Lainzer Tiergarten III - Villa Leone Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

PlanetEarth: Wir waren heute dort nachsehen: Klar war es der Cachebaum, der umgefallen ist. Könnte es denn anders sein? Da leider kein anderes Versteck in der Nähe war, das mir gefallen hätte, wird der Cache schweren Herzens archiviert. Durch die Steighilfen im Stamm war es nicht so ein 0815-Versteck wie sonst...

Noch ein Wort zum Cache selbst: Die Box war durch den Baumfall zwar aus dem Versteck gefallen, die Dose war aber von der anderen Stammseite her gut sichtbar. Schlumpfbiene hätte ihn also finden und loggen können...

Bleibt mir nur noch mich bei den 160 Findern zu bedanken!

Happy caching, PlanetEarth

Geocache Description:

The cache is located in "Lainzer Tiergarten" in the southwest of Vienna. Lainzer Tiergarten is a popular recreation-area, a former hunting ground of the emperor.

This cache is the third one of three caches in this area. (See also "Lainzer Tiergarten I" and "Lainzer Tiergarten II".)

During archeological excavations a roman mansion was found some years ago. After the scientists had done their work, soil was put over all again. Today there is nothing visible. (An info sheet about the excavation can be retrieved at the entrance.)

Details about Lainzer Tiergarten can be found at:

(in german).
You can park in the village of "Laab im Walde" and walk to Laaber Tor.

The trail is most of it`s length a tarmac walk. Strollers can be used. Only the very last meters before the cache you have to leave the way. No special equipment is needed. Animals and bikes are not allowed. Length: short, Difference in Height: only a few meters.

Opening hours: From mid-february till mid of november everyday at least 9 to 5 (depending on the season. See notice at the door!). In winter the park is closed except a short period from 24th of december till 6th of january (only "Nikolai-Tor" and "Lainzer Tor" are open during this period!). Don´t get locked in!

NB: The above difficulty and terrain rating was done with the program from geocaching.com. To be internationally comparable I`m using this result. (See the discussion in the forum also.) My personal opinion is the same.
