Geocache Description:

Upload the waypoint to to gps, and be sure to have a map also! Tha cache is a few steps away from to track.

The Great-Phaeton Waterfall. As Czaran calls it. Nowadays it's known as Bohodei waterfall. It is the greatest waterfall in the Bihori-mountains. The stream falls 97 meters in more steps.

The approaching of the waterfall is easier from Pietroasa. Leave the village in direction of Boga-village, and after ~2kms, turn left, in direction of Sebisel Pension ( waypoint). The bridge doesn't looks like a life insurance, but it's better then the following :)
Then, after 3-3.5 kms, follow the road going to Canton Aleului. If your car isn't 4x4, leave there, at the forester's house ( waypoint).
If your car is 4x4, you can follow the road another 3.5 kms ( waypoint).

After ~100 meters, the track signed with blue triangle starts with a huge steep path into the forest. ( waypoint)

Following the path is easy, but the surface isn't effortless. The path mostly goes high above the stream, but once you have to cross it.( waypoint)

From there, 1 km left, but it'll be steep also.

The cache is in a hole in a rock, a few steps away from the track.

The 5 star terrain starts before the 'waterfall' board. There you can find chains for climbing... but please don't use it. If you have rope, carbine, and so one, you may try to climb up, but in case if you don't, please miss it.
