De Kanecher Wéngertsschleek Multi-Cache
Polanne: After months of street works, I wanted to re-open my cache - looking to replace the missing items, I noticed other works on the Wéngertsbierg himself: the area will be a "nature reserve", and there are now lots of people and work to prepare this! So I decided to archive the cache, I really don't know when there will be quiet times again on the "Wéngertsbierg"? Sorry for this - there will be a new one when evrything's done there ...
