Geocache Description:

This cache is an ammo container and contains some little things to trade. Be aware that at certain times they are a lot of muggles in this area. It is a day cache only!

To log the cache you have to open the lock and lock box in the ammo container. But there is a little obstacle -> this box is locked and involves a little bit of work to crack the code. Who ever cracks the code will be able to fill out the log and has access to a Swiss bank deposit!

Collectors for foreign coins are going to like this cache.

All the clues are in walking distance and wheelchair accessible. If you walk on the paved road it is ~1 mile and it takes you ~30 minutes.


The Swiss National Bank


The Swiss National Bank is the central bank of Switzerland. It is responsible for Swiss monetary policy and for issuing Swiss franc banknotes.

This is a set of the Swiss coins that you can earn!



First you have to figure out the 4 coordinates where you can find the numbers or letters to open the box.

The coordinates below have missing numbers! To figure out the numbers you have to exchange the Question mark with the number. The numbers are in one of the four official languages of Switzerland.

For more information about the Swiss Languages just click on this link.


If you are looking at Swiss money bills you will see that the Swiss franc value is written in four different languages:

Italian
French
German
Romansh




We recommend that you translate the numbers to complete the coordinates at home and then go out to find the cache and to get the lock entries!

Replace the question marks with the translated numbers:

Missing Coordinates in Italian language:
N 34° ??.700 hint -> dieci ____
W 079° 49.?91 hint -> due ____

Missing Coordinates in French language:
N 34° 10.7?5 hint -> huit ____
W 079° 49.?97 hint -> un ____

Missing Coordinates in German language:
N 34° 10.?23 hint -> sieben _____
W 079° 49.02? hint -> vier ____

Missing Coordinates in Romansh language:
N 34° ??.640 hint -> dix ____
W 079° 49.1?9 hint -> trais ____

Now go to these coordinates (view points) and look for the four lock entries. Please remain on these exact coordinates to look for the clues.

1st Lock entry clue -> white / black 3rd _____

2nd Lock entry clue -> 5th red dot / 1st letter ____

3rd Lock entry clue -> blue / 3rd yellow number ____

4th Lock entry clue -> blue / 2nd row / 3rd ____

Align the numbers and letters on the lock where it says “Master”. Start from the left to the right!

Now open the lock!




Ok -> open the box and let’s celebrate the success! Please take only one set of Swiss coins per cacher.

Have fun!
