This is a rather difficult cache by the Tour de Austria team. Not
to hard to find but you have to hike a hight difference of 1300m.
It's a 8km small trail which mostly goes up rather steep. If you're
not an experienced hiker please do not try to find this cache. Also
carefully check the mountain weather conditions before starting the
hike. Typically it will take you around 3.5 hours to get up and 2.5
hours to come down again..
This special cache is dedicated by the team Tour de Austria to
Denise. She, daughter, sister, sister in law, and aunt to the
members of our team, has suddely died on Febuary 28th 2004, at the
age of 40. She leaves a husband, a daughter, a son and us on this
world. We want to memorialize her by this cache, we ask the
visitors of this cache to take home a candle, and light it, so she
will still travel all over the world in our thoughts. Thank you,
fellow Geocachers!
