovered that there was another, less dangerous route to the cache. Using this we were successful.

Btw, I'm a bit surprised about the number of "found" logs where people describe why they didn't even search. How's not even trying a find?

Staying at Akureyri, we walked out here on uncommon ways with nice views, greeted the horses and walked back to the city.
Nice place, thanks for the cache :)

On our first afternoon in Akureyri we walked out here to the Botanical Garden and found a lot of snow ;) Luckily this was no problem here - we did easily find the cache.
(On the previous days, we failed on four of six caches in Austurland because of too much snow...)
