Geocache Description:

This is 1 of 4 "Triwizard Dragon" cache sites.


The Hungarian Horntail

The Triwizard Tournament was first initiated several hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the schools of wizardry: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang.

Each school designated a wizard champion, and the selected champions then competed against each other in a variety of spine-tingling tasks. The tournament continued until the death toll mounted so high that the authorities had to discontinue the event.

There have been several attempts over the centuries to resurrect the Triwizard tournament, none of which has proven very successful. However the Department of Magical Games & Geocaching has decided the time is ripe to have another go at it. Hence the creation of the four connected "Triwizard Tournament" Dragon cache sites:

<center>             
<center>Hungarian Horntail     Swedish Short Snout    Welsh Green      Chinese Fireball
The first task requires the wizard champion to steal a golden egg (in the form of cache coordinates) from each of their respective dragon counterparts. After outsmarting all four dragons, the successful cacher will have in their possession the complete set of required coordinates for the Second Task.

If you choose to continue the challenge, you will find further instructions in the cache description for:

Triwizard Tournament The Goblet of Fire

Each of the four dragon caches are hidden in small magnetized tins. Enough room for a log book, but do not expect to trade any items.
