santtu Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hello! I´m going to the area of Luxemburg and neighbourhood for one week at summer (about week 27). Do you have any ideas for caches in great places, not only "tubberware in the forest" caches. I like them also, but now I like to connect caching and finding of the naturally, historically or other ways worth of visit places. Thanks for any help and ideas! santtu Quote Link to comment
+DanPan Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) Hi santtu, Belgium is a small country, but with a lot of beautiful caches. I've "cut & paste" your post on our "Multilingual > English posts" section at Geocaching.BE forum. link to post @ Geocaching.BE forum Greetings from Belgium, DanPan [Geocaching.BE forum moderator] Edited April 14, 2007 by DanPan Quote Link to comment
+DanPan Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) Ok, I will start: "pure nature" caches: Pandoras box THE BLAIR CACHE PROJECT The 7 th Spirit Guardians of the Alignment Les Tables des Fées Pierre Haina "Mystery" nature caches: Vi Tchestay Traditional: La Ramonette Le Château des Fées La Roche des Fées Propaganda 1 Dambuster First cache in Belgium (7/7/2000): Geocache Who's next?

+DeepPurple Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) Here are my favorites : Paeninsula Olympia : a visit to the arboretum near Brussels Dijleland 1 : Arenberg : around the university of Leuven De Noormannen : last part is a real walking experience Waterman : a clever cache Tightropes : another clever cache Het Zoet Water : a walk in a little natural park But now I read your question more accurately, and I see that you're going to Luxembourg... All the caches here above are near Brussels... DeepPurple Edited April 14, 2007 by DeepPurple Quote Link to comment
santtu Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Merci beaucoup! Cache descriptions are problem sometimes, if there is no english at all. And sometimes to me altought there is. Anyhow, babelfish is useful enough! Thanks for all help given that soon. I will follow both forums. I will appreciate all info! And if someone wants to know something about Finland, don´t hesitate to ask. Quote Link to comment
+gr1sou Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Cache descriptions are problem sometimes, if there is no english at all. And sometimes to me altought there is. Anyhow, babelfish is useful enough! First, I would like to concur with DanPan's list : those I know are very good. Secondly, browsing "nearest" from those caches, will yield still more interesting results. Will do some research from our founds and put some more tips here. Question : what region will you be visiting ? With what kind of transport ? Will that be Luxemburg country ? Or Luxemburg city ? Oh, and if you have any major issues with the translation, don't hesitate to open a thread in the Belgium Forum : someone (including myself) should be able to give you a rough translation on the spot. (no sorry, don't volunteer to translate entire pages, but help needed is offered without any problem !) Hope you'll enjoy your holiday, Johan (aka dad of gr1sou family) Quote Link to comment
+gr1sou Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Some more ideas : more than enough to fill a week or more ! I made a selection from our founds, there are many more (nearest) that you could like : History caches Guillaume was 15 small walk, sad story Band of Brothers - Bastogne - Part 6 thematic cache near historic Bastogne Battle of the Bulge Just one example : look for more in nearest ! Some great thematic caches, full of historic information, placed for an event that took place here ! "Border" caches We enjoyed these two walks, along the BE-D border and BE-L border Grenzwanderweg Belgium Crossfire Nice walk caches Petite Mormont - Achouffe Not too hard, very good Pick this up ! MAILBOX (Luxembourg) When you're near, try to do this one : just make sure you come equiped with a post card, that will be mailed to you ! Fun idea. If you're going to Luxemburg (L) Bommeleer Attack # 2 We loved this series of theme caches, with plenty of information. Obviously, there is many more. From the geocaching.be site, you can get a map with caches, which allows you to zoom and check on the places you are planning to visit. Hope this helps, or triggers some others to visit these caches. Enjoy your holiday, Johan Quote Link to comment
santtu Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Question : what region will you be visiting ? With what kind of transport ? Will that be Luxemburg country ? Or Luxemburg city ? Thanks to all for help to find the caches from the big amount of great looking ones. It is nice to see that there are many languages used in the descriptions and great ideas. We will be around this area about one week by car. Is there country in Luxemburg in my opinion is it very small country. I´m sure after this week we will know more about it, it is in our target. We have no reservations for houses, we believe that is will be quite easy to find a b&b. Because we don´t know weather and we will follow our interestings and feelings, we don´t like to do fixed plans for the trip. MS and mrs santtu. Quote Link to comment

santtu Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 The trip has been done. Plans were changed many times. This was too short time to see everything, but we saw many nice urban, forest and between places. Some stupid DNF, all available info not used... Thanks! santtu Quote Link to comment
