This cache is something for you if you are good in Maths. The location is of interest, too, but I won't tell too much now - find out for your self. Once you are there, enjoy the place.
Some coordinates that'll help you. I used them for calculation, so you better stick to them.
Dom of Cologne: N 50°56,483' E 6°57,501'
Dom of Aachen: N 50°46.489' E 6°05,022'
Tower on Klever Berg: N 51°47,319' E 6°06,921'
From the cache location, the azimuthal angle between the Aachen and the Cologne Dom is 103° 54' 0,87''.
The azimuthal angle between the Cologne Dom and the Tower on Klever Berg is 84° 13' 49,26''.
And the cache is located INSIDE the triangle formed by the three landmarks.
For your calculations, think of the Earth as a FLAT plane. No height meters, no curvature, just simple plane trigonometry!
The rest is up to you!
Good luck!
P.S.: The Cache is a relaunch of "GCDE5F - Master of Trigonometry". After the old cache has been archieved in 2003, it has been logged many times. I decided to contact the original owner to relaunch this exceptionally cache. That was successfull.
Enjoy yourself!
