About This Cartridge
1814 was perhaps the most eventful year in Norway's history. At the beginning of the year the country was ruled by Denmark, an absolute monarchy under King Frederik VI, and subject to a naval blockade being ceded to the king of Sweden. During 1814, Norway became independent, adopted the world's most democratic constitution and elected its own king.
By the end of the year the Norwegian parliament was forced to join with Sweden in a personal union under the monarch of Sweden, but the Swedish king had to accept the Norwegian Constitution - a constitution that took precedence over the monarch.
The year contains the story of one king and two ambitious future kings in Scandinavia who may have hoped to unite Sweden, Denmark, and Norway under their throne.
The Norwegian people and their leaders were caught in the middle of this rivalry, attempting through the crisis to create a measure of self-determination.
Starting Location
Svinesund, Iddefjorden, Norway

It was a small history lesson about Norway.
The place looked lost.
It was easy to answer the question, sometimes with
A little help of google.
Finally we did it and got the final coordinates.
The cache was quick found and logged without any muggels.
The cartridge worked quiet well on my iPhone.

Diesen WhereIgo haben wir während unserem Urlaub in Schweden gemacht als wir mal einen Ausflug gemacht haben. Bald konnten wir die nötigen Informationen sammeln und so konnten wir dann unseren ersten Schwedischen WhereIgo machen und uns in das Logbucheintragen.
