Geocache Description:

The Cache is GONE - I will replace it ASAP - Update will follow on this page!

A film canister placed downtown smack in the middle of the pedestrian area !

You will have to demonstrate some sleight of hand for retrieving and replacing the cache unnoticed.


The cache can not be seen (that is, unless you are a cat, mouse, ant, etc.).

There is a nice cafe in front of the cache where you can write your log entry (on the back of the geocaching note please).

You will have to bring a pen or borrow one from a waiter/waitress at the cafe.

Bear in mind that this is a microcache in a 35mm film canister, so there is not much space for items and the cache is actually full with the initial contents.

Initial contents are:

A USB-to-PS/2 converter, 10 french francs, a lapel pin made like a MS Mouse

The challenge here is to find the cache without raising suspicion from passer-bys. So do a good recce of the surroundings and ask yourself "If I were a cat and had to hide that 35mm canister, where would I put it ?" You will come up with two (similar) possibilities - so kneel down, tie one shoelace (or pretend to do so) - feel around and if you do not find it, take three steps to the second possibility and 'tie' the other shoelace.

I had made a mistake putting in the coordinates when I created this page. That has now been corrected thanks to Martin Rudy and Gerhard Schwanz who where friendly enough to point out my mistake. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you need a place to park your car, there's a parking lot at the original (messed up) Coordinates for this cache : N50 05.098 E8 26.891
