Geocache Description:

Find the hole in the desert and have a shower while enjoying the view on the dunes and vegetation... Also answer a quiz about the trees in this area.


This Cache is off the road and you have to drive through sand and dunes. So be prepared and a skilled 4x4 offroad driver or walk the path (but keep in mind in summer it's up to 45°C out there).

They call that place 'Meteorite Hole', but actually its a sinkhole. Groundwater level isn't far from solid ground in this area so the hole filled up with salty water.
Check out the other Waypoints in this Cache also related to water in the desert: One pond and two drilled wells on the way back to the highway. If you take a shower at the wells please set all the valves back to their original positions as you found them initially.

Quiz (The answer to the following question can be found in the cache): Why do all the trees in this area have that particular "haircut"?
