Geocache Description:

A simple traditional cache in the forest south of Darmstadt. No tricks, no clues, just a nice walk in the trees.

While defending imaginary castles on small hills, children in Britain may be heard singing,
"I'm the king of the castle, and you're the dirty rascal."
The 'king' is the current winner of whatever the children's game is, and the 'rascal' is the no-good village idiot loser - the one at the bottom of the hill, under the tree, who fell from the chair, and so on. You get the idea.

You can think of this cache in two ways - either the cache is the rascal because it is not yet at the top of the hill, or you - the hunter - are the rascal and the cache is the king. You will understand all this when you try to find it!

Note that GPSr reception can be poor at this location due to the tree coverage.

The nearest public transport is the end station of tram #9 - Bollenfaltor, or take the 'R' bus to the Polizei Praesidium. The cache is only 10-15 minutes walk from these places, but it might take you longer to find the Rascal...


You are looking for a small, square plastic container, with original contents:
  • Logbook
  • Pencil and sharpener
  • A map of London underground
  • A pen radio
  • A coaster (Johnie Walker whiskey)
  • Keyring (originally from Halali cache)
Good luck!
