Geocache Description:


// Addendum 28,08.2021: The original webcam was moved and can now be found on the top of the mountain. This was a measure to increase fitness of us Geocachers. So today the Cache coordinates were also moved. Task still the same, make yourself visible at the given coordinates. But be careful, you are on top of a mountain. And if you do not want to bike or hike up, check the opening hours of the cablecar ;-)
// End addendum

// Addendum 23.02.2020: Found the webcam link again! The links below are updated now. Please upload original webcam fotos with yourself in front of the webcam again. Should not be that difficult, as one of the links even contains a history :-)
// End addendum

// Addendum 15.01.2020: It seems that the webcam will stay out-of-service. How long is unknown. Please continue logging with your own fotos in front of the station ,-)
// End addendum
//Addendum 11.04.2019:
The webcam is disabled since 10.04.2019 due to construction work. I hope it will be enabled again in autumn.
// End addendum
// Addendum 07.11.2016: The homepage has changed again. Thus edited the links. Funny thing: 11 years after installing the cache with the name "Bergfex", the images can now be downloaded on a webpage named "bergfex.at". I do not have any relationship to this page.... mind-boggling accident....
// End Addendum
// Addendum 20.11.2015: Now the cache has it's 10th anniversary. Unbelievable. Back in 2005 when the cache was placed, it was the only one in the whole valley and around. Today there are 76 (!) caches within a distance of less than 5 km, the cache has 1423 log-entries, and the webcam is still there!! Just the homepage was reworked several times, so the position of the image is now dynamic within the page. But it still can be found ;-) // End Addendum
// Addendum 21.06.2011: When we "placed" this cache back in September 2005 as the first cache in the whole "Glemmtal" valley, (when no-one had a smart-phone and it was really hard work to retrieve a webcam picture of yourself ...good-old-times...) I would never have expected that there will be a Geocaching Mega-Event here one day...
// End Addendum
// Addendum to Addendum 01.07.2011 Actually 254 logs were added within 2 days during the Mega-Event. Great Fun :-)
// End Addendum to Addendum

============
This is the first cache in the area of Saalbach/Hinterglemm and the first in a series of caches that will point you to some of the most interesting places around here. This one is really easy as I am eager to see how many geochachers visit this place at all.
CHALLENGE: As usual for webcam-caches your log should include a picture of yourself in front of the cam. Make yourself visible (always a good move in life ;-). Also note the name of the mountain you are standing on, because its name contains the first number that you will need for the other caches in the 'BergFex' series. A: Number of letters in the name of the mountain behind you (Austrian way of writing it with ‘Umlaut’), which is equal to the number included in the name of the mountain.
