Geocache Description:

This was originally a simple virtual geocache but it proved to be too easy so I turned into a multi. This virtual multi geocache can be found in our first capital.

The place would merit a real cache but traffic is sometimes so heavy that it would be difficult to remain unobserved, so there was no other choice. Pages could be filled with the history of the town but I would not go into it now. If you are interested please take a look at the website Esztergom.
The password is a 10 letter word (or rather 8 letters and 2 numbers). Write it in one, in the order of the points to visit.
1. The first point can be seen at the coordinates above. The first two letters of the password are the first two letters of the object held in the hands of the person standing.
2. The second coordinates are:
N 47° 47.988'
E 18° 44.203'
Here you have to note the monogram of the sculptor. You can find it on the pedestal of the sculpture.
3. The third coordinates are:
N47° 47.728'
E18° 44.502'
Note the first letters of the two-word Latin expression on the milestone.
4. The fourth coordinates are:
N 47° 47.585'
E 18° 44.502'
This is a high-water mark. The day of the date (two numbers) should interest you.
5. The fifth coordinates are:
N 47° 47.711'
E 18° 43.839'
On the bridge railings on a stainless steel plate you will need the two letters on the Hungarian side from a text of four letters. You can take a walk on the bridge without a passport, the passport control is on the Slovak side. But if you came this far it could be a good idea to cross to Slovakia and have an ice cream on the main square in Párkány (Sturovo).
It is faster to walk than to go by car. I hope I didn't mix the points up. It won't be difficult, because the whole trip doesn1t take more than an hour. Of course these aren't the most popular and most known places but I was looking for something that cannot be found virtually :)
If you are finished and looked at everything (there is a lot to see) I have one more suggestion: there is a great view of Esztergom from the Szent Tamás (Saint Thomas) mountain. (The easy way up is from the 3. point on the serpentine road.
Have a good walk!
pHs.: Some said that it wasn't fair to change it into a multi. In my opinion finding it virtually isn't fair.

(Translator's note: Foreigners may have trouble with the first two letters of the password. Send me an E-mail telling what the object is and I'll tell you its name in Hungarian.)
