Geocache Description:

An about 6 km long hike along the stream Steinbach for which a pair of off-road shoes will be of great help.

The 2nd Take A Hike multicache leads through the beautiful valley/canyon of the Steinbach.
This stream, together with the Weser and the Getzbach, feeds the Lac d'Eupen with drinking water.

Depending on the time of the year it varies from a shallow brook to a roaring river, but at all times, the whole of valley and stream is a magnificent place to be.
Some lumber work directly after WP1 can make you loose your way (be persistent) and is not too supportive for the beauty of this canyon, but the rest of the stroll will make up for this inconvenience.

It is about a 6 km long hike partly along good roads and partly with no roads at all. Good off road shoes are strongly recommended. In wet periods you can't expect to stay clean Unless you have a mountain bike, don't even try to do the trip on wheels.


You can park your car at N50 37.631 E6 11.161.

WP1:
The coordinates in the header point to the first waypoint. At this waypoint you will see an information sign with a map.
Somewhere at the map there is a (belgium) postal code (postal code = abcd).
To calculate the coordinates for waypoint 2: N50 37.(b-d)(b-c/2)(a+c-b) E6 09.b(b-a/2)b

WP2:
At WP2 you will stand in front of a number of trees at the edge of the canyon. e = number of trees
To calculate the coordinates for waypoint 3: N50 37.(a+2)(b-d)(e+1) E6 09.c(b+1)(a-e-1)

WP3:
At WP3 (you will see a human made contruction which you should use).
How many posts should take care of your safety when using the construction. f= number of posts - 2
The final coordinates will be calculated as follows: x = a*b*f+1 and y = f*c-e
N50 37.x E6 10.y
