Description    Deutsch  ·  English

Multi caches with three stages of which the first two ones are of historical interest. Depending on your route choice and your ambition, the walking distance lies between 1.5 and 4 kilometers.

Frauenkreuz (an old stone cross) - N50 39.897 E8 37.622

Have a close look at the reliefs which can be found at the northern and
the southern side of the cross, respectively.
You can find there an animal which is depicted at both sides: at the northern side it is encircled by several small crosses. At the southern
side the stonemason apparently did not finish his work as there the animal is encircled by a number of raised quadrangles which show no signs of artistical elaboration.

The number A is obtained by either taking the number of quadrangles at the southern side diminished by one, or taking the number of small crosses at the northern side.

The north coordinate of the final cache is given by N50 40.AAA.


Dreiherrenstein (an old stone assemble) - N50 40.422 E8 37.133

On one of the stones you can find a three-digit number both at the front and at the back side. Add 51 to this number and call the result BCD.

The east coordinate of the final is given by E8 37.BCD.

Found 23 September 2014 CocoKiwi found the geocache

Auch diesen altehrwürdigen Multi hab ich Rahmen meiner Cachetour im "großen Wald" ohne Probleme absolvieren können. Die Stationen sind gut zu finden, die Aufgaben eindeutig zu lösen und auch das Final war schnell gesichtet, so dass nun auch mein Name im Logbuch dieses Caches steht.

Zwischendurch hab ich noch ein paar Pilzsucher getroffen, die mir ihre gesammelten Funde präsentierten.

Vielen Dank fürs Herführen,
CocoKiwi

Ein archivierter Cache zeichnet sich u.a. darin aus, dass keine Dose mehr zu finden ist ....

Not found 25 September 2010 teq2 did not find the geoacache

Die Stationen waren kein Problem, die Final-Location war auch schnell ausgemacht, nur lag unter dem Tarnmaterial dann leider doch keine Dose mehr.

Wir gehen davon aus, dass die Dose gemuggelt wurde - ein Foto der Location geht an die Ownerin.
