Geocache Description:


Today, I would like to introduce you to the city were I'm currently living...I wasn't born in Cologne, but in the near of this incredible City...and now I'm living here! ;)

This Mystery is quite easy. I have some questions, you have some answers. After that, you're going to do some maths and voila...:)

There is a parking spot just in front of the Cache...you have to walk 50m ;) If you're driving on the A7 you'll need...15-20 Minutes.

 

Köln/Cologne/Colonia is a...special city. We inhabitants are really connected to the city. Everybody thinks it's a beautiful city...but many residents think it's ugly ;) And we have a football team which is constantly switching between the first and second league...but the atmosphere in the stadion is incomparable! Really! Believe me! :D

 

1. The biggest emblem of Cologne is the Cathedral, in German "Der Kölner Dom" or "Hohe Domkirche St. Petrus". If you see a picture of the Cathedral, you may think it was build hundreds of hundreds of years ago...but when was the completion :)  A = Year of the completion

2. What is our license tag? B = Value of the letter(s) (A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on)

3. Cologne is an really old City. There are many remains from the old romans everywhere in the City. What was the Name of Cologne in the Roman Empire after getting a "Colonia"? C = Sum of the value of the four initial letters (like B)

4. We have our own language in Cologne. It's difficult to understand, even for germans, if they don't have anything to do with Cologne. Our local beer has the same name as our language...And we are drinking it out of glasses with the size of 0.D liter. So, how big are the glasses? ;)
