Geocache Description:

Walk of a length of approx. 4 km

Cache "Es war einmal am Plattenberg"

Die deutsche Version gibt es bei opencaching.de

The cache provides an extended promenade or a small walk
respectively of a length of approx. 4 km.
Having a (GPS) map of trails, you can reach almost every location by
footpath or on forest track.
On rainy days it may be muddy.
In any case you should wear sturdy shoes.
You must go "off road" twice with slightly climbs.
A closed snow cover probably prevents finding the stash.

A German version is available on opencaching.de

Stage 0:

At

E009°10.700'

you can park your car.

Now follow the asphalt road for approx. 0.1 miles.
There is a public parking place (also possible for parking).

Here you will get the following information for the coordinates
of stage 1:

(1) When was the founding year of the "Tennisclub"?
Year = AAAA

(2) Look out for MIL-BBBB
Number = BBBB

Stage 1 you will find at

N 49°52.CCC'
E009°11.DDD'

The numbers CCC and DDD are calculated as follows:

CCC = AAAA - 1462
DDD = BBBB - 1767

Stage 1:
--------

At stage 1 you will find the coordinates of stage 2.

Exercise: On the way to stage 1 there is a rise. How many stone stairs
lead up from the track. Memorize the number:

Number of stairs = EE

Note: There is no need to enter any areas cordoned off.
Step only on ground you are allowed to.
Approach Stage 1 from above. Depending on weather
you need more or less climbing skills.
A Rope is helpful, but not necessary.

Stage 2:

Stage 2 is stage VI of the greatest cacher ever lived on earth. Here
you find an inscription:

(1) Count the words of the inscription.
Number of words = F

(2) Count the Letters of the inscription.
Number of letters = GG

Follow His way up to stage 3 until

N 49°52.HHH'
E009°11.III'

It is

HHH = F + 924
III = GG + 146

Stage 3:
--------

Here you find an inscription above the door.

(1) Count the letters of the inscription.
Number of letters = JJ

The final is yet very close! It is at

N 49°52.KKK'
E009°11.LLL'

The last calculation is:

KKK = EE + 863
LLL = JJ + 267

Have fun with logging and trading.
