Waldfischbach 170/246 Traditional Cache

Welcome to Waldfischbach-Burgalben!
A gateway to deep woods, winding roads, and a touch of Pfalz magic. This cache is hidden near the Waldfischbach bus station (Abzw. Hangstraße), served by lines 170 and 246. Whether you’ve arrived from the Waldfischbach Bahnhof or are heading toward the legendary forest ascent to Johanniskreuz, this little stop has more stories than first meets the eye.

🚌 The Setting

At first glance, this bus stop might look like a simple crossroad between villages and valleys but it’s actually perched at the threshold of the Palatinate Forest. Travelers heading uphill on the 246 get a taste of the region’s famous driving road: sweeping bends, dense pine canopy, and the unmistakable scent of woodland air.

Every winter, thousands journey the same route to the Johanniskreuz outdoor Christmas market, a fabled event tucked deep in the forest, illuminated by lanterns, fire pits, and the glow of tradition. If you’re here in the cooler months, you might even catch the faint aroma of roasted almonds drifting on the breeze.

🔍 The Journey

Your approach to this cache may be as simple as stepping off the bus—or as involved as coming down from a forest hike or scenic drive. The area around the stop blends village life with woodland edges. Keep your eyes open: passing hikers, cyclists, or commuters might unwittingly be your “muggles.” Timing and stealth are key.

📦 The Cache

This is a small, discreet container tucked away just within easy reach but not in plain sight. It is placed to survive weather, remain hidden from casual glances, and provide a satisfying moment of discovery for those who know where and how to look.

Inside you’ll find:

• A thin logbook

You will need:

• Bring a small pencil or pen

Make sure everything is sealed tightly. The forest air can be tricky and dampen paper with ease!

👣 Tips & Hints

• You won’t need to enter the street; please do not disrupt bus operations.

• Think like a traveler waiting for a ride: where might something small tuck itself away to observe the world passing by?

🌲 Final Notes

Take a moment to enjoy the unique blend of tranquility and motion at this spot. From here, adventures lead in all directions—toward the station, deeper into the forest, or up the scenic route into the Pfalz highlands.

Happy caching, and may your journey continue with fresh discoveries just a stop away!
