Gavriel: Vielen Dank an cbba für das Sicherstellen der Dose, deren Umgebung leider der Motorsäge zum Opfer gefallen ist.
Nachdem ich in absehbarer Zeit sicher nicht dazu komme, dort ein ganz anderes Versteck zu finden, wird der Cache archiviert.

Geocache Description:

Easy but long hike in the Gutensteiner Alps. Mountain hut not always open.


The Kieneck is 1107 m high. On the summit there is a mountain hut (Enzianhütte) which is open on weekends from April to October. From the summit you have a good view towards Ötscher, Schneeberg, Rax and Schneealm.

There are various approaches possible, I took the Enziansteig upwards and the way through the Viehgraben downwards. Parking for this variant is available at N 47° 55.646', E 015 ° 54.036' (about 200m AFTER the parking lot of the restaurant).

The cache is hidden somewhat below the summit because I couldn't find a decent hiding place on the top.

GPS-Reception was somewhat erratic so you may need the spoiler-picture or the hint. I hope the cache is not out of reach after snow-melt. It was a meter above ground when I hid it.

The cache is a small plastic-box (may contain small TBs). Please make sure that the contents is always wrapped in two plastic-bags, as I am not sure about the dryness of this hidingplace. Original contents: Logbook, pencil, cachenote. Beaded lion, sea-turtle, doctor-fish.

Have fun!
