Geocache Description:

This is a nice yet longer multi, that will take you through important sites of early Ramat Gan

Posted coordinates are in front of Krinitsi House, on Krinitsi St #64

There will be 2 more stages and a final location.


All stages are pretty much in the same area, 5 minutes walk from one to the next.
