If you ever wanted to know where all (or at least some) of the water of the Mur river that you see in many of the Graz area caches comes from this is the right cache.
This cache is placed close to the source of the river Mur. To go to the cache by car you should take the road to Muhr from St.Michael im Lungau. If you are going there from the Graz area you might want to go via Bruck - Leoben - Judenburg - Murau, because that way you will be following the Mur river to its source. If you go there on the highways you might be faster, but you will have to pay to use the Katschbergtunnel. (You can leave the highway before the Katschbergtunnel and go over the Katschberg on the ordinary road which I think is free.) You can leave your car at the parking lot near the Arsenhütte. (N47°06.737' E013°25.648'). There is also a parking lot a little bit closer to the cache (47°08.009' E013°24.153') but when I hid the cache the road there was still closed for winter. (And there were a lot of trees lying on the road) There is a bus stop next to the Arsenhütte (Rotgülden - Aufstieg Rotgüldensee - Arsenhaus) so you could also come by bus from Tamsweg. But on the webpage of bus company (http://www.postbus.at/fahrplan/index.html ) I did not find any buses going there. Maybe they only go there in summer. At http://www.taelerbus.at/fahrplan/3304a.htm I just saw that there even is a bus going to the Sticklerhütte. (Or at least it did go in the year 2002, from july 7th until September 8th) If you really want to go there by bus you should look for some up to date time tables. There are several signposts showing the way to the Murursprung, so getting there should not be hard. In the beginning the way leads along the road, but from the Sticklerhütte on it leads through a beautiful mountain pasture. The terrain is easier than the rated 3.5 most of the time, the only hard thing is getting to the cache because you have to go through the water and/or over the snow to get there. I'm sure it will get easier in the next weeks when the snow has melted and there will probably be less water in the river. The cache is hidden on a small island a few meters downstream from the source. From the Arsenhütte the walk is about 10km in one direction, from the second parking lot it should be about 7km. There are also some other places that look like good starting points if you are coming from another direction. From the end of the Großarlbach valley, south from St, Johann im Pongau there is a path that leads to the source of the mur. (With much more elevation gain than from the Arsenhütte side) Or you could go there from the Kölnbreinspeicher at the end of the Maltavalley. But I have only tried and rated the way from the Arsenhütte. I forgot to bring a cachenote. Can the first visitor please bring one?
