In this cache hunt you will visit a castle consisting of caves built into yellow-red-colored conglomerate. This castle was the residence of Bernhardt Rotnstain and was built by the patriarchy of Aquilea. It was first mentioned in 1135 and was disponed to the archbishopric of Salzburg in the 13th century. The castle consisted of several structural levels and had a facade in the front. You can reach the castle on a little hiking track which starts in the north-west of the church. One of the best places for parking is N46°34.039' E14°24.950' just beside the church. After about 20 minutes you will reach the castle and you will find a lot of awesome details. Because of bad GPS receipt a short description of the exact cache location is given: you will find the cache by climbing up a 7 meter high ladder to the "first floor". After some steps you will reach the second floor and will find the cache at the hindmost corner. You have to be free from giddiness and be careful because of loose conglomerate stones! The cache itself initially consists of a yo-yo with battery powered lights, a set of 12 dices, a capsule with little pearls, a wooden necklace and bracelet and a necklace made of Hematite.
