About the Garden

This is a lost Garden of Stone (Graveyard / Friedhof) near Bruchmühlbach-Miesau that I noticed out of the corner of my eye one day while riding my Harley and from the looks of it, has not had much human contact in decades.

When I first arrived at this place I was amazed at all the work that had done here and wondered what it looked like when the owner still cared for it.

This place brings to mind many questions. Who built it? When was it built? When did the person or people who loved this place die? Why doesn't anyone from their family or friends still care about this place?

If anyone knows any information about this place please let me know. (You can write me in German since I can read German. But if I wrote in German you all would probably laugh at my spelling and grammer!)

I imagine that this spot was probably very well taken care of before World War II and maybe the person was killed or taken away.

I have learned that this location was the burial place of a family so please respect it.

About the Cache

Park your car at the parking coordinates. It is 200m away from stage 1. You can walk along the road (may be dangerous) or take the path through the forest.

Find the Gravestone at stage 1 (at the top of the stairs). It will provide clues to help you find the final location. Retrieve the following information:

A = Year of Elisabeth's birth (Geburtsjahr Elisabeth)
B = Year of Elisabeth's death (Todesjahr Elisabeth)

Go to the final coordinates at:
N 49.2(4530-A) E 7.2(8981-B)

Additional Information

Do not upload photos of the gravestone. They will be deleted without notice or explanation.

A flashlight is necessary or least helpful in the day and the night to read the inscription.
