Geocache Description:

This is a little trip about 1 kilometer around the « Bildchen ». Take good shoes because it can be slippery, especially in autumn and winter. It's a round trip, so you don't have to take a path twice. You can always stay on some kind of path if your coords are correct. Park your car at N49°44.447 E006°07.895.

From the parking, go to Waypoint 1 at N49°44.441 E006°07.866. Count here the white stripes: A=_

You can already see Waypoint 2 from here, which you can find at N49°44.473 E006°07.916.

At Waypoint 2, count the « windows » (ignore the door and count all the square openings): B=_.

Now you have to calculate Waypoint 3:
N49°44.B(B+5)(A+1)
E006°07.(A+5)(B+5)A

At Waypoint 3, answer the question: What name can you read on the stone (first name)? _ _ _ Faber.

Transform the letters of this name into numbers using this method: A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, … If you have done this, you have to do a calculation (by using the checksum): ¦_ _ ¦ + ¦_ ¦ + ¦_ _¦= _ _ You have to calculate the checksum of the result that you have got ? _ + _ = _ = C. The result ( C ) is a number between 0 and 10.

Now, take the path behind the signal board (see photo) and go uphill to Waypoint 4 (N49°44.483 E006°08.048).

Here, you have to search for a micro. We are not sure if the coords of WP4 are entirely correct because we had problems with our GPS device, so we have made a picture of the place where you have to search (take a look for it at the image gallery). In the micro, you will find: D=_.

When you have found the micro, you can go to Waypoint 5:
WP5 = N49°44.B(A+1)(D-1)
E006°07.D(D-2)(B-3)

At WP5, how many wooden elements has the green bench? E=_

Go to Waypoint 6 at:
N49°44.(A-E)D(C+2)
E006°07.DC(A-B)

At WP6, which number do you see on the blue triangular on the signal board? F=_

Now, you can calculate the final coords:
N49°44.(B-F)D(E-F)
E006°07.(A+C)(D-E)(A+B+F)

Good luck! If some coords are off, it would be very friendly to tell us the correct coords that you have got on your GPS device.
