Cutia este ascunsa in apropierea varfului Tutuiatu (467m), cel mai inalt din Muntii Macin.
Muntii Macin, situati in partea de nord-vest a Dobrogei, sunt cei mai vechi din Romania. Acestia s-au format in urma cu 300-400 milioane de ani, in timpul orogenezei hercinice. Au rezistat pana in zilele noastre datorita rocilor dure, granite, din care sunt alcatuiti. Fenomenele de eroziune i-au redus la dimensiunile unor dealuri, scotand la iveala rocile din adancime si realizand diverse formatiuni stancoase.
Pentru a ajunge la cache, traseul recomandat este cel care porneste din centrul localitatii Greci, marcat cu triunghi albastru. Traseul are o lungime de 4.3 km si o diferenta de nivel de 430m, iar drumul dus-intors dureaza aproximativ 2.5 ore. Primii 2km din traseu sunt de-a lungul unui drum nemodernizat, si pot fi parcursi cu masina. Cu cateva exceptii, traseul este destul de bine marcat.
Cutia este ascunsa la o mica distanta de varf, de unde se deschide privitorului o imagine panoramica diversa: formatiuni stancoase ale varfului Tutuiatu, urmate de varful Ghiunaltu cu pantele sale abrupte si lipsite de vegetatie; in vale, localitatea Greci, si valea Morsu pe care am urcat. In departare se distinge Culmea Pricopanului, si dincolo de ei orasul Macin. Inspre dreapta distingem varful Cavalu, jumatate pasune si jumatate impadurit. In continuare se deschide o priveliste larga cu padurile din Muntii Macin, iar in departare se observa localitatea Luncavita.
Cutia este de tip clic-clac de 1.4 litri. Desi plasata foarte aproape de varf, terenul o ascunde de turistii de pe traseu, geocacherii putand s-o caute in voie.

The cache is hidden near peak Tutuiatu (467m), the highest peak in Macin mountains.
Macin mountains, located in the northwest of Dobrogea, are the oldest in Romania. They formed 300-400 million years ago, and survived to this day because they are made of a hard rock, granite. Erosion reduced them to the size of hills, bringing to light the rocks and shaping various rock formations.
To reach this cache, the recommended route starts from the center of Greci town, and is marked with blue triangle. The trail has a length of 4.3 km and an elevation gain of 430m, and the round trip takes about 2.5 hours. The first 2 km are along an unpaved road, which can be driven upon. The trail is adequately marked, except in a few places.
The container is hidden a small distance from the summit, and from here the tourist can admire a diverse panoramic view: rock formations on Tutuiatu, followed by the steep rocky slopes of Ghiunaltu peak, devoid of vegetation. Below, Greci town and Morsu valley along which we hiked. In the distance Pricopanului ridge can be seen, and beyond them Macin city. Towards the right is Cavalu peak, half pastures and half wooded. Next opens a wide view of the Macin Mountains' forests, and in the distance Luncavita town can be seen.
You are looking for a 1.4 liter lock'n'lock type container. Even if placed very close to the peak, the terrain hides it from the tourists on the trail, and geocachers can search undisturbed.
