Description
This virtual cache will take you to three of the most beautiful scenic viewpoints of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. You have the knightly honour to visit the scenic viewpoints to the castles of Vianden, Brandenbourg and Bourscheid.
Before your castle tour begins, please make sure to prepare a paper with your cacher name and the date of your visit, and do not forget to bring/to be ready to become a ghost.
The driving distances from parking to parking of the different Virtual Stages are as follows: PK Bourscheid --> PK Brandenbourg 6.5 km (approximately 7 minutes drive by car); PK Brandenbourg --> PK Vianden 12.4 km (approximately 15 minutes drive by car).
The overall walking distance of this cache is about 3 km. (Bourscheid Castle 2 km; Brandenbourg Castle 900 metres ; Vianden Castle Drive In).
Roughly, I would say that for the driving, walking, photo shooting and the collecting of information, you have to foresee approximately from 1:30 hour to 2:00 hours. The places are definetely worth to be visited, and you should really take your time to enjoy the scenic views.
