The geocache is not hidden at the given coordinates. Solve the following puzzle to determine the coordinates of the geocache.
This word puzzle has nothing to do with German; so I have altered the title to use an English spelling. This winter has been pretty dry (as of December 19th when the cache was actually placed), but that also has nothing to do with this puzzle. Probably a lot is being left out of this puzzle (instructions, clues, attribution), but I'm sure many of you will figure it all out. If not, I'll try to clarify on the fifteenth. Happy New Year!

Special Notes about the 2026 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which will probably happen sometime in March 2027). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep coming up with puzzles every month! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's puzzle: Had to hide this one earlier than usual because I was going out of town for the holiday break. Hope it survives okay.
