Description    Deutsch  ·  English

The cache is hidden near the castle ruin "Stockenfels" wich is situated on a hill above the river "Regen".
The "Regental" (Regen valley) is a beautiful place, so you can extend the cache hunt with a nice walk.

Park your car at N49°13.956 E012°10.594

From here follow the path to the cache at N49°13.572 E012°10.316
The path leads you directly to the ruin and from there the last few meters get a little bit more difficult.
You better wear sturdy shoes. (no climbing necessary)

After finding the cache you can visit the "Gaststätte Wittman" at N49°13.322 E012°10.473Its an inn with a nice beer garden.To reach the inn you have to cross the river with a small ferry. It´s recommended to call and ask if the ferryman is on duty.(depends on the weather and if the beer garden is open)Call from top of the hill (near the cache location) to avoid reception problems with your cell phone down in the valley.
Phone Number: +49 9436 90047
Fee for the ferry: 50 cent per ride and person

Puh, das ist ein steiler Weg abwärts zur Dose.
Da muss jeder schritt richtig sitzen.
Kurz vor der Dose sieht man nochmal nen Trampelweg der nochmals abwärts zeigt.
An den Koordinaten angekommen. Fand ich keine Dose!
Mit dem Spoilerbild war ich mir sehr sicher das ich richtig bin.
Dann lass ich nochmal die Einträge durch. Hier gab ein Vorrloger nen Tipp.
Jub, die Dose ist auf gleicher Ebene nur etwas weiter rechts drüben beim andern Felsen im spalt Versteck.
Danke fürs legen und pflegen ;-)

PS: das Spoilerbild würde ich raus machen, das verwirrt!
