Geocache Description:

This is a quick three stage cache introducing two not so well known art museums close to each other in a quiet neighbourhood, ending near a quite beautiful spot.

Starting the hunt on Wednesdays at 15.30 and Sundays at 11.30 is recommended (and please send a message if you find this information inaccurate), except in July, when any day except Monday will just have to do...


The initial coordinates will take you to the Didrichsen Art Museum. See [1] for opening times and other information. A few meters N from the coordinates you'll find something interesting. Below it is a number: x. A bit further away, NW from the initial coordinates, is another thing. There the number of letters on the sign right next to the ground is y.

  • To get A, subtract the sum of the first two digits of x from the sum of the last two digits of x.
  • For B, add the first and last digits of x.
  • C = yB + 1
The second stop, a mighty obelisk: N 60° 11. A B B’   E 24° 51. C B
(do not calculate; replace A, B and C with their values)

Now that you're facing the mighty obelisk, you'll notice plaques on it. The number after "d" is q and the number under "T" is z. While here, do look to the opposite direction as well...

  • z > C
  • D = zy – 2B
  • E = 3q + 2C + z
  • F = CB
The cache: N 60° 1 D . E’   E 24° 51. F 1’
(again, just replace)

The cache is a high quality one litre box and will provide luxurious accommodation for small to medium size travelers. Please be stealthy and hide the box as it was...
