Geocache Description:


Caution: This cache has not been listed on the Hungarian geocaching website.
It's available only on the geocaching.com.

I am inviting you to the north center of Lake Balaton to take a stroll in Balatonfüred.
There are several interesting things to see in this little town on the way to the box.
It is your cache if you are a patient person and you like the puzzles. Otherwise just take a try…
It takes a couple/lot of hours (it's depends on you...) trough tricky stages while you find finally the last cache.
In exchange I've tried to make a wide variety of hiding.

Special notes for Stages:

Stage 1:
Use your hands.

Stage 2:
See in the hints

Stage 3:
See in the hints.

Stage 4:
Search the combination of character-number. There are 4 of them.
The meaning of characters: directions (for example: N=North, SE=South-East N-NE=North-NorthEast)
The meaning of numbers: how many steps to the next spot.

Stage 5:
Search the combination of character-number. There are 4 of them.
The meaning of characters: directions (for example: N=North, SE=South-East N-NE=North-NorthEast)
The meaning of numbers: how many steps to the next spot.

Stage 6:
Search the combination of character-number. There are 4 of them.
The meaning of characters: directions (for example: N=North, SE=South-East N-NE=North-NorthEast)
The meaning of numbers: how many steps to the next spot.

Stage 7:
Search the combination of character-number. There are 4 of them.
The meaning of characters: directions (for example: N=North, SE=South-East N-NE=North-NorthEast)

Stage 8:
Finally at the building search this number: 1834
Solve this puzzle:

Stage 9:
The key is the hole!

Stage 10:
Look around in this area. First search the the tallest structure. There is a tricolor ribbon on the fence. Number A (4digits)
Then search the "animal" next to the bus station. Look around next to the fence. Number B (4digits)
Finally search the "stump" next to the entrance. Number C (4digits)

Do this math: X= A+B+C

4652123 plus "X" = LATitude of the next cache
1746837 plus "X" = LONgitude of the next cache

Stage 11:
You will find a 4 digits number (X).
Do this math:
4655613 plus "X" = LATitude of the next cache
1750072 plus "X" = LONgitude of the next cache

(alternative X: year on the gate + 20)
