Geocache Description:

The lower section of the Ropotamo is a nature reserve since 1940 and a protected area. The lower Ropotamo is a popular tourist attraction because of the water lilies and the rock formations above the river, on some of which white-tailed eagles nest. Come on for an adventure here!

The above coordinates are NOT the real coordinates of the final cache (as it always happens with those nasty puzzle caches, right?!)

Again, you’ll have to solve a little riddle in order to get the straight coordinates you are looking for. As you go at the coordinates listed above; you should easily figure out a way to find out the coordinates you need. Of course; in case you don’t find the answer to the riddle; you can go and search at all given coordinates. But that will be quite harder!

And so, the riddle that looks simple but is not is:

If you follow the river from the sea to the coordinates given above; what do you find on the right river-bank at this point: N42 19.447 E27 45.001?

If it’s an abandoned ship, then go to N42 18.043 E27 43.774

If it’s a fisherman’s cabin, then go to N42 18.006 E27 43.735

If it’s an old sailboat, go to N42 18.130 E27 43.723

If it’s an interesting rock formation, go to N42 18.027 E27 43.712

At the right coordinates; you will find your cache.

Happy caching!
