Description
You can find this chache on foot (2,3 km one way) or get yourself a ticket for the tram (EUR 2,00) and make a comfortable journey through Gmunden.
With just a little attention everything should be easy to solve from inside the tram - apart from the first and the last station.
Park your car near the main train station (see header coordinates) and solve stage 1 before buying your ticket.
Stage 1 - Hauptbahnhof
At the very end of the tram you'll find a sign high above.
The number of colours of the painting show A
Stage 2 - Grüner Wald
Here you'll find a house with 2 house numbers on it's garden
fence.
The sum of both numbers yield B
Stage 3 - Kraftstation /
Gmundner Keramik
Here you'll find a high tower showing the time.
Count the letters which can be found below the time and you'll get
C
Stage 4 - Rosenkranz
The station has got the same name like the street next to it.
You may not enter this street by car.
But those who may, are only allowed to do this with a maximum speed
of D
Stage 5 - Tennisplatz
At this station you will find E platforms.
Stage 6 - Oberbaurat
You'll pass an arcade house between Tennisplatz and Kuferzeile.
Above the main entrance there is an inscription in honour of
Governement Building Officer Dr.
h. c. Ing. Josef Stern
In front of the main entrance there are F arches.
Stage 7 - Kuferzeile
Diagonally opposite the station (towards the main station) there is
the house Kuferzeile number G
Stage 8 -
Bezirkshauptmannschaft
Right in front of the administration building there are H
flagpoles.
Stage 9 - Franz Josefs
Platz
Here you'll find a clock without a clockwork. Count the letters
right above the clock face and you'll get I
But maybe, one day, the smallest tram in the world will even take you there. Although, maybe then it would no longer be the smallest one.
X = G + I + H
Y = C + B
Z = D + F + 13
N = 47° X,CY
E = 013° Z,AE

found the geocache
After collecting the other members of the team we continued the hunt with a trip by tram to Gmunden. [:D]
This tramway was definitely too fast! [;)] We missed B at the beginning and another variable must have been noticed with a wrong value, too. Nevertheless it was clear where the hideout should be. Therefore it was an easy thing to find the box.
Thnx!

found the geocache
Auch wenn mir vermutlich ewig verborgen bleiben wird, wie aus 2 Ostkoordinaten 3 wurden und was der 2. Hinweis bedeutet, hatte ich ihn in der Hand, bevor ich ihn sah. Den 1. Hinweis hab ich erst verstanden, als ich ihn gefunden hab.
Man merkt eindeutig, daß der Sommmer kommt: Bin extra in stockdunkler, fast mondloser Nacht aufgebrochen und konnte den Cache muggelbedingt nur in "Schleichfahrt" aus seinem genialen Versteck heben. Jedenfalls ist er wunderbar nachttauglich (ähnlich wie die "Königskinder"), bei der Schneesicherheit würde ich Zweifel anmelden :)

So richtig etwas für Eisen-/Strassenbahnfreunde. Peter
Wir
gingen die Strecke vom Bahnhof in die Innenstadt zu Fuss, so blieb uns
mehr Zeit alles anzusehen. Wir hatten zwar bei der ersten Station
(Hauptbahnhof) und bei der Endstation unsere Probleme, aber Logik und
Ausschlissungsverfahren halfen uns weiter. Wie Mathilde schon
geschrieben hat, hatten wir zuerst eine falsche Uhr erwischt, dann aber
doch noch dir richtige gefunden.
Am Cacheort selber, war uns schnell
ziemlich klar wo dieser sein musste. Nach dem 2. Griff hatten wir
diesen dann auch in den Händen.
Besten Dank,

The 2nd one today: A really nice tour 'round Gmunden - what a funny tram.
We had some discussion when calculating the final coordinates; a mathematical problem resulting from the correct solution of stage 1 [?]. Finally, we decided to check both possibiltities on the map. [;)] Fortunately, only 1 solution seemed likely.
Arriving at the cache location, we immediately knew that we were right. [:D]
