Description

Limbourg (Lion’s Castle), now an ancient and picturesque town, once was the capital of the duchy Limburg. It is the cradle of the ancient family of that name from which sprang the Luxemburg family and several emperors of Germany.

The core of the town is on top of a small mountain ridge, 75 m above the Vesdre-Valley, looking down upon Dolhain. The ramparts are still protecting the gothic church of St. George and the houses built with stones from the local quarry around a rectangular marketplace paved with stones polished by the near Vesdre.

To find the best access you should follow the signs “Limbourg ville historique”.

Park your car at N 50° 36,735’ E 005° 56,413’.

Waypoint 1
Do you see the name plate of the local pub Au Cheval Gourmand?
How many legs does this cheval (horse) have? The number of legs = a

Waypoint 2:
Go to N 50° 36,669’ E 005° 56,431’.
When did Poswick receive the Chateau de la porte?
At bc. AOUT defg

Waypoint 3:
Stand still at N 50° 36.(b+c)(g-d)(b)’ E 005° 56.(f)(c)(a)’.
How many wooden window-shutters - to protect the bells – do you see?
Number of shutters (at ONE side of the building!) = hj

Waypoint 4:
Sit down at N 50° 36.(e+d)(a)(d)’ E 005° 56.(b+h)(h)(e-b)’ and calculate the final cache. You will find it at the Cache point

N 50° 36.(e-b)(h+c)(g+h)’ E 005° 56.(b+h)(f-a)(d+a)’.

The cache is a small Tupperware box (12 x 12 x 4) – please don’t bring big trade items.
After having found the cache please rehide it carefully – you are on a marked trail with many pedestrians.

Nice little round in a village of outstanding beauty. Clear and easy-to-find cache, even at twilight without torch. Well done, Captain Cook!

16 April 2005 Team Mauswurf found the geocache

Wie Nanook2908 beschrieb, waren wir mal wieder zusammen unterwegs. Wir hatten uns eine größere Belgien-Tour vorgenommen, aber daraus wurde wegen Regen nichts.
In diesem wunderschönen Ort war kaum was los, was im Sommer bestimmt anders ist.
Danke, daß Lion so schöne Geschenke zum Geburtstag bekommt.
Nichts getauscht

24 August 2003 radioscout found the geocache

A beautiful little village which I surely would have never visited without geocaching. The tasks were easy to solve and the cache location so obvious that I found it without the hint immediately when I arrived at the cache.

Out: Film container lids

20 August 2003 Lion & Aquaria found the geocache

Lion: Freu! der zweite Cache der nur MIR gewidmet is (oder vielmehr meinem 'Burtstag *g*)

War ein schöner Rundgang auf dem Löwenhügel, wobei kleine Menschen ggf. Schwierigkeiten bekommen ein paar Hinweise zu finden

Vielen lieben Dank and Captain Cook und Aquaria für diesen echt schönen dedicated cache

Grüße bis zum nächsten Jahr *hihi*
