Description   

The Cache is situated in the south of Vienna. It´s the recreations-area called "Perchtholdsdorfer Heide". You can reach the cache area by public transport. Take the U4 to ´Hietzing´, and there you take the tram 60. The best starting point is a parking area (for those who come by car) at N 48°07,437 E 016°15,229.

At Stage 1 you can find a squirrel.
N 48°07.334
E 016°14.974
The squirrel will tell you a call number: 0222/ABC DE FG. With the help of the squirrel you can calculate the coordinates for Stage 2.

Stage 2:
N 48°B7.5CF
E 016°1A.GB5
Look out for a letter on a stone. The stone is hidden at the root of a tree. Transform the letter into a number (A=1, B=2,...Z=26). I call the hint H.

Stage 3 (Cache):
N 48°07.380+(20*H)
E 016°15.385-(40*H)
The Cache is hidden under the roots of a tree.

This time we had not a "frozen cache" but a "Frozen Stage 2"! Luckily we got help from two little Junior-Cachers Max and Felix (age 5 and 7) [:)] from team ATZIPZAP - whitch came suddenly along the path beside the sqirrel with explicit "intentions".
It was very difficult to access the "letter on a stone" becouse of winter season.
"atzipzap" had the marvellous idea to digitally image the stone for successful reading the letter!
The cache itself, finally, was found quickly by the Juniors'.

Found 15 January 2005 reini found the geocache

After some computer maintenance at by sisters place (which is very close to the starting point for this cache) I made this walk to retrieve another well-done Vagabond-cache. Great views over Vienna - I like this! Thanks for sending me out for a few kilometers after fiddling around with little screwdrivers on a few millimeters...

Found 03 September 2004 rizzi found the geocache

A very nice walk through the hills with great views! Unfortunately it was a bit hazy today, so I could not see very far.

I found the stages without problems (not always using the best route - then again when is a route better than the other?), the cache is also fine.
Thanks to Vagabund!

Found 19 June 2004 bagsj found the geocache

Mit den ersten Regentropfen des Gewitters haben wir den Cache noch gefunden.

Die Koordinaten waren sehr präzise. Dadurch gab es auch keine Probleme beim Finden der Hinweise und des Caches.

Habe das doch noch schöne Nachmittagswetter genutzt und den Cache gesucht (und auch gefunden ). Die einzelnen Stages waren recht gut zu finden. In der Nähe der "Fundstelle" war ich zu letzten Silvester, wunderbare Aussicht auf Wien (nicht nur den Sueden).
Viele Gruesse

Found 01 November 2003 Gavriel found the geocache

Nach dem Föhrenwald kam ich noch hierher. Das GPS-Signal hatte heute so seine Mucken: erst 50 m gradeaus, dann von einem Moment zum anderen 100 m nach hinten, bei gleichbleibender Genauigkeit.

Out: Rabe
In: Hexe, alte Banknote (von tschechoslowakisch mittels Aufkleber auf slowakisch "umgemünzt")

P.S: Der Stein bei Stage 2 lag ziemlich offen rum, ich hab ihn wieder etwas besser "eingebaut", damit er nicht beim nächsten Sturm wegkullert.

Found Recommended 26 May 2003 gebu found the geocache

Danke für diesen schönen Cache in einer Gegend in der ich vorher noch nie war.
Station 1 war schnell gefunden, Station 2 nach einigen Schweissperlen ebenso. Beim Cache angekommen erwartete mich dann noch eine Überraschung - eine knapp 80 cm lange Äskulapnatter nutzte die warme Erde beim Cache für ein Sonnenbad. Obwohl die Schlange gleich reissaus nahm, gelang es mir dann doch noch sie für ein Photoshooting zu stellen :)
