The foundation of the cathedral dates back to 12. century.In the 11. century a nunnery was founded by St. Hemma. Out of this nunnery the cathedral, the roman crypta (build 1174) and the diocese arose. You will find more information at www.dom-zu-gurk.at or wikipedia.
I wasn't able to find out the opening hours of the cathedral, therefore you don't have to enter the church to solve the riddle. I highly recommend to visit the church, especially the crypta. You will find all the informations outside the church or in the near surrounding.
Look for the following informations:
- in front of the cathedral, at the given coordinates, you will find a column (Mariensäule). Find the year this column
was build by the parish (Pfarrgemeinde). Let the crossfoot of this number be "A".
left of the cathedral you will find a building with two old sundials. Look for the dates and calculate the
difference. Let this value be "B"
on the right side and in front of the cathedral you will find the cemetery. Go across this cemetery to the
back side of the cathedral. Here you will find a plate . This plate indicates the place where the nunnery
was founded back in 1042. Above the inscription, still on the plate, you will see a number of rings, respectively
circles. Count these rings/cirlces and let the number be "C"
close to the plate you will find an adjoining building with a dedicated function. What is the name of this
building? You will find the name on a small sign-board. Please take the german name. Count the letters of the
name of the building and let the number be "D"
The cache:
Intentionally the cache isn't hidden on the area of the cathedral. The hiding place isn't far away. You will have a beautiful sight to the cathedral and into the valley. You can go there by foot, it will take you 5-10 minutes, or go by vehicel (car, motorcycle, etc.). The route is adequate for strollers and wheelchairs, except for the last 3-5 meters.
The final coordinates:
N1 = N0 - B - (C * D)
E1 = E0 + A
The cache container is a small plastic box.
Please don't remove the pencil, the sharpener and the logbook.
Have fun and a nice trip to the valley of Gurk.

found the geocache
Diesen Multi haben Efeuherz1209, Phanthalos und ich ja schon an unserem ersten Tag hier im Gurk absolviert 😁
Den Spaziergang hoben wir uns für heute auf.
Am Finale dürfte kräftig gewerkt worden sein und wir fanden die Dose offen am Boden liegend und der Deckel ist beschädigt 😱
Wir haben sie sicherheitshalber etwa 10m weiter links in einer kleinen Höhle untergebracht.
Ich hoffe, das ist ok.
Danke für's Legen und Pflegen!
TFTC
PS: Hier gibt's einen Favi dazu 👍🏻

Auf dem heutigen Programm stand ein Ausflug ins Gurktal und dessen Umgebung bei richtig heißem Wetter. Dort entdeckten Pimi1 und ich bei der Tagesplanung viele GC Caches unterschiedlichen Typs auf der Cache-Landkarte, die wir uns unbedingt ansehen und natürlich auch signieren wollten...
Anmerkung zum Cache: Ein Rundgang im Stiftsgelände brachte die Variablenwerte zum Vorschein; am GZ konnte die Dose anhand des Hinweises schnell gefunden werden. Der Doseninhalt war komplett nass, aber ein Petling in der Dose beinhaltete einen trockenen Logstreifen fürs Logging...
TFTC an peter61 für Idee, Realisierung und Wartung dieses Caches!
