Super Teichlandschaft. Die Krottendorfer sind wohl finanziell recht gut aufgestellt (Magna?). Habs jedenfalls sehr genossen, dort rumzuhängen und den Fischen zuzuschauen. Zu Stage 5 eine Anmerkung: Hier geht es um *einstellige* Zahlen (unter Experten auch "Ziffern" genannt [:D]).

Quite a nice place at stage 1 - made some jokes that they must have connections to the mafia or a waste disposal site somewhere. Or both...
After some issues at a certain stage we got a hint by the owner (thanks!). The cache was then quickly found together with sator#, fluchtpunkt and knato.

Gestern haben wir kurz vor dem Ziel abgebrochen, die Wetterbedingungen waren suboptimal (Schneeregen), nach 1 1/2 Std. waren alle komplett durchnässt. Kleidung und Schuhe getrocknet und heute zum Final weiter. Am Ziel angekommen hatte ich mir nicht gedacht den Cache zu finden, erstens hat's so etwa 10cm Schnee und dann war aufgrund einer ungünstigen Sat-Konstellation der Empfang ungünstig, mein altes GPS12 zeigte 15m ungenauigkeit an. Am Zielort war die Abweichung dann Ri. N -2 und Ri. E +15. Gefunden haben wir den Cache nach etwas längerer Wühlerei im Schnee und durch Glück. Entsprechend war die Freude groß...

The warm and sunny weather motivated me to drive to Weiz to visit Juliewood_rabat's new caches there. I started with this cache, but visited the nearby "every cross needs an offset multi" cache in between.
I parked close to Stage 1. Stage 1 was definitely the hightlight of this cache for me. The garden (isn't it rather a park?) is very nice and I have not been there before. Today the area offered as special bonus a crib with Jesus, Maria, Joseph and a donkey. On my way to Stage 2 I took quite some detour as I had taken the wrong route (owners of GPS-devices with a mapping utility will have it much easier to find the right route). The following stages did not pose any problem to me. On my way I passed a company to which I have some quite links from the professional point of view. I have never been there before, however. I was a bit surprised when I realized where the coordinates for the last virtual stage point to and was a bit perplexed and checked the result at the previous stage twice. Everything was correct, however. At the last virtual stage I wondered for a moment to which number the comment "odd number" applies to, but then took the more probable choice which turned out to be correct. Having arrived in the area of the cache hideout, I had to search around for a while - the reception was a bit jumpy and there were many potential hideouts. A good hint might have speeded up my search.

Despite the fact that the route of the cache surprised me a bit and I had come with other expectations, all in all it was a nice walk that helped me to forget for a while the problems of everyday life. The weather was really gorgeous today - it would have been much better suited than yesterda's weather for my bicycle trip to the Kaiserwald area. Thank you for taking the effort and to set up a multi cache, a cache type which unfortunately is more and more neglected by the majority of the cachers. The cache is well suited for a walk in Winter time when the destinations higher up are not that easily reachable. It would also be very well suited to be visited by bicycle. The cache also reminded me of my plan to at least follow parts of the R11 bicycle path sometime in the future.

Zusammen mit ptom und Pr3ach3rman ein netter Winterspaziergang. Durch den Schee (und vor allem das Eis) hatte es einen besonderen Flair. Teilweise war recht viel Verkehr, aber das war gar kein Problem. Fragen waren klar zu beantworten. Mit dem Auto würde ich es nicht empfehlen, da gibts doch einige "Fallen" [;)] tftc
