Geocache Description:

The hunt will take about 8-9 hours hiking and about 1600 hm to the top. The rating is done with the wellknown system and I fully agree with it.

You can not judge over the beauty of a valley without seeing it from the top. - So I thought placing a cache on the top might be a good idea. The cache is hidden at the summit of the "Reisskofel" (see pic 1). I didn't want to make this a multicache because there are several ways up to it. I will describe the route that i like best:

Parking place: N46 41.459 E13 14.819
Leave your car here and follow the way Nr 229 "Reisskofelweg" to the left.

Nice view: N46 41.523 E13 12.629
After 2 hours you should be at this location where you can have a break and look at the beauty of the Gitschvally


Kleiner Reisskofel (Little Reisskofel): N46 41.238 E13 09.495
The secound summit on your tour but the first one with a summit cross. - Be careful on your further way and fix your sticks on your backpack before leaving the Little Reiskofel heading for the cache.

No fear: N46 41.220 E13 09.168
One of my favourite parts of the hike. You will understand the title once you are there... ;-)

The cache: N46 41.149 E13 08.805
The cache is hidden about 2 meters down from the fixing point of the northern steel rope in a rockhole. Be carefull when you look for the cache!!


WARNING: You should be able to go 1300 hm without beeing totally exhausted because the last 45 min are dangerous if you are not highly concentrated!!

The cache initially contained:

  • Office - sign
  • Graphics adapter (If the view is not so good)
  • A travellock
  • Some parfum (if you're smelling a bit ;-)
  • A biro

Happy Geocaching
