Geocache Description:

As far as I know the first cache in LA (=Lower Austria)

In the lovely village Haugschlag near Litschau just follow the signs marked „Hutstein“ (=Hat Stone). The Hutstein, beeing a "Natural Monument", should not be altered by anybody, so I placed the cache more or less nearby.

The cache container is a cylindrical metal coffee box with a small also cylindrical plastic box inside. All this is wrapped in a yellow plastic bag. The box contains
- clothespin
- small candle
- matchbox
- teabag
- 10 Groschen coin (former ATS 0.10)
- hairclip with penguin on it
- as well as a logbook and a pencil
(please do not remove).

Good luck to everybody
