In den Baeumen sind nicht nur in den Wurzelbereichen schöne Verstecke zu finden.

Since the weather was unexpectedly nice and warm today, Alice and myself decided to go for this cache. We parked close to the suggested parking coordinates. I had brought white-black photographs of the stages, but did not number them which was not a good idea in retrospect and which made our search more difficult at some stages. I particularly liked the first part of the tour which lead us through the forest on the side south of the main street.

Some stages were found quickly, at some we had to search longer. Although this cache offers already a long walk, we made some detours in order to allow Alice to visit Breitenhilm City I and Breitenhilm City II. Both these caches are in good condition. Most of the time we had no problems to find an appropriate approach to the stages of this cache - I came prepared with printouts of the AMAP which were helpful in some cases, but not in all cases .
In the area around Vasoldsberg and Breitenhilm there exist many paths which do not exist on the AMAP .

To reach Stage 6 we had to make quite a detour because we did not approach it in a clever way. This stage also caused us other sorts of difficulties. It was also a bad idea to try to make a shortcut and to reach the next stage in a trackless manner. Quite a lot of additional height meters, some fences etc .

When we approached the final, I saw two people in the middle of the forest close-by. At the first moment I was unhappy because I thought they are muggles, but when they came nearer it turned out that we met E+T from ettt who were at the cache a few minutes earlier and who interrupted their logging process to avoid being seen by us.

After I found the cache, we all logged and were then kindly invited by E+T to their house where we got a very delicious original Styrian Easter meal with sweet Easter bread, ham, eggs etc. Thank you very much E+T+T for your hospitality At the house of E+T we also met Joando. Meeting four cachers from two different teams on a single day is something special in Styria!

Thanks for showing us Vasoldsberg at full length - I was not aware of the fact that quite long marked hiking paths exist in the area. Also the running routes seem to be quite new.

It was a very nice day. At the end I was, however nevertheless, glad that we had found the cache - I would not have liked to find many more stages.
