Description    Deutsch  ·  English

The way to the cache and back to the parking is around 5.5 km long. The paths are in good condition, but in parts quite small and too steep for buggies. The locations of the different stations you have to pass are obvious and you can reach all by paths. Only the cache itself is not directly on a path. Unfortunately the cache can’t be done using a wheelchair.

We use characters in different ways as symbols for numbers. When we write for example abc, then a and b and c stand for one figure (like 1 or 2 …) each. Capital letters are numbers with more than 1 digit (like 12 or 345 …). It’s recommendable to bring a calculator!


-------------------------------------------------
START
-------------------------------------------------
You can park your car around
N50° 44,620'
E 8° 17,330'
From there, go to
N50° 44,A' = N50° 44,480'
E 8° 17,B' = E 8° 17,483'


-------------------------------------------------
STATION A
-------------------------------------------------
You should enjoy the beautiful view for a moment before you solve the first riddle: The building was built in fghi.
Character a for the cache coordinates is the number of corners of the building.

Now find the coordinates for the next cache station:
Eliminate one of the figures which you can find twice in fghi to obtain a number C with three digits. Now calculate:
D = A + C - (gh-ig) - f*(i-f)
E = B - 38 + fgh - hi

Now find your way to
N50° 44,D'
E 8° 17,E'


-------------------------------------------------
STATION B
-------------------------------------------------
Welcome at Prof. Dr.h.c.’s place!
He lived from jkmn to opqr.

Character b for the cache coordinates is the number of letters in the professor’s occupation (Hint: quite a long word beginning with O and ending with r) divided by (k+q).

Calculate
F = qr + p
G = opqr - jkmn + pk
H = kmn - (p-m)
Now you’ll have to make a trip through the forest to
N50° F,G'
E 8° 17,H'


-------------------------------------------------
STATION C
-------------------------------------------------
This station consists of two parts (hut and tree).

The hut was built J years after the tree was planted.
You can retrieve character c for the cache coordinates from the year stuc in which the tree was planted.

Now you need to look for a second tree which is situated right in the middle of the woods ... to find the right one, calculate
K = G + J
L = H - J*J + J
and go to
N50° F,K'
E 8° 17,L'
(Small hint, go there via N 50° F,(kmn-iii) E 8° 17,mhg!)


-------------------------------------------------
STATION D
-------------------------------------------------
When you reach this tree, you find a sign showing a date. Add the digits of this number until you get a one digit number (example: 1998 => 1+9+9+8=27 => 2+7=9). You have just calculated d for the cache coordinates.

Calculate
M = J * 10 - 9
N = 3 * J * J - 4
and proceed to
N50° F,M'
E 8° 17,N'


-------------------------------------------------
STATION E
-------------------------------------------------
Look around before you make the trip to Klaus. You’ll find quickly that you are vwx meters above NN (sea level).

With those numbers, you can calculate once again:
P = 2 * vwx + wvx + m + J
Q = vwx + vw + v

You’ll meet Klaus at the following coordinates:
N50° 44,P'
E 8° 17,Q'
(Small hint: Go to Klaus via Station C.)


-------------------------------------------------
KLAUS
-------------------------------------------------
Klaus gives you a warm welcome! You can find a sign on it with three numbers in three lines. Sum up the first digits of each line and add 1. This is e for the cache coordinates!

The longest number on the sign stands for Klaus’ volume. Imagine a tap and 10 liters of water flowing out of it every minute. How many days will it take to fill up Klaus? Round the result up to a whole number to obtain R.


-------------------------------------------------
CACHE
-------------------------------------------------
Calculate
S = edb - 4
T = c*100 + a + [(R-e-c) * (a+b)] + 2

The cache is situated at
N50° 44,S'
E 8° 17,T'

We hope that you’ll have fun at the hunt!

Note 19 February 2012 mic@ wrote a note

Dieser Cache ist auf geocaching.com (GCHNE0) archiviert und hier nicht mit dem Attribut "OC only" versehen. Das letzte Funddatum liegt lange zurück und die Logs bei geocaching.com lassen darauf schließen, das der Cache nicht mehr existiert. Aus diesem Grunde archiviere ich ihn auch hier. Sollten sich später neue Aspekte ergeben und der Cache wieder aktiviert werden, so kann dies durch den Owner selbstständig über die Funktion "Cache bearbeiten" erfolgen.

Note 07 December 2011 mic@ wrote a note

Bitte bei Statusänderungen die bei geocaching.com durchgeführt werden, auch immer hier den Status ändern. Analog zu GCHNE0 setze ich den Status für diesen Cache jetzt auch auf "Momentan nicht verfügbar". Sobald der Cache wieder gesucht werden kann, kann dies durch den Owner selbstständig wieder geändert werden.

Found Recommended 10 July 2010 ademant found the geocache

Schöne Runde durch den Dillenburger Wald.

Einzelne Stationen bereiteten zwar Schwierigkeiten (die GPS-Genauigkeit war teilweise sehr unbefriedigend), aber die Stationen konnten rekonstruiert werden. 

Found 11 April 2010 murmeltier found the geocache

Endlich hab' ich mal 'ne Gelegenheit gefunden, diesen OLDIE zu suchen.
Das Zeitfenster vor einem Krankenbesuch von 1,5 Stunden jeichte jedoch nur bis zu Klaus. Den Final mußte ich mir für nachher aufheben.Schöner Cache mit einer schönen Runde in Dillenburger Wald. Die Rechnerei war auch nicht so schlimm. Hab' mich trotz Zeitdruck nicht vertan.
Der Final hatte dann auch ein würdiges Versteck. Alle Stationen sind in Ordnung. Komisch nur, dass im Logbuch auch im Februar Logs sind, die bei GC nicht auftauchen. Werd gleich noch bei OC nachsehen (nachloggen) Auch hier fehlt ein Log aus dem Februar.

Vielen Dank für die schöne Runde und den Cache

Dank einer Nachricht von lakebird haben wir festgestellt, dass in der englischen Version der Wegbeschreibung ein Fehler steckte (Station C).
Die Übersetzung wurde entsprechend korrigiert.
Viele Grüße, tobsas

Thanks to an email from lakebird we found a mistranslation in the English version (stage C).
The text was corrected accordingly.
Greetings, tobsas
