Montreux! (NFC-Cache)

Montreux!

Montreux is a picturesque town on the shores of Lake Geneva. It has approximately 27,000 inhabitants. In German, it was formerly called "Muchtern", but this name is no longer used. French is spoken here.

The town is especially known for its breathtaking location: it extends along the glittering lake with views of the Alps and offers a perfect mix of natural beauty and urban flair. The mild climate and sheltered position enable the cultivation of fruit and even subtropical plants.

Over the decades, Montreux has developed into a cultural centre. The famous Montreux Jazz Festival, which takes place every July since 1967, is world-renowned and attracts renowned artists and music fans from around the world. The town also houses numerous historical sights, including the impressive Château de Chillon, a medieval fortress right on the lake.

Today, Montreux is a vibrant place that combines tradition with modernity - ideal for culture enthusiasts, nature lovers, and all those seeking the best of Swiss hospitality and Alpine landscapes.

NFC-Cache

This cache is an NFC-Cache. NFC stands for "Near Field Communication" and describes a radio technology over a very short distance (normally a few centimeters). At the coordinates, you will find an NFC tag instead of a container. This is a small sticker containing a microchip and an antenna. The tag can be accessed with a device that supports NFC. Many current smartphones have the corresponding capability. The smartphone is brought close to the tag, it receives power from the smartphone and a brief data exchange takes place.
Further details on NFC can be found, for example, on Wikipedia.

Logging this NFC Cache

In this NFC-Cache, you will find the logging password stored on the NFC tag. Once you have it, you can log the cache online. On site, you do not need to sign in physically. Attach a personal photo of the lakeside promenade in Montreux to your online log.

App

If you are using an Android device, I recommend the app NFC Tool for this cache. Various other NFC apps also work. However, make sure that they can read not only links (web addresses) but also text fields - as that is where the password is located.

And now

I wish you pleasant strolls along Lake Geneva.
