The cache is hidden near the highest point in a typical and
fairly obvious hideout. The cache was hidden in winter. Although
there was snow the hideout was accessible without any problems.
Take along a good map. In winter it may be a good idea to bring
along snow-shoes (we were glad to have them).
One of the possible tours: The tour can be made as a roundtrip
from the inn Apfelbauer (have a look at the Google-Earth-Snapshot
for our track). From there you hike up via several lonesome houses
(Tuft, Wegscheid, In der Grub, Schmoll, Tiefenbach, Haselbauer) to
the summit of Plattenstein. There is a small hut up there
(Gauermannhütte, open on weekends only, during winter-time it is
closed). From there the path leads in a southwesterly direction
towards Katharinenschlag (and the cache). From there continue
further (southwest) until your reach the path leading downhill
towards Blättertal (watch out for strangely behaving sheep there
). From there it is possible to take
the longer way via Kaisereben.
We decided to take a shortcut and headed eastward towards "Im
Wald". Beware, this path is not very easy to find, at least not in
winter. And it is not a very smooth path either (in the upper part
path and brook sort of mixed up).
This roundtrip accounts for almost 16 km.
The cache is a small Lock-Lock-Box. Initially it contained a
logbook, a duck, a turquoise bird and a dinosaur. Please bring your
own pen! The cache is covered with a flat stone, please do not
forget to replace this stone after rehiding.
Have Fun!
