We’re kicking off our 2026 Geocache of the Week series with a twist, quite literally!
History, craftsmanship, and geocaching are spun together at Danke Prora 2013 (GC47NWY).
Let’s celebrate the highlights of 2025! We’ve compiled statistics that truly showcase the geocaching community’s remarkable accomplishments this past year.
A new year is a natural moment to pause, reflect, and look ahead. In geocaching, that can mean setting a clear goal—or simply staying open to wherever the game leads next.
Some geocachers start the year with a plan, like completing a challenge, exploring new places, or focusing on a favorite cache type or difficulty. Others take a more flexible approach, fitting geocaching into everyday life and using it as a way to get outside and connect with their community.
We asked geocachers to share what they’ve set out to accomplish in 2026.
This year was exceptional for unique geocaches worldwide, and we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 to share. From a clever disguise in Switzerland and a colorful gadget cache in Texas to a not-so-little library in Canada and a sneaky lock near an iconic Spanish landmark, the variety is sure to excite.
To create this list, we evaluated the most-liked geocaches on our blog, Facebook, and YouTube. Each week, we spotlight diverse geocaches from around the globe. Now, we want to hear your favorites!
In 2025, we celebrated a major milestone—25 years of geocaching! To mark this special anniversary, we introduced a new hiding theme per quarter to celebrate geocaches published in 2025. Every three months, we featured geocaches from that quarter’s theme on the Geocaching Blog and social media.
For our fourth and final hiding theme of the year, each nomination helped us revisit memorable moments in geocaching. We struck retro gold with your ‘blast’tastic nominations and discovered caches that could make a highlight reel titled “geocaching’s greatest hits.”
