Geocache Description:

Karup på Krigsstien - Slavekrigen
Karup on the warpath - The War of the slaves

Dorra HaalI tiden omkring 3-årskrigen mellem Danmark og Tyskland (1848-1851) opstod rygter om, at 600 fanger (også kaldet slaver) var blevet løsladt fra fængslet i Rendsburg. Nu sagde rygterne, at disse var på vej mod nord, medens de hærgede og plyndrede overalt, hvor de kom frem. Rygterne nåede også til Karup, hvor der blev opstillet en frivillig borgervæbning. Snart trænede mere end 70 mand eksersits og anden krigskunst hver søndag formiddag. Et stykke tid senere blev det fra "højeste sted" beordret, at der skulle opstilles en deling af unge ugifte mænd. Delingen blev på 31 mand og skulle tage kampen op ved Gedhus syd for Karup. Da delingen skulle stille, mødte 30 mand og en enkelt kvinde Dorra Haal (forklaringen kan læses på infotavlen ved skulpturen af hende). Hvor længe delingen var opstillet, er ikke kendt, men den kom aldrig i kamp. Det viste sig nemlig at rygterne var det rene opspind.

Cachen er placeret på et sted med god udsigt til skulpturen, Karup Kirke og Karup Ådal.

In the time around the 3-Years War between Denmark and Germany (1848-1851) was rumors that 600 prisoners (also called slaves) had been released from the prison in Rendsburg. Now, said the rumors that they were on their way north, while they ravaged and plundered wherever they went. The rumors also reached Karup, which established a voluntary militia. Soon more than 70 men trained eksersits and other war art every Sunday morning. A while later it was from the "highest point " ordered that there should be established a platoon of young unmarried men. The platoon was on 31 males and had to confront the slaves at Gedhus south of Karup. However, as the platoon was established 30 men and one woman went to war (Why Dorra Håll went to war, can be read on the infosign at the sculpture). How long time the platoon was established is unknown, but it never went into battle. It turned out that the rumors were pure fiction.

The cache is placed with good views to the sculpture, Karup Church and Karup River Valley.
