Duesternbrook
This cache replaces an older one, which was listed two years ago, but was never found (it disappeared quickly after it was hidden). We hope this one will have more success.
Duesternbrook, built during the German government in 1908, is the oldest guest farm in Namibia (since 1962). Only 50 Kilometers from Windhoek, it offers much wildlife and landscape. Activities are Game Drives, Scenic mountain Drives, Riding Safaris and Hiking. A long distance trail starts at the farm. The photos you see below we made during our two-nights-stay on the farm in July 2012. All animals live wild on the 12.000 acres farm land.
This is a short multi. The stations are all next to the main farm building; the final is about 200 meters outside:
Go to 22° 16.199 S, 16° 54.049 E
You are in front of one of the doors to the main building. Go inside and see ten hunting trophies hanging from the walls of this room (today in Duesternbrook the shooting of fotos is much more important than the hunting, but all older farms and lodges are decorated with trophies). Look at the wall opposite the door you came through: Here the trophies of cattles, not of wild animals hung. How many trophies do you see on this wall? The answer is A
Go to 22° 16.203 S, 16°54.050 E
Now you are in the "recreation area" with a row of palms, a swimming-pool, a bar, a dining-room and a terrace with an outlook to the revier nearby. In front of you a little bench surrounds a table. How many legs sustain the bench (ignore the leg of the surrounded table!)? The number is B
Go to 22° 16.161 S, 16° 54.048 E
You are in front of three of the guestrooms. You see C elefants walking toward a door with the room-number C on it and a cooker with C doors below the elefants. What is C?
Go to 22° 16.167 S, 16° 54.029 E
Now you are next to the door to the Information Center. Come inside and it will inform you about many things, for example the hiking trails and the activities, the farm-history etc. But the main theme are the leopards and cheetahs. Look to your right and you see a very big (3x2 meters) and fascinating photo. How many leopards do you see on it? The answer is D
The final is at 22° 16. D, B-A, B South 16° 54. D, C+A, A East under the end of a thin, vertical rock, covered with some stones. Please ensure, that it stays totally covered. Mr. Vaatz, the owner of Duesternbrook, informed us, that otherwise the apes living there could steal the blue box.
Special thanks to Torsten and to Kalina.
