The Original Cache was made by Paraszczak, and can be found here. It is the first i ever found, back in 2009. So i thought it was a shame that, after Paraszczak transferred it to another cacher, it had to be deactivated due the inactivity of the new owner. This listing has of course permission by the original owner. However, since this one has a slighty different route, riddles and final, i decided not to reactivate the old listing but to make a new one.
Happy Caching!
Stage 1: Peter and Paul
N1 = 46° 37.342
E1 = 14° 18.543
You should stand next to a statue of the Virgin Mary. When was it restored? (The last number on the back). Take The crossfoot for K
I suggest to have a look inside the church when it's open. It really looks nice!
Stage 2: The Dragon
N2 = N1 + (24 * K + 1)
E2 = E1 - (17 * K + 3)
The house in the north of you has bulls-eye like windows on the roof. Count them for L
Stage 3: The Founder
N3 = N2 + (3 * L - 1)
E3 = E2 + (3 * L + 2)
Take the crossfoot of the year he became regent (roman numerals) for A
Stage 4: The old town hall
N4 = N3 + (11 * A + 2)
E4 = E3 - (5 * A + 3)
Count the old windows (top 2 floors) of the building in front of you for G
Stage 5: The holy Florian
N5 = N4 + (7 * G - 3)
E5 = E4 + (2 * G - 2)
It seems that one of the persons on this monument was encountered while firting
with a squaw. How often did the leader or the tribe 'punish' him? (=E)
Stage 6: Oldest church in town
N6 = N5 - (3 * E + 3)
E6 = E5 - (9 * E)
Next to the church is a bust of an archduke of austria. Subtract the crossfoot of his year of birt from the crossfoot of his year of death for N
Stage 7: Onstage
N7 = N6 + (5 * N + 2)
E7 = E6 - (32 * N - 1)
In which year of Franz Josephs regency was this building finished? (=F)
Stage 8: Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller
N8 = N7 - (F + G + K)
E8 = E7 - (1,5 * F + 1)
Take the crossfoot of the year on the fountain for U
Stage 9: Harbor
N9 = N8 - (5 * U + 12)
E9 = E8 - (7 * U + 5)
Count the pillars of the bridge for R
Stage 10: Evangelists
N10 = N9 + R
E10 = E9 - (8 * R + 1)
When standing in the front of the church look to the right. Take the number on the blue sign for T.
Cache:
NC = N10 - (E * 11 - A)
EC = E10 - ((K + L + A + G + E + N + F + U + R + T) * 2 - 69)
Since there are many schools in the area, please rehide the cache in a way it can't be found on coincidence - Thank You!
Enjoy!
Special thanks to frettchen, who allowed me to use the style of his cache,
Cache and the City / Villach. Maybe we can make a whole series out of this
The whole path is illuminated, so the cache can easily be done at night.
Since i didn't want to hide a Nano or Micro-Cache, the Final is a bit harder to reach. Take a look at the Spoiler-pic if you cant find it.
The cache initially contains:
- logbook (please don't remove)
- IKEA-Pen
- Austrian Mushroom-TB
- YEN-Coins
- Duck
