Buslinie 19, Haltestelle Mundenhof

Information about the Mundenhof and the Zelt-Music-Festival held here each summer.

We'll start at the wind wheel. If there's enough wind it should pump up some water, at least there's a basin.
How many fishes and how many flowers will be watered by it?

A = Number of fishes =
B = Number of flowers =

Only known by few, the Mundenhof zoo even owns some geckos of a very special kind: the "gecko rubeo" (red gecko).
It would be great to have the phone number of someone so special, wouldn't it? But geckos are fast and have been seen in several places. Perhaps you'll find one somewhere on your way?

C = Cross sum of the phone number without the local area code =

Hint: the local area code of Freiburg is 0761.

Now we're heading for Japan. Find the red house in the middle of the green sea.
How many columns support the ceiling?

D = Number of columns =

Let's go to the stone swing. Unfortunately it's tied down, perhaps that's why they call it a pendulum ("Steinpendel").
On how many logs does it rest?

E = Number of logs =

Troy isn't far. If you've already found my Gemurmelcache you'll know what has been hidden underneath
Who may have created this masterpeace?

F = Number of letters of the very last word =

My back is aching from this neverending hike. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone giving you a massage right now? Perhaps we'll find a Tussi (German for "broad") to give us a rub if we're looking close to the second wind wheel? If you've found her, be nice! Otherwise she'll give you a taste of her horns!

G = Maximum length ("Länge") of her horns ("Horn") in decimeters =

Now we'll see whether the caches deserves its name "the lazy meerkat"! I really like the meerkats especially when they're lying on their back and tanning under the infrared. It's just like on holidays for them all year!
I wonder how they look like when they see the light of day? ("E. werden [word1] [word2] [word3] geboren.")

H = (Number of letters of word1) * (Number of letters of word3) =

We've almost accomplished the tasks und feeding time is near, but first we'll have to feed the donation monkey ("Spendenaffe")!
Maybe we can find out what year he's born?

J = Year of birth of the monkey (last 2 digits) =

(If it's to hard to read you can add up all letters on the plate (only 2. + 4. + 5. line))

Now we're ready for picnic oder french-fries!
Don't wait for dad, he has to do some math now

KL = D - G - B =               M = A + E =               NP = J + A + A - F =               QR = H + G + F =               S = F - E =               TU = C + H - D + A =                 N 48°   KL   .   MNP'     E 007°   QR   .   STU'     N 48°     E 007°

Ready for the last challenge? Let's head for the final! Who would have expected such a crossing would be possible?
Who's brave and balanced enough to make it there?
Look out for almost the only place around here which can hold a big box.
Please watch out for muggles as you can be seen from the road. Perhaps you'll fetch the box and do your logging and trading on the bench.

Only kids are allowed to trade! Please try to keep up the goodies standard so many others more can enjoy this cache, too!

I hope you had fun in the zoo and on the hunt!
Yours Nybbler
