#2 Today...

bau stolz auf uns sind.!!! anfangs noch ungläubig. "geeeeh man kann doch für an Cache keine 2 Stunden brauchen." Vor allem ned im Mühlviertel. Da macht man ja 5 in der Zeit...

denkste..

Bis zum Schluß war übrigens das Thema "Wasser" bis auf die Schilder eher nicht existent, bzw. nur in Schneeform und Nebel.

PS: Cachebergung war dann schwierig, weil fast gefroren. *g* und ich war froh das GPS dabei zu haben. Nur anhand der Schilder hätt ich mich 3 mal verlaufen :-)

Dank des Hinweisbildes hielt sich (der lästige) Cachesuchaufwand in zeitlichen Grenzen. Die Wanderung war bei mir eine Mountainbiketour. Es ist eine empfehlenswerte Runde, im Zauberwald wartet noch dazu ganz andächtig Frodo auf seine Weiterreise.
