The position differs by about 100m to the WGS84 confluence point. Actually there is is a traditional geocache at the "correct" position. If you like to visit this waymark and the geocache look for GC1322E.
The stone was settled by the BEV (Bundesamt für Eich- und Vermessungswesen) and is very close to the Austrian-Czech border.
You cannot drive to the spot, you will have to walk about 1.5km through the beautyfull woods.
Visit Instructions:
1. A closeup photo of the waymark with your GPS, or (a part of) you in it, is required.
2. An area photo including the waymark in the view is highly appreciated.
Logs not meeting the requirements are considered arm chair visits and are therefor subject for deletion.
