The Zselic is a beautiful hilly country in the south-west part of Hungary in Somogy county. This cache is hidden on the top of the highest hill of the western part of Zselic.
You have 2 opportunities to find the cache:
1st: This is the recommended. Parking place is in front of the tourist center "Vándor" in the village called Zselickisfalud, which can be reached from the city Kaposvár. Coordinates of parking place: N 46° 16.160' E 17° 43.859'.
From there you must follow the green triangle tourist sign, which starts to west, but after a short time it leads southwards to the cache. Unfortunately it is not too easy to find, where it goes up the hill, but if you have a gps, you won't lose your way.
On the top of the hill, there stands a big tower made of concrete, but that's closed, you can't go up. Some years ago it was opened, and one could go up and could see a beautiful panorama. Now it's unfortunately impossible.
2nd: If you want to see more beautiful parts of this hilly county, you can walk a 17 km long circle from Zselickisfalud. The parking place is the same as in the 1st opportunity, but it is recommended to start your walking to north-northeast, on the blue strip and the green square sign. The way leads into an other village, called Szilvásszentmárton, and after the village's church it leads into the nature. If you reach the coords: N 46° 16.208' E 17° 42.598', you must follow the green strip sign. After a time you will reach the spring "Mátyás kútja", with a resting place. Coords: N 46° 15.031' E 17° 41.901'. Then go further on the green sign. You will reach an asphalt-road, and after a while the sign turns to right and goes up a hill. The path leads to the little village Visnyeszéplak. At the edge of the forest, you will see the lonely grave of the legendary highwayman "Nagy Pali". Coords: N 46° 13.235' E 17° 42.934'. Then you can follow the green triangle sign to the cache, and when you found it, you can reach the parking place in Zselickisfalud on this sign too.
