Cannonballs in Olomouc (GC2DVMR)

Type: multi micro cache
Coordinates: N 49° 35.457 E 017° 15.270 




During the history, the city of Olomouc has been attacked by a number of armies. 
The Prussian attack in 1758 was one of the most devastating for the city. The shooting lasted for 30 days and more than 100 000 cannonballs were shot. The western past of the city was destroyed the most heavily. Some of the houses attacked were then reconstructed, many of the cannonballs were removed and later placed again to remind the war suffering and the final victory.

Some of the cannonballs are still a part of the front sides of the houses. They are placed in different heights, sometimes also in the passageways.
To gain the final coordinates, you will have to find and count them. The whole journey is about 3,7 km long and should take you from 2,5 to 3 hours.
Then you have to fill the numbers in the following formula:

N 49° 35.(A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I+J+K)*AD-B
E 017° 14.(A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I+J+K)*DK-J

Loads of them, right? And it's more than probable that there are more than these...they are just not visible.
