A walk in the centre of Gothenburg following in the footsteps of emigrants from Sweden to the USA. It is also a Wherigo geocache, GC2KYBP.

About This Cartridge

In the years between 1850 and 1930 about 1.4 million people left Sweden for North America. Many of them travelled from Gothenburg and this Whereigo will show you places on their journey. Your task is to pick up the postcards they left behind and bring them to the post-office. Then you could find the final cache, but remember the hints you will get on your way around! 

Starting Location

Start at Stenpiren in central Gothenburg!

Almost the starting point of todays round, and almost he finish, too.
We came here before taking the car again to our final box of the day...
Nicely worked out wherigo with a theme common to Sweden and Germany, as both countries had port for migrating to America...

This was our first Wherigo in Sweden and it was a really interesting walk on a very hot day in a nice area.

It was my second Wherigo and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for showing me all this places. The final could have been on a much nicer place...? Thanks for the Wherigo. Saarbrigger

Nice and easy. Very appropriate since I am helping out at the Emigrants House at the moment :)

Will be off to log the cache as well in a minute.
