Tourist @ Dortmund

Diese Cachebeschreibung ist englisch, da die notwendigen Audiodateien ebenfalls englisch sind.

In June 2010 Daniel, N's english exchange partner, will arrive in Dortmund. One of our preparations for his visit was finding out, how we can show him the city of Dortmund. Searching for information in the internet, we found out that the Dortmundtourismus e.V. had published an audio guide for tourists visiting Dortmund during the Football World-Championship in 2006. The only problem was finding it in the internet.
After some searching we found these audio files. Listening to these files even somebody living in Dortmund for a while can learn a lot about Dortmund and places in the inner city. This was the moment the idea for this cache for tourists (and people interested in Dortmund) was born. This cache will guide you on a trip to interesting places at the inner city of Dortmund. There is one audio file belonging to each station of this trip.

For this cache, you need at least the associated audio files and a MP3 player.
Upload the audio files explaining the stations of this cache and which are mandantory to answer some of the questions for the final.
A map guiding you through the complete tour is also available.
