Geocache Description:

Standard geodetic calculation

You can see this cache as an invitation for placing more mathematic caches within this triangle, but first you should solve this one.

When hiding the cache I took my theodolite and placed it over the cache. I did choose three significant points in the landscape (Fringshaus, Konzen, Lammersdorf) and focussed on them.

When reading the respective directions I read on the scale: 339,1234 gon for Fringshaus, 191,7113 gon for Konzen and 35,7266 gon for Lammersdorf.
Later, at home, I found out that the respective WGS-84 coordinates for these points are:
Fringshaus: N 50°37.578' E 6°14.097'
Konzen: N 50°36.180' E 6°14.843'
Lammersdorf: N 50°37.518' E 6°16.143'

Now, you can calculate the coordinates of the location and find the cache.
Good luck.
