Beschrijving Deutsch · English (Engels)

This is a series of caches about the Aachen-Frankfurter-Heerstraße (AFH), the military road the German Emperors used in order to get to Aachen for their crowning ceremony. Hence the name "Krönungsstraße", which translates to "crowning road".

The Via Regia has been the most important road connecting Aachen and Frankfurt from the times of Charlemagne to the late 19th century. After being elected in Frankfurt they travelled to Aachen for their crowning ceremony.Moreover, the road was used for trading or troop movements. From Düren to Sinzig it roughly follows today's motorway 61. This section is special, as it has the steepest inclines of the entire road. The impact on the landscape is visible up to date, although many sections have vanished due to land cosolidation. But on satellite photos the course is well visible.

General information:

With this series I will only cover the AFH in the region of Grafschaft, there are a number of information posts throughout the marked hiking trail. Additional information can be found on the internet, on the information posts and at local clubs devoted to regional traditions. The hinking trail has been marked by the "Eifelverein".Every cache station is designed as a short multi-stage cache with trails under 5 km. Of cource, you can hike the whole trail at once (about 11 km, one-way!); then, it might be best to start in Eckendorf, because the station fit together best. Please follow the hinking sign "AFH" (black font on white square).The trail follows dirt roads, so hiking or (mountain-)biking is no problem, nevertheless, strollers or wheelchairs may not do the whole route. Cars or motorcycles are not allowed. After a raining peroid the road might be very muddy.

MULTI STAGE (1.8 km, incl. Bonus: 3 km)

This station is somewhat special, because the are reports of two different routes. The older one follows today's the country road, while the younger one leaves this course at the crook and goes straight up the hill. This course is what we will investigate during this cache.

Parking is possible at WPKD01.

On the sign, several crosses made of basalt are mentioned. How many? = A

All crosses date back to the same year: BCDE

The Final is located at:

N50° 34.(B)(D)(A+B)E007° 10.(C-E-A)(B+D)(2*E)

Bring your own pen and don't forget to note the Bonus number!

At RPKD01, the AFH crosses your path. Look back towards the parking area and note the elevation you have already gained.

When you have found the cache, you can additionally head for the bonus cache (provided you got all bonus numbers so far). Simply follow RPKD02, where you see the AFH as a depression in the terrain going uphill to the forest edge.

19. april 2018 clappy has archived the cache

Für die 4-5 Logs (davon einige OC und GC), die in den drei Jahren hier kamen, ist die Pflege und Aktualisierung von parallelen Listings zu aufwändig. Der Cache ist noch vor Ort und kann über GC geloggt werden.

Nachdem ich die Aufgaben gelöst hatte konnte ich den Final berechnen und habe ihn dann m 15:17 Uhr gefunden. Hilfreich war dabei auch das Spoilerbild, da die Koordinaten etwas daneben lagen.

Heute hatten wir uns die letzte Etappe des Krönungsweges samt Bonus vorgenommen. Hier dachten wir mal wieder, wir hätten uns verrechnet (weil der Strecke deutlich kürzer als die Hälfte der angegebenen Cachelänge war), aber die Dose lies sich dann doch auf den Punkt genau finden.

Heute habe ich mit Smartcach und Sunnysky.ger mal die alte Krönungsstraße angesehen. Wie lange mögen die früher für die Strecke Aachen Frankfurt gebraucht haben, die wir heute in ein paar Stunden zurück legen?

Die Stationen und das Final waren gut zu finden.

Danke an clappy für diesen Cache sagt
