Geocache Description:


A short Multi-cache in Utrecht, nice for the tourists in our town. Take care! Waypoint 1 is available for a short period each year during the springtime. Otherwise go to the alternative to find the cache.

We all talk about Mother Nature, but who is she? In the Netherlands it seems that she wrote her own name. Each year the name grows at the side of the water. To find her name, go to the first coordinate.
To find the cache, go to the second.

Waypoint 1: N 52 °05.071’ - E 05 °07.199’

When you are standing here look at the other side of the water. In flowers you will be able to read the real Dutch name of Mother Nature. Her name is 5 characters. Each character has two digits by its number in the alphabetical order.

Character 1 = AB, Character 2 = CD, Character 3 = EF, Character 4 = GH, Character 5 = IJ

Waypoint 1, the alternative: N 52 °04.880 - E 05 °07.326

You are standing in front of a building with it’s name on a blue plate.
Character 1 of Mother Nature = Character 2 of the name of the building = AB
Character 2 of Mother Nature = Character 5 of the name of the building = CD
Character 3 of Mother Nature = Character 9 of the name of the building = EF
Character 4 of Mother Nature = 3rd Last character of the name of the building = GH
Character 5 of Mother Nature = Character 1 of the name of the building = IJ

Waypoint 2: N 52 °05.KLM - E 05 °07.NOP

To find the cache, make the sums and fill the coordinate above with the results.
J – D = K
F + H = L
C + E + F + G + I = M
5 x AB = NOP

Good luck.

This cache is placed with authorisation of the Municipality Utrecht.
