Tasks:
1. Use the coordinates given above to park your car.
Before you start find the nearby boards shown in picture “Start” and calculate following variables:
A= (D6)-3
B="Heidschnuckenbestand" + (D5)² – (D3) – 4
C="Heidschnuckenbestand" – (D1)² + 70

2. N51 03.284 E6 45.547
How many trees belong / did belong to the Naturdenkmal = D?
Phone access code = E (ignore leading 0) and phone number = F (consider it as three-digit number).

3. Continue to N51 0(C+A²+19) E6 4(D*2).(F-194) Look for a 4-digit number encarved in the object = G. Follow path heading 240°; take a right 250m after crossing the bridge.

4. Next stop at N51 0D.(D+one-digit checksum of E)38 E6(G*A-5050). Here you to carry your bike upstairs. Count the steps = H.

5. Go on until N51 0((B-C)/120).4(H*2) E6 4(one-digit checksum of G). 0(A+H+34). On your way from station 4 to 5 you'll pass a cross. Stop right there and solve the tasks:
How many ornaments you can find (located in height of your head) = I?
The word encarved in the cross consists of Z golden letters.

6. There's a roofed-in sign with two numbered plates at the calculated coord's of task 5. The left number on the westerly plate is J (to be seen as three-digit number w/o comma).

7. Continue toN51 06.(J+102) E6 4(one-digit checksum of I).(D*I)²+15.
Look for a plate fixed at the building. Which letter appears most in the heading, count it and assign it to X.
Now assign the letter to its corresponding location in the alphabet = K (A=1, B=2 etc.)
The heading consists of how many letters = L?

8. At 51 06.(K*L+17) E 6 4(X).(F-J-395) a big building is located - house number = M?

9. Go on to N51 0(K/4).(I*6+8)3 E6 44. (J+K*3). At a green "gate" you will find a label of its manufacturer.
Note the 4-digit year on this label = N. The one-digit checksum of the year = P.

10. Now you're almost at your destination.Cache is at N51 0P.((K*L*M)-F)*P+(A-2)*M E6 (N-B-29*D²).(Z-4) (X*3) (M*P/I)
