Geocache Description:


Many German words have "migrated" into the Slovene language. Technology and engineering have provided a lot of these so called Germanisms or loan words (e.g. šporhet from Sparherd or šaltunga from Schaltung). Other Slovene lexical Germanisms come from Austrian German. Often they are related to food and cooking (e.g. štrudl from Strudel or nagelj from Gewürznagel).

 

To receive the set of Northern (N46 05.ABC) and Eastern (E014 24.DEF) coordinates for the physical stage 1, you have to solve the provided crosswords (see related web page at the top or link "Švabščina" below which opens in a new window) and translate the Slovene loan words back into proper German. Pay attention to the correct spelling.


  Švabščina

 

 

 

Don't worry! This mystery cache is not that mysterious at all. Once you have solved the not so difficult crosswords, you have the coordinates for the final. VIEL GLÜCK UND SPASS!
