Description    Deutsch (German)

This is an offroad-cache! You should really take a 4x4-vehicle! Even then it is only for experienced mountain-drivers because the road is not that easy! We also saw some hikers there.../p The Cache lies in the Liguric alps on the border between France and Italy. It is hidden at a height of about 2180m.
We started at the tunnel of Tende heading south and went right at the first possibility. There you come up to the Fort Central. Next to it are some ruins where you can park and put up a tent if you like. But you can also start on the italian side at Mendatica (here is an excellent Restaurant "Agritourismo" you should not miss!) or you start from La Brigue in France.
The road to the Cache is unpaved and there are some rocks lying on the way so drive carefully!! Please get a good map before you start to drive there because even there a lot of cars driving around you don't know always which way to take.

Good luck and a nice time!
Landyman & family

In wintertime the road seems to be closed!!! Notice the winter in the alps starts early!

Found 01 October 2009 KukiHN found the geocache

The first time I drove the LGKS 2006 I missed the cache  :-( But this time I stopped at the right time and found the box.
It was again a lot of fun to drive this great road with the motorbike.
Thanks and greets, Kuki

Not found 23 June 2006 KukiHN did not find the geoacache

mann mann mann, was bin ich für ein Schussel [:I]
Da fahren wir extra im Urlaub zur LGKS und ich düse am Cache vorbei, was hab ich mich geärgert!!!
Hatte den WP im GPS noch nicht aktiviert und mich dann so auf die Strecke konzentriert daß wir schon 1,4 km am Cache vorbei waren als es mir wieder eingefallen ist.
Naja, vielleicht komm ich ja irgendeinmal wieder in die Gegend...
Gruß Kuki
