The Cache
The box is hidden on a hill (820 meters above sea level) close to Freiburg. A good starting point for your hike/ride is the concrete foal near the given park coordinates. The path is well sign-posted with a blue rhombus and leads you in approx. one hour up to the peak of Kybfelsen. On your way you will pass the ruins of the old Kyburg castle and you can enjoy the wonderful view over the Upper Rhine Valley to the Vosges mountains in France.
tl;dr
Soweit die Beschreibung für die internationalen Gäste - die sicherlich in Massen nach Freiburg eilen werden. Für alle Einheimischen: Ihr sucht nach einem klassichen Cache auf dem Kybfelsen, den Ihr Euch mit ein paar Höhenmetern erarbeiten dürft.
