Description    Deutsch  ·  English

DESCRIPTION:
Since 120 years generations of alpinists did their first climbing experience on the rocks at the Peilstein (http://www.gebirgsverein.at/peilsteinhaus/).

But this mountain also offers some quite comfortable routes to walk on the top, where you can watch the climbers from above. Specially on weekends the small village Schwarzensee can be crowded by cars. We recommend to leave the car at the parking site near Holzschlag.
Parking site:
N = 48°01.326
E = 016°03.243
The walking distance is down to 1,4 km (ca. 30 min.), the altitude difference 130 m.

CACHE(an orange “Ovomaltine” box) is hidden at:
N = 48°00.877
E = 016°03.012

Have fun, M&W

Found 01 March 2015 pri0n found the geocache

Heute bin ich mittags vom Thalhofergrat entlang des gleichnamigen Multis auf den Peilstein gewandert - in noch erstaunlich tiefem Schnee! Die andere Flanke des Peilstein ist derzeit schon komplett aper, aber dort im Wald hat sich der Winter noch nicht ganz vertreiben lassen - dementsprechend still und einsam wars unterwegs, was sich dann rasch mit Erreichen der Gipfelgegend geändert hat...

Vielen Dank fürs Rauflocken und den Cache, dem es ausgezeichnet geht!

Found 14 September 2013 cezanne found the geocache

After having completed the nice Arnstein multi cache, AnnaMoritz, MoritzRabe and myself continued to this cache
http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCTB7Q_arnstein?guid=01b6d08b-1af7-40fe-ac9e-2cdf4ce8c88e

Cachen, nein danke meanwhile waited for us at the summit cross. As I was too lazy to enter the coordinates into my GPS-r I simply followed AnnaMoritz. While MoritzRabe and myself inspected wrong hideouts, AnnaMoritz had found the cache at my "next to look at candidate". The cache is in good condition and the second log book offers plenty of space for many more visits to this cache which is very suitable to be combined with the Arnstein multi cache.

While we hardly met any people on the way up (except the four young people close to the Arnstein needle), the area around the hut was quite crowded. Many people were busy with preparations for the event tomorrow. We even saw the ponies that were brought up for the pony riding.

After having found the cache, we enjoyed the view at the summit cross for a while and then went over to the hut and went up the new watchout tower which apparently also serves as emergency exit for the hut.
When we walked up the broad hiking trail that leads up to the summit, I was not expecting such a rocky summit area. It was definitely worth the effort to continue our walk further up even this part of the walk (along the hiking trail up to the Peilstein hut) was quite boring for MoritzRabe.


On the way back to the hut Cachen, nein danke, AnnaMoritz and MoritzRabe tried to walk over the slackline, but did not manage to reach the other side while I decided immediately that I would not even manage one step and so refrained from giving it a try. MoritzRabe also experimented with some other objects on the playground.

All in all I enjoyed the afternoon hike inspired by two M.W. caches and in nice company very much.

Thank you.


No trade

PS: I forgot to mention that I think that T=3* overrates the T-difficulty even when one starts near Holzschlag except for the case that one combines this cache with the Arnstein multi cache.
