Description Deutsch · English

The Erft is only a 107 km long tributary of the Rhine. She arises in the Eifel and flows on her way by regional wonderful areas. It is really worthwhile "to master" the course of the source up to the mouth by bicycle, particularly as the cycle track is developed continuously and well. One can go with the wheel by rail well till the nearness of the source … ….und then it goes only downhill all the time. At many places the Erft flows majestically slowly, but there are also some rapids which are liked just with kayak driving to the training very much. Meanwhile the fish continuance is rather considerable in the Erft again, so that the river is frequented more and more by anglers. The fact that already the „Old Romans“ camped down at the Erft, is known surely and can invite in that or other place to historical considerations .

A = Where is the source of the Erft? – Number of the letters of the first word of the "double-name" villlage

B = Which height does the mountain have located in source nearness? – 2-nd and 3-rd figure

C = Which singer owns a cafe in Bad Münstereifel? – Sum of the values of the letters in the alphabet

D = Which highway becomes undercrossed from the Erft near Grevenbroich? – Across sum of the figures

E = How is the "Südbrücke" between Neuss and Dusseldorf called correct? – Word number

F = How is the district of Neuss called where the Erft flows into the Rhine ? – Value of the fifth letter in the alphabet?

G = How long is the Erft-cycle track of the spring up to the mouth? – km divided by 5

Calculation of the minutes:

N 51 Grad (C-A) : E . B*G – (A+B+C+D+E+F+G+D)

E 006 Grad B-D + E:2 . C*G – F*G – (F-A)

22 December 2021 Nordlandkai found the geocache

Heute habe ich mir mal das "Ende" der Erft angeschaut. Kaum zu glauben das so ein kleiner Bach den Eifelbereich verwüsten kann!
Vorab hatte ich natürlich das Rätsel gelöst und mich als Ortsfremder mit der Frage D ordentlich verhauen. Ich wusste halt nicht, dass das nicht mehr ganz aktuell ist. Aber egal, es ging auch so.
Die Dose war schnell gefunden, so das ich mit meinem Programm weiter machen konnte.
Vielen Dank für den Cache und das Rätsel.

Not all of the numbers of this puzzle were quick to find, so I was forced to turn to the geochecker for a little help. Outdoors, the cache was spotted after a few seconds, but neither it nor the LB could be retrieved.

18 July 2019 drei_kloetze found the geocache

Dieses Rätsel war schon länger gelöst, nur schlummerten die Koordinaten dann wie so oft lange auf dem GPS. Einige male bin ich hier schon vorbei gekommen, nur war mir der Bewuchs mit kurzen Hosen zu pieksig.
Heute schien es zu gehen, und ich kam mit minimalem Kontakt an die Dose. Der Deckel ging problemlos ab und ich konnte mich ins jungfräuliche Logbuch eintragen.

Das Rätsel war gut zu lösen und heute auf einer kleinen Radtour dann auch geloggt.
