The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, although at certain times of the year this corner serves as a Christmas Tree lot!
To find and log this cache, you must first solve the puzzle below.
This cache is all about the Weihnachtsgurke tradition of hiding a pickle (gurke) shaped ornament on a Christmas (Weihnacht) tree. The first person to find it on Christmas morning is said to receive good luck (or in some cases an extra gift!) Although it is commonly believed to have originated in Germany, there is little to no evidence of this. The tradition actually appears to have been popularized by American retailers in the late 19th-early 20th century to boost sales of glass ornaments imported from Germany. Regardless of where the tradition started, it has become a part of my Christmas celebration every year. Alright, enough talking! Let's get to the presents!
To get the coordinates for this cache, you must find the Weihnachtsgurke in the Christmas tree below. Sometimes it gets hidden very deep in the tree, or even in the back where it is hard to spot. But I am really trying to stay on the Nice list this year, so I hid it in a place that shouldn't be too difficult to find. But what do you do with the Weihnachtsgurke once you've found it? Hmmm... I think I will keep that present wrapped for the time-being! But I am not Krampus so i'll at least give you N39 59' W83 46'
