Geocache Description:

Count the burial mounds in the forest, make a note of that number and add the password from the cache after that figure (number + word).

There are approximately 1500 known burial mound in this area of Western Hungary and Burgenland, Austria. Some 770 of the mounds originate from the era of the Roman Empire. About 30 of these can be found around the village of Szalafo along the left bank of the creek.
A good starting point for the hike is the village centre. Head toward Felsoszer then take the dirt road all the way to the abandoned quarry. If you can drive this far, you can park here: N 46° 52,7380' E 16° 19,3620' 275 m.
The cache is a short walk from this point.
Have a nice hike.
