Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. In order to find the cache, you must first solve the riddle in Task One below. Apart from testing your riddle-solving ability, this cache will stretch your legs, require you to use some GPS functionalities and, most importantly, show you a beautiful place. Enjoy!


Task One – Riddle

Solve the following riddle to get the coordinates for Task Two

RI QP TO WI EP QO EU EE EE QU WE QP RP TI UI


Task Two – Rock carvings

Look for a name directly below ”Hans”.
A = Number of letters in this name
B = Value of first letter
C = Value of last letter

Go to the structure (A x C) + (B - C) metres away from these rock carvings


Task Three – Structure

D = Number of wooden planks used as benches inside this structure minus 1


Then calculate:
E = B x (A x D) – (C + D)


Task Four – Find the cache

Look for a passage at E° from the entrance to the structure. Enter.

At the end of the passage (at the junction with another path), project a waypoint for ((B+1) x (C-A) x A) metres at ((B x D) - A)°, where you will find what you are looking for.

***Due to the landscape your GPS signal may be weak here - be prepared for some inaccuracy and use the spoiler photo if required.***
