How do you find it?
Park your car at: N 50°03.984 E 008°45.885. At a switch-box east of you, you will find the address of the „Fernmeldemeisterei” .
The street address contains two numbers. Only use the last 2 digits. Now add the “to-digits” to the N coordinate and add the “from-digits” from he E coordinate of the following coordinates: : N 50° 03.904 E 008° 45.920 (N 904 + TO; E 920 + FROM)
This will take you into the woods where the cache is hidden under a “dinosaur”.
But be careful, you still may find left over traces by the terrorists or the police.
