QR-NFC Geocache

Is it necessary to have a smartphone with NFC technology! (Special Equipment Required - ECA/ECGA)
That is a NFC-Cache. With this Geocache, you're not looking for a Traditional Cache, but a hidden NFC radio chip.
This cache can only be found with either a NFC reader or ideally a phone with NFC capabilites.
To log the cache you will be required to find the NFC tags. Inside the cache is nothing. When you have found a tag
you will need to scan it, make sure NFC is turned on.
After scanning you will see the password for the log page.
Other caches without paper logbook with the attribute "NFC" can be found with this
search or in the "Geocaching 2.0 list"

 

Orta San Giulio is a town and comune (municipality) in the Province of Novara in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) northeast of Turin and about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of Novara.
The town itself is built on a promontory which juts out from the eastern bank of Lake Orta close to Isola San Giulio, an island which also falls within the municipal boundaries. 
In May 1882, Friedrich Nietzsche and Lou Andreas-Salomé, accompanied by her mother and a mutual friend, visited Orta for a few days on their way back from a Grand Tour of Italy. The couple visited the Sacro Monte for some hours and Nietsche fell in love with the charming Russian. Salomé could not afterwards remember if she had kissed the philosopher and she was not in love with him, a fact which caused him much anguish.

 

This is an NFC-Cache that opens the password for the online log page, so you can log your visit if you want.
This can be read with an NFC-enabled mobile phone and you can automatically access the password page of this cache on the site.
Of course you need to log in first on the OC homepage with your phone.

GEOCACHING 2.0

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enable two electronic devices, one of which is usually a portable device such as a smartphone, to establish communication by bringing them within 4 cm (1.6 in) of each other.
More details on NFC can be found eg. on Wikipedia.

Many Smartphones can read the NFC tag right out of the box. To make sure you can read it install a dedicated app.
If you use a Android device, I recommend to use the app NFC Tool or NFC TagWriter. But also many other apps will work.

Ein weiterer Ausflug am Lago d'Orta stand an und wir besuchteten diesen netten Ort. Wir nutzten die Gelegenheit einige Caches auf Opencaching.it und GC zu suchen. Es war unser 2. NFC-Cache
