Heringsdorf-Neuhof (UBB)

[Virtual Cache] Look for the Letters: a tourist cache

There’s a railway on The Sunny Island (Insel Usedom in German, wyspa Uznam in Polish) — the “Usedomer Bäderbahn” (bath train), calling at all stops. In some places, even a German company is surprisingly managing to render special characters, such as the ś in the Polish name of Swinemünde, correctly ☺

In case you wonder, Wikimedia Commons has a pronunciation reference for Świnoujście.

The main route has what is possibly the most sandy stop on Usedom/Uznam: Heringsdorf-Neuhof
This called (no pun intended), according to eyeinthesky, for another Virtual Cache of mine.

If you’re approaching this cache by train, you can exit here (usage with trolleys at your own risk… when reaching the “road” the reason will, we believe, require no further elaboration):

In any case, be careful and watch your accompaniment! You must keep off the railway tracks!

Look around carefully and look for a grey box, and on it, for a small badge stating “Heringsdorf”, and five capital letters in the form: ABC DE

Now wander around a bit, towards the south-east. There are a few signs; one of them has the classical German verboten (“forbidden”). What exactly is forbidden? Take the entire first line of that sign, and note it down as X for later.

What would a log password be without numbers? Look towards the left (north-east) and inspect the possibly “best” paved and maintained (hah!) ☻ train station access road of the island. (It showed up as a road on OpenStreetMap, but we were kinda surprised, comparing it with similarily tagged roads in Germany west of the Rhine.) There’s another large… thing, which fits a certain amount of litres (“Y Liter”). Note that number down as Y.

To get the log password, concatenate in this order, without any extra characters in between: XABCDEY (If you don’t understand this or don’t have any luck after a couple of attempts, please contact me via my OC profile and message me with what you have, and I’ll help you putting it together.)

You can log this cache at GE032C, OC14C19 and OP8WC9.

Good luck, and have a nice vacation!
