This geocache looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book, 100H20 (GCMJR4). Colorful, unusual, and intriguing are just a few words to describe the sites found at this geocache in Vienna, Austria.

A traditional geocache located near a very popular Viennese landmark. The Hundertwasser House Vienna was the very first architectural project that Friedensreich Hundertwasser was ever able to build. It has attracted considerable interest worldwide since its opening in 1986, and 70,000 people visited the house on the open day.

Since the creation of this geocache in January 2005, over 12,500 geocachers have signed their name on the log, and yours is next!

While it can be easy to get distracted by the unusual textures and sights that flank the streets, such as the unique architectural features and vibrant colors, one thing must stay top of mind: stay stealthy and find the geocache!

According to the cache owners, Speedfreak, JollyJoker & AnnaMoritz, a few hints have been left on the cache page to guide geocachers to the cache to avoid a crowd spotting the search.

For those who want a little hint, decode the following: nineteeneightyfour.

And for any geocachers who need one more hint: next to a streetlight.

Once the correct streetlight is located, it’s time to search. Does the first hint make sense now? Hidden cleverly in plain sight is the 20-year-old small geocache. It’s time to ink the logbook with the next username and add to the history of the cache and the neighborhood.
