Visit a park close to the city center in order to enjoy the beauty of nature and feed small residents of the area :)

Interesting facts

About the cache:

Coordinates will bring you to a white sign close to the bridge. In this sign you'll have to gather the following information:

B - Number of times that the letter "z" appears on the sign.

The final location of this cache is under given coordinates:

N51° 46.X' E019° 28.Y'

X = A*A*A+B*B*B+120

Y = A*A*B-A*B-29

A small container with a logbook. After finding, make sure you put the cache exactly on the same place and provide the same masking.

P.S. Bring your own pen and some bread to feed ducks :)
