Geocache Description:

ATTENTION: THIS IS A HIGH MUGGLE AREA!!

A 4 Stage Multi-Cache on a well used public pathway.

It is approximately 2 km walk total.

Take a stroll down a public footpath that runs between Otterberg and Otterbach. Along the way, if you are lucky, you may see some of the above enclosed wildlife. Bring the kids, the bikes, strollers and the dogs (on leads, please) – the path is well suited for all.

Start: Pathway starts at the above coordinates.

You will need this decoder to obtain the required coordinates:

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z
4	5	9	8	6	1	2	5	6	4	3	3	0	7	4	8	9	5	2	1	8	7	2	9	7	6

Stage 1: N 49° 29.688 , E 007° 46.008

At this coordinate, face NW – here you will see a 10 letter word starting with the letter F. Using this word, obtain the corresponding letter and decode using the above chart.

Example: If the 7th letter is Q, the decode number is 9, therefore ? = 9

? = 7th letter
! = 8th letter
@ = 9th letter
# = 10th letter

Replace the appropriate symbol with the decoded number to move to Stage 2.

Stage 2: N 49° 29. ? ! @ , E 007° 45. # ! #

Here you will find another sign:

$= 1st Letter, 3rd Word
% = 2nd Letter, 3rd Word

Stage 3: N 49° 29. $ ? % , E 007° 45. @ $ %

Here you will find a sign with a picture of a deer on it. Directly under the picture are some letters.

& = 4th Letter
^ = 6th Letter

Stage 4: N 49° 29. & # & , E 007° 45. ^ $ !

Here you will find a monument – which has a small metal plate below it with some letters (the first letter is a bit hard to see but it is a “R”):

* = 2nd Letter
+ = 3rd Letter
< = 4th Letter

The Cache: N 49° 29. * < % , E 007° 45. + * +

Please take care, as there are many muggles using this path.
