Showing you around the lake Multi-Cache

DISCLAIMER:

The cache location has been moved as of 9 Nov 2019 due to muggles at the original location.

VERY IMPORTANT: READ THE ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE STARTING.

Hello all, and welcome to my multi-cache "Showing you around the lake". This geocache consists of 6 waypoints that are located in a full circle around the lake. You should end up somewhere close to where you started. Of course the coordinates of the final location of the physical geocache are hidden - you'll need to find them by going to the waypoints and answering questions.

Length of trip = about 5 kilometers/3 miles.
Duration on foot = about 1-1.5 hours.
Duration by bike = about 20-40 minutes.

The artificial lake of Tirana is truly a beautiful place and totally worth any tourist's visit. The word "artificial" may not sound as promising, but you can really enjoy the pure nature of the forest and the lake. Though infrastructure elsewhere in Albania might be slightly lacking, the path around the lake is in top condition and is easily accessible, even by wheelchair! The route is also very doable by bike, but you can of course also walk it.

Underneath this bit of text you can find several waypoints. The waypoints are located every couple hundreds of meters along the path. For every waypoint, there is a question you have to answer, which gives you a number each. In total you'll have 6 numbers, with which you can find the final coordinates.

I didn't make the questions very difficult, simply because I don't want you to have a hard time finding this geocache. Anyone should in my opinion be able to find this cache. I just want you to have a good time and enjoy the beautiful side of Tirana.

Should you still have trouble finding the answer to any question or have any problems whatsoever, you can of course always send me a private message on Geocaching.com so I can help you.

One last thing - I’d love it if you shared your experiences and stories when you post your log. Just tell me something about why you’re here, how you liked doing the cache, what you think of the lake, etc. I enjoy reading those kind of logs better than a quick “tftc”

Here we gooo. Good luck!
