Rauris #1: Goldspuren / gold traces

The first cache in my homelands Rauris leads along the traces of gold and up to the "Hoher Sonnblick" (3.106 m), the most famous moutain of Rauris. (more about the history of gold mining in Raurisertal)

The main coordinates lead directly to the top of the Hoher Sonnblick. There is a parking area calles "Lenzanger" at N 47° 04.900 / E 012° 59.100, from where you can go to Kolm-Saigurn by feet. There is also the possibility to go there directly with the postbus. (For the street from guesthouse "Bodenaus" to the "Lenzanger" you have to pay a toll, the toll is cheaper when you go by bus.)

You need about 3 to 5 hours from Kolm-Saigurn to the Hoher Sonnblick, so you´ll need a whole day for this cache, or maybe two if you´ll do it with an overnight stay.

You can find other routes with more moutains and a great view to the world of mountains of Rauris by clicking here.

A marked way leads from "Naturfreundehaus Kolm-Saigurn" to the "Neubau" (shelter), where you can find the  "Tauerngold-Rundwanderweg" and a few ruines from the gold mining times to learn more about the history and the geology. The next hat is the "Rojacher-Hütte" and finally you reach the top of the "Hoher Sonnblick" (N 47° 03,238 / E 012° 57,455), where you can find the shelter "Zittelhaus" (possability for overnight stay, the sunrises are really recommandable) and the Sonnblick-Observatorium, the highest weather measuring station of Europe.

At stage 1 you can find a few boards about the weather men in the vestibule of the "Zittelhaus", the board of  Mathias Mayacher was mounted in September ?, the digit sum of the year is A. On the board of Albert Obermayer the difference of the two years in the first line is the number B. (positive number)

Either at the next morning after a great sunrise or on the same day you have to go back down to Kolm Saigurn, where you will find the cache. At the coordinates of stage 2 you will find a board about the shelter "Neubau". There you can find one number twice on this board, this is the number C, and in the last line on the right side there is an altitude of another mountain, the digit sum of this altitude is the number D.

For calculating the cache coordinates:
N 47° 04,0C
E 012° 59,(2*(A+B+D))

The cache, a green plastic box, is at the caculated coordinates on the right side of the prominent symbol. Would you please bring a biro with you, I think I´ve forgotten to put into the box...

Original content of the box:
- leather purse with legendary Rauris-Logo ("I mog Rauris")
- small piggybank
