Geocache Description:

The cache is located in the forest 60 meters from the hiking trail (volcano route GR131) to log in peace.
Der Cache liegt im Wald 60 Meter vom Wanderweg (Vulkanroute GR131) entfernt und 20 Höhenmeter, um hier in Ruhe loggen zu können.

Der Ort ist nicht gefährlich aber es gibt ein paar Felsen in der Nähe.
Bitte nicht in den Felsen herumklettern - Steinschlaggefahr!
Die Koordinaten sind sorgfältig bestimmt. Du findest den Cache unmittelbar neben einer Pinie, die schon mehrere Waldbrände überlebt hat (siehe Hint und Spoiler).
Viel Spaß beim Suchen.

The location is not dangerous but there are some rocks near by.
Please do not climb the rocks. Rockfall could hurt people below.
The coordinates are well taken. You'll find the cache very close to a pine tree that has survived several forest fires (see hint and spoiler).

Old Cachebox was lost by fire in August 2009. I brought the new Box to the same place in March 2010

You can reach it after a walk of some hundred meters from a parking place or, for example, in combination with the Cache "La Palma's First" (Volcano Tour, starting at "Refugio de El Pilar"). Some other nice trails around are possible.

To reach the parking place leave the mainroad LP 1 at N 28º 30.560 / W 017º 49.545 and follow the forest track for about 6 km. This forest track usually is in good condition to go by car, like the Palmeros do when going for a picknick near the parking place.

(Über dieselbe deutschsprachische Seite buche ich auch immer meinen Mietwagen eines lokalen, unproblematischen Anbieters, der nicht rumjammert, wenn man mal eine Piste langfährt.)

Small note on cache maintenance: I visit La Palma and the other Canary Island several times a year and have Spanish friends living there. My friends are not geocacher but know about it. I will take care for the cache and manage that my friends look for it, if there is a problem in a time of my absence.
Thanks to Kangoo who also takes care of the cache very well.
