Karstheide

This valley wasn't always as peaceful as it is now. A long time ago a vicious gnome terrorized the citizens of Baden: He made rocks fall down from his mountain, he caused floods and spoilt harvests, always mocking at the moaning people. But some day a clever man used a trick (a cave and spiders were involved into this plan) and got rid of the gnome. The place where the gnome made the rocks fall down can still be seen today at the "Karstheide".

The shortest access is from the west, where the road to Rosental leaves the road through the Helental. If you come from this direction you will although see the highest waterfall from Baden [;)]. Those who want to do a longer hike can combine this cache withseveral others in the area (please check the various sites).

The cache is in the middle part of the rocky area (still below the upper rock-wall). Hiking shoes are recommended. On top of the plateau you can find a nice Karst landscape (access is easy if you walk round the cliff either to the left or the right). A bit west of the giant tree that can be seen from the cache there is a small cave (not the one from the story and only for very small and thin people).

GPS-reception is rather poor there. The cache is a plastic-bottle and can be found in the left part of a dolmen-like structure (mind your head) under leaves and a stone.
