Cache hidden in a wonderful canyon - for experts only.
Follow the federal highway to the sign Roveredo (between
Chiusaforte and Moggio Udinese). Now follow the street only 2km /
1,2 miles to the small village Roveredo, there is enough parking
space near a playground. Follow the road for a few more meters,
then turn right on a marked path. Stay on this path - first narrow
and ascending steeply then on a broader track which leads to a
crossing near an iron cross. Here stay on the level path leading
into the valley until you reach a steep creekbed. Turn right
downwards on the path marked with a white square with a blue dot
and follow this path for about 20min until it reaches the creekbed
of Rio Simon.
To find the cache you dont't really need a GPS (accuracy about 30m
when hiding the box), instead take the spoiler photos with you).
The Cache is hidden on the top of the 33m waterfall, about 8 meters
behind the edge under a rock.
