For a longer hike just follow the path after you found the cache.

On your way you will find the ruins of castle Falkenstein. This place offers a spectacular view across Frankfurt. On exceptionally clear weather you will be able to see the Melibocus hill in the Odenwald area.

Just behind the ruins you will be guided to the remains of an even older tower. Here a small path will take you to the Dettweiler temple. In its vicinity the cache is hidden.

Dr. (MD) Peter Dettweiler has been a medical specialist for lung diseases, especially Tuberculosis. He has worked on minimizing the danger of infection developing a sputum bottle.

Others quote this place to be the devil's pulpit, the bogy is rumored to have talked to his congregation here.

Sadly I have to insist to strictly obey to the following rules, non-observance will be prosecuted.
- Logging in the temple only!
- Positively no monologues from the pulpit!

Heute mit Erlaubnis und Auftrag des Owners diese schöne Dose gesucht, geloggt und mitgenommen.
Vielen Dank fürs zeigen, den FAV-Point lasse ich mal weg, es hat ja niemand mehr etwas davon. Vielleicht gibt es noch eine Erlaubnis zum legen an einer anderen Stelle, wo kein Cacher bei der Suche zu weit in die Natur gerät. Es wäre schade um die Location wenn sie verweist bleibt. Grüße an den Owner und TFTC #1600
