Die Ruine ist gar nicht so leicht zu finden, da keine Stra�e dorthin f�hrt. Um den kleinen Weg zu finden muss man schon ein wenig suchen. Noch dazu hatte ich keinen Ausdruck dabei, so musste ich mich ganz auf die Intuition verlassen.
Ist dann aber doch gegangen und ich habe �ber dieses idyllische Fleckchen gestaunt. Den Cache habe ich zuerst ein paar Meter zu weit unten gesucht, H�ndin Auka fand dann aber bald das richtige Versteck (hat ein N�schen f�r sowas...).
j_blue war auch dabei

in: Kerze (blau) - nach mehreren fehlgeschlagenen Wurfversuchen von unten nach oben, weil j_blue nicht raufkommen wollte hats dann doch geklappt
out: Jeton - endlich wieder ein Anreiz ins Casino zu gehen..

I preferred to take the route via Baernbach, Kainbach etc for two reasons. First, I do not appreciate too much scenic drives with my car and second, I combined the cache tour with a visit to a furniture store. I needed two attempts to find the right street which leads to Kainbach and further to Galmannsegg. Once I had found this street, everything else was easy.

There were some black clouds at the sky when I left the car, but and still when I reached the ruin, but fortunately it did not start to rain. On the contrary, the weather became sunny again when I was back at the car.

The path leading to the ruin was easy to find. I did not meet a single person on my way up. I have never been in this area before. I enjoyed the calmness.

In the target area I had to search for a while. The GPS reception was not that good and I first searched in more difficult (Edorian typical) terrain than necessary. (The moss and the stones were somewhat slippery.) The cache is in good condition and is waiting for further visitors.

Why are so few cachers visiting this cache? It is easy, does not contain any puzzles, offers a nice and short walk and is also suitable for families with children (be a bit careful with small children near to the ruin).

Thanks for the cache and for bringing me to yet another place where I have not been before.

No trade
