Description    Deutsch  ·  English

Park your car at the car park of the outdoor swimming pool:

N 47°40.070
E 14°47.695

Find from here to the nearby 'Villa Grottenheim' and work out the sum of the digits of Franz Kraus' year of birth.
Stage 1: Franz Kraus was born in 1834.

Sum of digits=A

Now follow the way in the direction of the 'Nothsteg' (footbridge) to the next stop:

N 47°40.031
E 14°48.011

Which archduke (Erzherzog) is the commemorative plaque dedicated?
Transfer the third letter of this name into a number (e.g. A=1, B=2, Z=26)
Solution=B

Now the way leads to the sulphur spring. (nearby the entrance of the footbridge)
Here you find an edged in red white warning sign - how many 'R' (alphabetic characters) can you find in the words of the board?
Solution=C

From the spring you get to the 'Nothsteg' which is 700 metres long. It is part of the 'Geopfad' and winds through a wildly romantic gorge.
You have to pay EUR 2,- for preserving the footbridge, but it is worth walking through the gorge!



PLEASE NOTE: During the winter the construction is closed!

The cache is hidden not far from the end of the footbridge, but not immediate at the construction at:

N 47°40.XXX
E 14°48.YYY

XXX=(A-B)*(C-B)+(A/B)+(A+B)+(A-C)+(B*C)
YYY=XXX+394

For the way back to the carpark I recommend the path lying immediate over the footbridge.

Die Nothklamm ist sicher das Highlight des Caches, sollte man nicht verpassen. Und so eine Kugelmühle hab ich auch noch nicht gesehen. Der GPS-Empfang war mäßig, fürs Spoilerbild war es dank x-bestem Netz mangels Empfang dann leider zu spät, aber irgendwann wurden wir nach viel auf und ab doch noch fündig. Danke für den Cache.

I have been in Gams 8 years ago, but back then there was no time to walk along the geoline trail. AnnaMoritz had this cache on her wish list and so this provided me with an opportunity to walk along a prominent part of the geology trail. The Noth gorge is the highlight of the trail in my opinion and worth the 2 Euro fee. None of the three stages posed an issue for us. I would not have recognized the sulfur spring without the explanation provided by the cache description.

I was impressed by the stone mill. The stone balls that are produced there by the mere force of the water are very beautiful. Nearby there are many cairns. We met a family with four children who were playing at the water.

After having obtained A, B and C (A can be obtained on site again) we calculated the cache coordinates and wondered whether they could be true, but decided to have a look at our candidate location. The reception was very bad and my GPS-receiver behaved very crazy. Due to AnnaMoritz's intution we were finally successful. The cache is in good condition.


Thank you for providing us with an extra motivation to go to Gams and visit the gorge. After the cache we went up to the Kraus cave and visited the geology exhibition in the community centre.


No trade

Sehr schöne Klamm, die gerade bei der Hitze angenehm zu gehen ist. Absolut Hundetauglich!
Gemeinsam mit 27211 durchspaziert. Die Kugelmühle am Ende ist auch sehenswert.

Neim, Cache selbst war es dann nicht so einfach, da das Spoilerbild in der Realität schon sehr verwachsen ist. Gsd konnte 27211 das Zielgebiet doch eruiren und dann war der Cache bald gefunden!

Beim nächsten Mal werden wir die nahe Höhle besuchen.

Ein schöner Cache um jemanden das Cachen zu zeigen!
