Geocaching at Tannberg.

Treasure hunting with history.

Discover the modern form of treasure hunting: geocaching! In this exciting activity, you search for so-called caches hidden in various (and sometimes even unusual) locations. Each cache has its own geocoordinates stored on a global platform accessible to all geocachers. Using a GPS device or a special app on your smartphone, you set out to find these hidden treasures.

The greatest joy for a geocacher is to find a cache, leave a mark in the logbook, and thus confirm their discovery.

Geocaching is not only a lot of fun for experienced treasure hunters, but it also offers a fantastic experience for the whole family. Experience the thrilling combination of adventure and history in nature together!

Offline Availability: Save the caches for offline use so that you are not dependent on an internet connection while on your treasure hunt.
Read Cache Details: Before each search, read the cache's "listing" to get all the important information and clues. Often, you may need to solve a puzzle before you can start searching.

Replace the Cache: Please hide the cache back exactly where you found it to preserve the surprise for the next geocachers.
