Ruine von Schloss Eschenlohe 1824 (Kupferstich von Johanna Isser)

Auf einem Hügel östlich von St. Pankraz thront der Burgfried der Ruine Eschenlohe. Bereits im 12. Jahrhundert wurde auf diesem Hügel eine Burg erbaut, die das gesamte Tal abriegelte und den zu ihren Füßen verlaufenden Ultner Talweg überwachte. Die damals noch "Veste Ulten" genannte Burg kam erst nach einem Besitzwechsel und wahrscheinlich auch Neubau im 13. Jahrhundert zu ihrem heutigen Namen "Burg Eschenlohe".
Über die Jahrhunderte wechselte die Burg oft ihren Besitzer und verfiel zusehends. Die Grafen von Trapp besaßen die Burg ab dem 15. Jahrhundert und verkauften sie 1990, woraufhin der Turm in eine Sommerresidenz umgebaut wurde. Er kann also leider nicht besichtigt werden. Es gibt vor Ort aber mehrere Informationstafeln, die die Geschichte der Burg und des zu ihren Füßen liegenden Baumannhofes erklären.
Der Cache liegt in der Umgebung des Burgfriedes und kann ohne Kletterei oder Zerlegen der alten Mauern gehoben werden. Denke scharf nach und vergiss nicht die Größe des Caches (small).


English

On a hill eastwards of St. Pankraz the majestic caste keep of ruin Eschenlohe is visible from afar. Already in the 12th century a castle was built on this hill. It was capable of blocking the whole valley entrance and so kept control over the path to Ulten Valley on its feet. Back in those times the castle was called "Veste Ulten" and got its current name "Castle Eschenlohe" only after a change of owner and a rebuilding in the 13th century.
Over the centuries the castle changed its owner multiple times and decayed continously. Since the 15th century the earls of Trapp owned the building but sold it in 1990 whereupon the castle keep was alternated to a summer residence. Unfortunately it can't be visited but there are multiple information panels telling the castles story and also of the farm beneath it.
The cache is hidden in the neighbourhood of the keep and can be found without climbing or demolition of the ancient walls. Just keep in mind its size (small) and think.
