Description Description    DE EN


This mole-hole is supposed to transport GeoKrets via tunnel to Gdańsk (Poland). GeoKrets love to muddle through this mysterious pipe system, so simply drop a GeoKret into the hole and it will appear in the area of Gdańsk.

To ensure success and transport safety please note:

  • Be aware of one-way traffic - only drop GeoKrets heading to Gdańsk. Remember to log your dropping correctly at geokrety.org!
  • Check the GeoKret´s label! Is the GeoKret able to get its ideas across in the destination area? Probably it´s a good idea to add an English translation if it doesn´t exist yet.
  • Never ever grab a GeoKret from this hole! 
  • Usually the GeoKretExpress is real express but from time to time GeoKrets tend to dawdle and jam the complicated transmission tunnel system. So transit time may last up to two months.

Noteworthy information about Gdańsk (Danzig) 

This vibrant city was the birthplace of Solidarność (Solidarity movement) which played a major role in bringing an end to communist rule across Central Europe and the Berlin Wall. The eventful history of Gdańsk goes back a long way and deserves closer attention: Polish German  (Sorry, that website has no English version available!)

By the way: the opposite GeoKretExpress Gdańsk - Berlin is running from mole-hole Brętowo, located close by the former Prussian railway Gdańsk Wrzeszcz (Danzig-Langfuhr) - Stara Piła (Altemühle).


How to get to the mole-hole

Haunt N 52 27.092, E 13 11.537 for comfortable parking. Keep in mind that the road Havelchaussee is closed during nighttime (0-6 am).

A small walking trail is also running nearby, part of the European long distance walking path (E11). So if you want to race against GeoKretExpress - no problem! Head for east and always straight on for the next 500 km, turn left and stop before stepping into the Baltic Sea. Good luck!

Bei Kaiserwetter zusammen mit Kat58 den vortrefflich ausgestatten Cache gefunden. Auch die Mücken haben sich über unseren Besuch gefreut.

Einige "Plastiken" auf die Reise geschickt.

Note 09. May 2010 Grimpel wrote a note

For safety reasons (volcanic eruptions under Vatnajökull) transmission is delayed - but Baltic Sea, WelcomeToTheWorld and Qing are now on the racetrack...

Dieser schöne OC-Only lag heute auf unserer Radtour zum Feierabend. Der Cache ist wirklich schön gemacht (auch das Logbuch!), schade dass er zum letzten Mal im Januar angesteuert wurde. Zum Loggen musste ich etwas tiefer greifen :) Ansonsten verlief alles ganz reibungslos. Nach dem Loggen wird man auch mit einem schönen Blick auf den Wannsee in Abendstimmung belohnt.

Einen kleinen Reisenden habe ich nicht hineingelegt, werde mir das Mole-hole mal im Hinterkopf behalten.

Vielen Dank für diesen Cache!
