Rund um den Stainzbach

The multi follows hiking trail number 6. At the center of the village behind the town hall you can find a layout plan of hiking trails in the area (see Reference Point). Usually gratis maps are available to take away.

The trail is essentialy flat and suitable for (off-road) strollers. Only between stage 2 and 3 due to two short narrow and steep sections a possible detour might be advisable.

Calculations are done in Milliminutes (eg N 46° 53.460' - 734 = N 46° 52.726')

Stage 1 - Sign

N1= N 46° 53.497 and
E1= E 015° 16.311 .

Close to the cemetary wall you will find a small white sign "Bitte freihalten!" A= number on sign .

Stage 2 - Wayside Shrine

N2 = N1 + A*30 + 11 and
E2 = E1 + A*10 + 19

A wayside shrine can be seen a bit beside the way. On one of the sides two year dates can be found (Erbaut and Erneuert). B= Sum of the 8 digits of that two dates.

Stage 3 - Signpost

N3 = N2 + B*4 + 27 and
E3 = E2 + B*10 + 274

A signpost beside a tree at this crossing is carrying 5 yellow signs showing 6 different hiking trails. B= Sum of the path numbers of that 6 trails.

Stage 4 - Plaque

N4 = N3 - C*5 - 15 and
E4 = E3 + C*5 + 234

You will find two plaques with names. D= Odd number of persons on both plaques.

Stage 5 - Cross

N5 = N4 - D*10 - 172 and
E5 = E4 + D*10 + 184

The back of that wayside cross is strengthened with vertical battens. E= Odd number of battens.

Stage 6 - Roof

N6 = N5 - E*4 - 3 and
E6 = E5 - E*50 - 125

A lodge having two different roofs can be seen right beside the track. F= Even number of rows of the orange roof tiles visible by standing on the track.

Stage 7 - Transformer

N7 = N6 + F und
E7 = E6 - F*30 - 91

Beside the street on the foot of a transformer building a yellow sign regarding the gas line can be seen. It carries two decimal numbers. Ignore the decimal points and G= Sum of the 4 digits.

Stage 8 - Pole

N8 = N7 - G*10 - 52 und
E8 = E7 - G*70 - 23

Right beside the track is a wooden pole. H= Metal two digit number attached to that pole at eye level.

The sum of all 8 variables is 179

The Cache

N-final = N 46° 25806 + (A * C * E * G) and
E-final = E 015° 200849 - (B * D * F * H)

The Cachebox is a 13x10x6 cm Lock-n-Lock box
