Description
Deutsch
· English
Best time to start: the earlier the better.
Difference in elevation: 210 m.
Starting point: at elevation of 2000 m
Good shoes, adequate clothing, water and food supply are essential (no supply facilities along the way, no mobile phone coverage in the area).
A pocket calculator (or those in mobile phone devices) may save time.
This hike is one of Ku Su Co´s favourite tours on the island of Tenerife, leading through lava fields as well as forests, with views up to the Teide mountain and down to the sea (if there are no clouds). The cache is hidden on a small plateau opposite a volcano from which large amounts of molten lava erupted back in 1795. Today the fire has gone cold, but from the cache location you can see clearly the manifold traces it has left behind in the form of black lava streams - "COLD FIRE".
Starting point: car park Boca Tauce
N 28° 12,855' W 016° 40,700'
To WP 1
From parking lot Boca Tauce follow the road in direction Vilaflor/Granadilla
to
N 28°12,838' W 016° 40,786'.
You will reach two traffic signs. The big one - at the mountain side - shows
the numbers of two roads, TF ?? and TF ??.
Substract the smaller one from the bigger number, the result is = A
To WP 2
Continue to N 28° 12,809' W 016° 40,840', you will
reach another sign on which a diploma is issued. There are two words written
in capitals. Change the following letters into numbers according to their position
in the alphabet:
The word above, first letter = B
same word , letter 7 = C
word below, first letter = D
To WP 3
N 28° ( A - B ) , ( B - C ) ( D + C ) ( D )
W 016° ( B ) ( C ) , (B * A + B + D ) ( C + D )
Opposite the sign, in direction of approximately 250° and at a distance of about 100 metres - right hand beside a building, construction work at present - you will find a footpath (belongs to Sendero 18) leading to WP 3. There you will find a small, green coloured sign with the word "Sendero" and a number. This number is = E
If you cannot find the sendero-sign: from the point where the path hits the roadway, is it possible
A to see the mountain Pico Viejo?
If you can put the number 3
if not put the number 9
B to see the sea?
If you can put the number 2
if not put the number 5
E then is AB
To WP 4
N 28° ( E - A - D ) , ( C ) ( E + E + A + D )
W 016° ( B ) ( C + C ) , ( B - C ) ( E )
Follow the road (do NOT descend to the "Sendero").
You will reach a red coloured steel structure, carrying a little red "house". There you will find a name painted in big letters. Take the first letter and turn it into a number in the same way you did at WP 2. This number is = F
To WP 5
N 28° ( C ) ( F + C ) , ( B + F ) (D - C - B ) ( C )
W 016° ( B ) ( F ) , ( F - C - C ) ( B - F - F ) ( B + D )
At the back of the house follow the path (a bit difficult to make out at first). About 200 metres before reaching WP 5 you have the opportunity of climbing up to the mountain peak (this is in addition to the cache riddle). Look out for green marks and stone figures on the right hand side. Difference in elevation: 105 m, terrain 3 to 4. A worthwhile and beautiful view!
At WP5 you will find a cave, it is said a hermit lived here in former times.
Only one of the following statements ist true:
The size of the cave would it make possible to park a car inside. = 2
The size of the cave would it make possible to park a motorbike inside. = 6
The cave is locked by iron bars. = 8
You can see some rests of a stove made by laid bricks. = 9
The correct result is = G
Follow the path further on until (after about 200 m) it divides into two, which is difficult to make out. Straight ahead you can descend to the Cañadas. You have to turn left - green and silver-white markings - to get to the cache.
N 28° ( G * F + C ) , ( G ) ( B + B ) ( C )
W 016° ( E + G ) , ( D * F - C ) ( G + F ) ( D + F )
You will find the cache at a small plateau on top of a rounded rocky hilltop (ideal for picnic).
Way back:
A) Go back to where the path divides into two as mentioned earlier. Turn left
and descend to the Cañadas. Down there go to WP 3 and back to WP 1
or the car park respectively.
B) If you feel like it and if you have another hour to spare follow the path marked green and silver-white. It leads up and down to another viewpoint. From there you can descend to the Cañadas. Down there follow the way same as A).
Happy hunting
Ku Su Co

found the geocache
das war mein erster eigenständiger log, hat sehr viel spaß gemacht! habe nichts getauscht, aber eine von den sonnen aus dem travelbug mitgenommen und mcrainabeel geschenkt, die mich zum geocaching gebracht hat.
wir haben uns für den rückweg B entschieden und uns verlaufen... silberne punkte gab es keine mehr, die grünen waren kaum erkennbar und der abstieg führte uns in eine falsche richtung... so kamen wir denn gut 3km vom parkplatz auf der landstraße aus - und sind wieder in den nächsten feldweg abgebogen, der uns zu wp3 zurückbrachte. das ganze hat dann zwar zwei stunden gedauert statt einer, war aber trotzdem superschön :-)
viele liebe grüße von heike alias sniffle

Nachdem der Teide Cache wegen Schnee nicht zu erreichen war, unser Ausgleichs-Cache. Wirklich sehr schöne Runde, allerdings bei Station 5 hatten wir Problemen mit den Heiligen, aber in den neuen Logs steht ja jetzt was. Problem ließ sich allerdings rechnerisch lösen, puh.
Große Erlösung, als wir den Cache endlich in den Händen hielten. Super Runde, für den Abstieg haben wir allerdings länger suchen müssen.

Attention: New coordinates!
A small building close to the starting area presents itself for computing the first coordinates. At he present time there is construction work, it is not known what will happen with the building. The old description does not seem to work any longer, therefore we made a revision.
Happy hunting

Achtung neue Koordinaten!
Zum Berechnen der ersten Koordinaten bot sich bisher ein kleines Gebäude in Startnähe an.
Zur Zeit ist dort eine Baustelle, was mit dem Gebäude geschieht ist nicht zu erfahren. Die alte Beschreibung funktioniert wohl nicht mehr, darum haben wir sie überarbeitet.
Erfolgreiche Suche wünschen Ku Su Co.

Eigentlich wollten wir am letzten Tag unseres Urlaubs zur Abwechslung mal am Pool entspannen, doch wie es das Schicksal wollte, gab es ausgerechnet heute trübes Wetter und Regen in Puerto de la Cruz. Um deswegen keine Depressionen zu kriegen haben wir dann beschlossen, doch noch einmal in die Berge zu fahren, was sich auch voll und ganz gelohnt hat! Heute gab es zwar erst ab ca. 1800m keine Wolken mehr, doch darüber war dann das ersehnte gute Wetter mit Sonnenschein.
So konnten wir noch einmal die beeindruckende und auch sehr abwechslungsreiche Landschaft am Rand des Teide Nationalparks genießen. Die noch vorhandenen Stationen waren gut zu finden und der Steinmännchenweg lud zum Mitstapeln ein :-) An Station 4 befindet sich zwar wieder eine Figur, sie scheint aber nicht mehr zu den in der Beschreibung stehenden Größenangaben zu passen. Es war eine sehr schöne Wanderung, während derer wir um 15.10 Uhr nach kurzer Suche unseren letzten Cache während unseres Urlaubs fanden. Vielen Dank für den Cache!

For the last day of our vacation it was planned to relax at the pool, but like the fate wanted, we got just today cloudy weather and rain in Puerto de la Cruz. In order not to get depressions, we decided to drive again in the mountains, which was fully and completely worth! Today there were no more clouds only starting from approx. 1800m, but above it there was the desired good weather with sunshine. So we could enjoy again the impressing and also very varying landscape at the edge of the Teide national park. The still existing stations were good to find and the stone figures way invited us to stack by ourselves :-) At station 4 the figure is back, it seems however that it did not match the sizes in the description anymore. It was a very beautiful hike while we found our last Cache during our vacation at 15.10 o'clock after short search. Thank you for the Cache!

First a short english comment : very nice cache, highly recommended !!!
Das war ja wohl ein richtig schoene Cache-Tour ! Tolle Landschaften, eine genaue Beschreibung, gut ausgearbeitet und gute Koordinaten, von den grandiosen Aussichten ganz zu schweigen. Alles in allem ein MUSS auf Teneriffa ! Wunschgemaess haben wir die Information fuer den Bonus entfernt und die Dose eingesammelt. Der Cache selber ist sehr gut zu finden.
Vielen Dank an Ku Su Co fuer diesen prima Cache

As betatester enroute, with the owners following in some distance. But it never was necessary to call for their help.
We hope a lot of people will have a lot of fun with this really marvellous cache and its riddles.
