Geocache Description:

This cache is easy to reach on foot, not far from the center of Magdeburg. It is within walking distance of the train station, if you like to walk. :-) I hope it will provide a fun afternoon of searching!

The cache is a typical-sized plastic box within an hour's walk of the Magdeburg train station. It is hidden at ground level under some branches, leaves, and similar stuff. To help you find it, here are some notes: It is about 12 meters at bearing 270° from the base of a fallen tree at N 52° 7.424' E 11° 38.429', and it is about 15 to 20 meters at bearing 150° from the vertically-cut stump at N 52° 7.430' E 11° 38.409'. The box should be visible from the south.

[Note added September 2002: The vertically-cut stump may not be a usable landmark; I couldn't find it again. I think it is covered with leaves, so it may be visible during some parts of the year. After your visit, please leave the box only partly covered, so that the next person can find it. (If it is completely covered, it is too difficult to find.) During part of the year, the area has nettles (stinging plants, called >>Nessle<< in German, I believe), but there aren't any nettles at the cache itself.]

Be careful of the environment; while hiding it, I saw two deer and a hare. (No telling how many saw me first!)

Because this cache was hidden during the Internacia Festivalo, an Esperanto gathering, below are the cache instructions in Esperanto. (Alas, I don't speak German. I would be glad to have a good translation of the instructions into German; if anyone will send it to me, I'll see about including it here. Thanks!)

Tiu cxi trezorumajxo estas kutimampleksa plasta skatolo, proksima al la Magdeburga stacidomo perpiede je malpli ol unu horo. Gxi kasxigxas cxe teralteco sub iom da brancxoj, folioj, k.s. Por helpi la sercxanton, jen notoj: La skatolo trovigxas proksimume 12 metrojn laux direkto 270° de la fundo de falinta arbo cxe N 52° 7.424' E 11° 38.429', kaj proksimume 15 gxis 20 metrojn laux direkto 150° de la vertikale trancxita stumpo cxe N 52° 7.430' E 11° 38.409'. La skatolo estu videbla de la sudo.

[Noto aldonita dum septembro de 2002: La vertikale-trancxita stumpo eble ne plu utilas kiel termarko; mi ne povis gxin trovi denove. Lauxsxajne gxi kovrigxis per folioj, do eble gxi videblas dum partoj el la jaro. Post la vizito, bv. lasi la skatolo nur parte kovrita, por ebligi ke la sekvanto povos gxin trovi. (Se gxi estus tute kovrita, estus tro malfacile trovi.) Dum parto de la jaro, la regiono havas pikemaj plantoj (nomitaj >>Nessle<< germane kaj "nettles" angle, mi pensas), sed ne estas tiaj plantoj cxe la skatolo mem.]

Estu zorgema pri la naturo. Kasxante, mi vidis du cervojn kaj leoporon. (Neniu scius kiom unue min vidis!)
