A Strange Present

This Cache (Birthdaycache for DanTrack) leads along the hiking ways at Buchkogel and it even can be combined with a mountainbike tour. But the cache is also combined with "Plabutsch´s Wounds" by "orotl" (GCMD0K), i hope it´s o.k. for "orotl". You can park at N 47° 02.187  E 015° 23.319 (P3 would be the best) from where you follow a hiking trail to the starting coordinates (Stage 1) - just walk or ride along with your Mountainbike.

Stage 1 - N 47° 02.780  E 015° 22.843:

Here you can see a bench (Gaby, Gerald und Gina). Count the crossbars of sitting ground and backrest, that´s number A.

Stage 2:

At a way fork there´s a marking of hiking way visible, Bb results from this.

Stage 3:

Follow the trail until it crosses a bigger one. You can find a bound and a map of this region. On this map you should find "St. Martin", the altitude complies number C, and "Gedersberg" with the altitude D as well.

A short visit at St. John and Paul, count the windows at the front of the church (without the steeple), that´s the number E. The number of stairs that look similar (excluding the first two and the last) results in F. Go on passing the restaurant and along the hiking way again. - A little bit below the church there are archaeologic diggings and research in process. Maybe we can see more interesting things in future.

At a way cross you can see a board for the "Grazer Bäderlauf", you can find there the last number for the calculation of the coordinates, videlicet G km.

Go to

N 47° 10-B.C-F*(A+E)'  E 015° F+G.D+F+G*(F+G)'

At the next way cross you should take the left way because otherwise the reaching of the cache would be too tangerous.

At a left turn of the way you can see a rock face behind the trees and bushes at the right side. On the left of the rock face there is a little "cave" where the cache box is hidden.

The cache is a red plastic box with a green lid, 15 x 11 x 6 cm - Good Luck!
