Description    Deutsch (German)

Start your trip at the parking place near
N 46° 24.509 E13° 10.628

Follow the old donkey-road (until recently none of the two Mogessas could be reached by car) in about 1 to 1.5h to Mogessa di Qua.

The two villages are separated by the deep gorge of Rio del Mulin which takes its name from an old, now defunct mill at the bottom of the gorge. Thats where the cache is hidden.

Coming from Mogessa di Qua descend the path to its sister village until you can see the ruins of the mill below you. Find the tiny footpath which leads to the mill and search for the cache near the wooden waterwheel. You don't have to enter the ruins of the mill - the cache is hidden on its outer side.

You can find a thorough description of the hiking route here
The whole roundtrip takes about 3h. If you want a longer hike you could cross the valley of T. Glagno and continue on to Stavoli, another village without roads.

FTF!! Lachend
Incredible place!! If you think that just 100 years ago many and many persons, as you can guess from the stone mill, lived here, probably all their life, with many different stories.. On out way up from Moggio to Moggessa di Qua we founded a carved stone in memory of the pain for the dead of a ten years old boy, exactly in 1910, fallen into the mill gorge. After the cache we continued to Moggessa di La' and then to Stavoli and down to Campiolo. The path is marked and in the villages some signs. It was a very beautiful, instructive tour!!
