Description    Deutsch  ·  English

At this place, behind dense vegetation, an exclusive estate is located. It was the residence of the well-known Manfred Schmider (“Big Manni”) until he was arrested in 2000. With his enterprise FlowTex he had cheated banks and leasing-companies for about 3 billion Euros by selling non-existing machines to them (Sale-Lease-Back). This was the highest amount of fraud in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The size of the estate is about 60.000 square metres. There are several buildings, an indoor swimming pool, a tennis court and a helicopter base. Schmider threw glittering parties for his prominent guests from politics an economy.
Besides this cache I recommend to everybody to climb up the tower on the mountain’s top. It offers you an amazing view on the city of Karlsruhe and its surroundings.

In times of piled snow on the ground very hard to find.

Diese gut getarnte Dose war nicht tief genug in ihre Stellung gegangen, so dass sie schnell gefunden war.

Vielen Dank für den Hinweis, Riedxela. Das Spoilerbild von Wernerwersonst stimmt tatsächlich nicht mehr.  Das war die ursprüngliche Version des Caches bevor er gemuggelt wurde.

Nach etwas Suche war der gut getarnte Cache entdeckt und geloggt. Nur das Spoilerbild kann wohl nicht mehr stimmen.
Dem Cache geht es gut, alles i.O.

Vielen Dank für's auslegen und verstecken sagt Riedxela.

Vielen Dank für den DNF Lileluna. Es lag auf jeden Fall am Schnee. Ich werde das ins Listing aufnehmen. Tut mir leid. Da kommt einmal in zwei Jahren jemand vorbei und ausgerechnet dann liegt Schnee Brüllend
