Description    Deutsch  ·  English

At the given coordinates you find a picturesque castle amidst a pond. The Gleisshammer Estate was first mentioned in 1336 and lookes back on a turbulent history. After being heavily damaged by flood waters in 1845 it was bought by the factory owner Johannes Zeltner who refurbished it with a large monetary effort. Since then, the Name "Zeltnerschloss" (Zeltner Castle) has become widely accepted.

To find the cache, you now go for a short walk. There is no need to leave the ways, even when finally searching for the cache.

Next to the bridge leading to the castle you find a phone number just above the ground. The first digit after the prefix is the number A.

In the south, a tunnel leads under a railroad track. What is the maximum height for vehicles to pass through? This is the number B.

Straight before the tunnel you turn right in the small path. A lot of pylons are standing here. On one of them, about 100m ahead, a big white sign with a two-digit number is mounted. The second digit is the number C.

Further 30m ahead you turn right to stay on the small path. Again, lots of pylons are standing here. At the place where the path turns you can see them very good. Between the pylons, cables are tightened and some of them have little signs that have the shapes of a three-digit number cut out. By dividing the second digit through the first, you get D.

The small path now leads back to the road. To the right you see a wooden fence that has a small sign with a single digit. By adding 1 to this digit, you have E.

Next you come across a bridge, under which the water from the pond flows off. Some of the vertical railing poles are longer than the others, and on one side of the bridge are more of them than on the other side. How much more? This is the Number F.

Now you can search the place N49°26.ABC' E11°06.DEF' for the cach. Attention! The cache is significant smaller than the usual 35mm film tank. So trading is not possible here,
and you also will have to keep it short while logging. Please bring your own pen!

Have a lot of fun!

Eine schöne Runde, nachdem ich mal in der Ecke gewohnt habe, kannte ich die Gegend bereits rechts gut. Die Koordinaten des Finals sind recht genau, deshalb schnell gefunden.

Found 15 August 2007 Schmusebär & Indidde found the geocache

Wenn man als Pendler ins Land der Franken schon an einem Feiertag arbeiten muss , muss wenigstens Zeit zum Cachen sein . Darum vor der Arbeit gleich Richtung Zeltnerschloss geradelt. Die einzelnen Stationen waren gut zu finden und auch der Final ging erstaunlich schnell. Eine schöne Runde, die sich wirklich lohnt. Echt putziger Cachebehälter .

Viele Grüße vom Schmusebär

Netter Rundgang in einer Ecke, wo man sonst nicht so wirklich oft hinkommt. Aber das Schloss hat schon des Öfteren mein Interesse geweckt, als ich es von der S-Bahn aus gesehen habe.

Heute mein GPS-Gerät gekauft. Cache in der Nähe gesucht und gefunden und sogar noch einen anderen Cacher getroffen. Das fängt doch schonmal gut an.
