Es lebe der Zentralfriedhof

The whole area is handicap free and can be done with trolleys (except the last metres to the hiding place). Stage 1 and 2 can only be done during opening times (look at http://www.wien.gv.at/kultur/friedhoefe/offen.html - only in german).

Introduction:

The cache can be reached by public transportation (Tramway 6 or 71 - station "Zentralfriedhof 2. Tor"). At the given coordinates you will be in front of the Karl Borromäus Church (also known as "Luegerkirche").

We recommend not only searching for the cache, but also visiting the church and have a walk trough the graveyard. Beside the numerous memorial honor graves and the Stages you can find a lot of other interesting places here, especially in autumn.
