Sylter 🐥Hühnergott🐥 - Westerland

In this mystery cache the task is the following for a successful log:

• Find a real "chicken god" at the mystery coordinates within a radius of about 500m (details see below). We have not chosen a virtual cache (VC) as cache type but a mystery cache without container (can/container), because we want you to search within the radius of the mystery coordinates.
• Take a picture with your chicken god and the place where it was found, where the chicken god can be recognized as such and where it is clearly shown that you were on site in Sylt. This photo must be attached to the log. See example photos.
• In the log you should also include the coordinates of the find location in WGS84 format, so that the following cachers will find it easier to find a chicken god themselves.

Logs without a photo will be deleted. Stones without a hole or e.g. shells with a hole do not qualify for a log release! We have published several chicken gods caches on Sylt, for each cache you need one chicken god found there with a corresponding location proof photo. We have made the best finding experiences in the morning with the beginning flood. We gave a slightly higher D-rating, because it is not so easy to find an appropriate "chicken god" at first go.

What is a chicken god? The chicken god (adder stone/witch stone) is called in the vernacular a stone with a natural hole.  Such stones are often flint stones with chalk deposits that are weathered. On Sylt you will often find flints in different colours on the beach. The most dominant colour is black. There are also more rarely grey and brown tones, see picture. The "real" chicken god has a pinhead-sized hole up to several centimetres in diameter, often the remains of a once embedded fossil sea lily stalk. In Germany, chicken gods can be found on the Baltic and North Sea coasts and are a popular souvenir for tourists as a lucky charm.
