This multicache can either be started at Eisenstadt or from direction of Sonnenberg, so it can be combined with Door to Summer II - Sonnenberg. Stage 1 is recommended as starting point in Eisenstadt (also parking lots available), when coming from Sonnenberg the reverse order (begin stage 6, end stage 1) is advised.
Stage 1 Gloriette
N 47° 51.177
E 16° 30.543
High above the city thrones this impressive building. During fair weather you can surely see the Neusiedler See. Watch the windows and the door of the lowest floor.
Additional info : because the windows are sometimes hidden by sunshades: there are two windows.
The sum of all glass segments of circles from door and windows results in A.
With the duration of the construction (2nd date minus 1st date) under Prince Nicolaus II of Esterhazy you get B.
Additional info: for incomprehensible reasons the info-plate is removed. As alternative take the amount of round pillars divided by 2 as B.
Stage 2 Skywards / Dem Himmel entgegen
N 47° 51.249
E 16° 30.310
You are on sanctified floor. Or should I say "floors"? The new observation tower is already erected and open to the public, better questions are still under construction.
A gigantic observation tower could be found here, it seems it has really gone skywards, leaving only four concrete quadrates.
So just use 6 as value for C and 56 as value for D.
Very nearby reside the remains made-of-stone of a structure, and a bench rests upon them. How many steps can you see ? The number of steps is E.
Stage 3 Spiritual again / Und wieder spirituell
N 47° 51.712
E 16° 29.872
At the base of the artefact a letter and a bad readable number are engraved in stone. Convert the letter into a number (A=1, B=2,...) and you get F.
Stage 4 Old Stone / Alter Stein
N 47° 52.088
E 16° 29.791
This item stands here for a very long time, Paul and Adam are named here.
In the date of a year an arabic digit is present twice, take one of the twins as G.
Stage 5 Hunting Season / Jagdzeit
N 47° 52.200
E 16° 30.057
Many years ago a tavern called "Zum Schoenen Jaeger" (To The Beautiful Hunter) has been located here. Almost nothing of it is visible nowadays, only a stonewalled cellar is remaining. At the turnoff to the meadow you find some very big identical-looking stones, much bigger than boundary stones. The number of stones is H.
Stage 6 Not Catholic / Nicht katholisch
N 47° 52.142
E 16° 29.025
A monumental hollow tree can be found here. Within a distance of 30 metres many signposts can be found here (all from the 'Österreichischen Touristenklub' or a 'Sektion' of them). As the signposts seem to disappear since August 2010, take the fixed value J=8.
In the east of the tree you find a three-sided prism made of stone, a letter on each side, a date of year on top. Convert the letters into numbers (A=1, B=2,...), add the numbers to the date of year, this results in K.
The monumental tree has tumbled down and the three-sided prism has also been destroyed, in the meantime please use 2027 as K.
Stage 7 Closing in / Nahe dem Ziel
N 47° N7'...N7 = 49.623 + ((B*D + F + K) / 1000)
E 16° E7'...E7 = 28.726 + ((A*C*E + G*H*J) / 1000)
Here you have to obey an order, so no forest fire arises. The digit written in this order is L.
Search the cache at
N 47° N8'...N8 = N7 + ((A+G+L) * L / 1000)
E 16° E8'...E8 = E7 + (((B+E+J) * L - 6 ) / 1000)

found the geocache
Im Dutzend ein Dutzend Caches besucht. Der Multi Close to Summer gab den Rahmen, die Tradis unterwegs gaben noch mehr Motivation. Der Multi hatte sehr schöne und eindeutige Stationen, und führte mich in ein mir bisher ungbekanntes Gebiet. Im Team war es besonders lustig, und freuten uns sehr, dass wir es geschafft haben. Bei der letzten Station leitete uns das Feuer in der rasch einbrechenden Dunkelheit den Weg - da wussten wir, dass wir richtig gerechnet haben. DFDC.

es war eine herrliche wanderung bei herrlichem wetter - birdspiders hat es schon geschrieben stage 7 ist 40m off und man darf dann nicht mit den errechneten koords weitermachen, dann landet man im gemüse - wegpunkt von stage 7 nehmen - rechnen und dann umgebung absuchen, so wird man fündig ....

Einer meiner leichtesten Multis war das heute. Guenti, Temu_Dshin, Firlefanz1, Luxusweibchen und Birdspiders als unsere Begleiter waren sichtlich geschafft bei dieser Tour. Ich mußte sie andauerd ermuttern weiter zu machen. Meinem gestählten Körper machte das nichts aus und streckenweise bin ich mit meiner lieben Freundin sogar gelaufen.
Zum Cache selbst, schließe ich mich dem Logeintrag von Birdspiders voll und ganz an.

Unterwegs mit unserern Kindern und Nichten. Ein wunderschöner Rundkurs. Wir haben knappe 3 Stunden gebraucht. Wir haben uns beim letzten Stage (7) 3 mal verrechnet (ja ja die Rechenregeln) und daher ca. 25 Minuten liegen gelassen. Schlüssendlich Cache souverän gefunden. Kinder waren begeistert. Dieser Multi ist ideal für einen kleinen Nachmittagsausflug mit anschließender "Konsumation" in der Gloriette. Wird viel zu selten genützt, wie gesagt wunderschön. OUT: Golfball, Ei, Clownmaske, Schlumpf (4 Kinder mit dabei) TFTC und liebe Grüsse
IN: Pfeife, Feuerzeug, Schikartenhalter, Wäscheklammer

Auch hier ein Deja Vu. Letztes mal noch bei Dunkelheit lange gesucht diesmal vergleichsweise schnell in wunderschoener Abendstimmung gefunden. Vor der schlecht lesbaren Zahl bei Stage 3 klebt jetzt eine Laterne aber der Buchstabe ist klar zu erkennen.
Thanx, Heinz

Found No. 1/7 of today's hike from Eisenstadt to Hornstein. Today
we finalized the round trip we started last week. Even with an offset
of appr. 30m (probably a calculation error) we didn't search long to
find the box. Thnx! OUT: coin, marble
IN: egg-stamp, blinking clown-nose

Coming from "Seaview" we did the stages in the reverse order. Arriving at stage 1 it was already too late to go for stage 7 with the junior members of the team, but we will come back to finalize the tour asap.
Thnx for the occasion to visit Stage 1 to 6 and the places between them.

The first hike of the new year in order to find a cache.
Due to the given exact coordinates everything went (almost too) smoothly until we arrived at st. 6, where certain circumstances accumulated to a desastrous situation which is no so untypical in geocaching:
Upcoming darkness, upcoming rain/snowfall,temperature sunk near to zero, a giant formula was to calculate with frozen fingers on a dissolving printout using a ballpen which went on strike from moisture and frostiness......
And a unbelievable result which wanted to send us far away to an incredible place .
After 45min and some checks and rechecks we gave up and decided to search the next stage trusting our instinct.
Lucky we were to find a matching place after a walk through the dark forrest, but due to the giant formula it was not possible to recheck our result, using the measured coordinates.
So we used a telephone joker to figure out our mistake - a wrong value for A the first question at the first stage and a last monstercalculation leaded us to the cache,which was found in best condition.
In: manicure set
Out: sunflower-sticker, TB Tour of europe.
Thx for the nice (and not easy to find) cache, M&W
