23 August 2012  A mysterious 100 year old parcel – not to be opened until the 400th anniversary of the battle of Kringen – is puzzling Norwegians and Scots

Folk in Gudbrandsdal are scratching their heads over a mysterious parcel. Packed in 1912 by a local man, Johan Nygaard, on the 300th anniversary of an unfortunate Kalmar War skirmish between Norwegian peasants and Scots mercenaries – the battle of Kringen – it bears instructions only to be opened in 2012 on the 400th anniversary of the battle. Something to delight and benefit future generations is promised. But what can it be? Maybe the children of Gudbrandsdal have the answer! Watch the video here
