Description    Deutsch  ·  English

The borough has astonishingly a lot of worth to see places. Some of them are along your walk. A lot of pictures and information are available at http://club.schrattenthal.at (german only).

Stage 1 - the beginning
N 48° 43.025, E 015° 54.588


You are at the parish church. At the ground is a mosaic, which looks like a cartwheel. How many spokes has this cartwheel (A)?

Stage 2 - evidence in stone
N 48° 43.014, E 015° 54.630


You are in the moat. In the city wall is a wooden door. If it did look like this in ancient days, this n´must have been a very weak point of the fortification. ;)
Of how many vertical planks does the door consist (B)?

Stage 3 - the town gate
N 48° 42.874, E 015° 54.501


This was one of the few ways in and out of the town. The jubilee inscription can be hardly ignored, but count the fingerposts for cycling pathes on the according traffic sign (C)?

Stage 4 - closed door
N 48° 42.n4, n4 = A*B*C*(A*C + 1) + B*C + B + C
E 015° 54.e4, e4 = A*B*(A*C + C + 1)


You're standing in front of a probably closed door. In the same wall are some windowless openings one level higher. Their number is D.

Stage 5 - the cache

It is not really difficult to reach the box, but nevertheless you should be careful (especially during nighttime). You find the 0.45l box at

N 48° 42.[n4  - C*D*(A +B) - B]
E 015° 54.[e4 - A*B*(C*D - 1) + D]


Please leave logbook, cachenote, pencil and sharpener in the box, there are some other trading items, too. ;)

Found 07 June 2007 Gavriel found the geocache

An unexpected art-walk! Now I know what I want to have: A cellar in Schrattenthal, with all what lives in it [:)].
First we counted "boards" at the wrong door and proceeded to Stage 3. There we noticed where we had made a mistake and returned for Stage 2 (a highly valuable place with all this infrastructure).
Stage 4 was of course locked, what a pity. A mistake sent us exploring a very suspicious old wall to no avail. After some recalculations the box was detected quickly.
no trade.
Thx for the nice walk, Gavriel & Mike
