This is a regular cache on Top of Imperia.
You can reach the parking location 1 via Sant Agata. If you prefer a longer round trip you can Park at "Via Delle Scuole" at
N 43 54.760
E008 00.166
then follow the "Via Delle Scuole" over
N 43 54.976
E008 00.112
to
N 43 55.290
E007 59.911
From here follow small trail uphill (signed "Sant´Giacomo" - Via Bauso Grosso)
If there are people in the house at
N 43 55.362
E007 59.606
you can say "hello - we are geocachers" - and then you get a cup of coffee or water.
At
N 43 55.367
E007 59.541
is a good place to park you car (Parking location 2) - if you want only a short walk to the cache (about 30 Minutes from here).
On the way from here to the cache you can have a nice view to Santuario (old Church with Italian restaurant). I can recommend to have a really good typical Italian dinner there (located at N 43 54.735 / E 007 59.320). You must reserve a table via Phone (0183-69192). The dinner begins fixed at 8 pm / 8.30 pm) - only weekends!
The cache is located at
N 43 55.082
E 007 59.757
It is NOT the easy to find eye-catching stone cluster - just some meters far away from there...
From the cache you can follow the trail to Parking location 1 as a round course - or walk back to Parking location 2.
At N 43 55.044 / E 007 59.891 chose the RIGHT trail.
At N 43 54.873 / E 008 00.026 chose the LEFT trail.
The whole trip is also available for off-road (!) bikes or motorcycles!
It is about 4 km (2 km on road, 2 km "off road"). Adults should be able to complete the round trip in 2 hours.
My son (4 years) and i needed 1 hour from Parking location 2 to the Cache and then to Parking location 1 - most of this part is the downhill off-road trail.
The 2 Liters plastic Box is initial filled with
a) Water-Colors with a brush
b) painting kit with pencil, rubber, ruler
c) 3 finger-animals
d) a dummy handy
e) a Cooling Bag for Drink-Cans (eg. Coke)
f) an original www.geocaching.org compass
g) a coin for shopping-cart
The cache will be maintained (if nessasary) 4 times a year - beginning from spring to fall (no maintaining in Nov-Feb).
