Diese Woche ist der offizielle Start für das Internationale Geocaching Film Festival!
Vom 3. bis 7. November werden tausende Geocacher in der ganzen Welt an Geocaching-Film-Abenden teilnehmen. Die 16 Kurzfilme, die es ins Finale geschafft haben, werden prämiert. Du wirst lachen. Du wirst weinen. Du wirst vielleicht so sehr lachen, dass Dir die Tränen kommen.
Gehe auf die GIFF-Event-Karte, um über 500 GIFF-Events in mehr als 40 Ländern zu sehen und eines in Deiner Nähe zu finden.
During Friend to Find Week, thousands of geocachers took their “muggle” friends to find their very first cache.
We were thrilled with the submissions to the Friend to Find photo contest. Almost 2000 entries, from every corner of the world, provided evidence for a lot of friend-ly geocaching. The pictures were all so fun, we wish we could have named them all winners! However, we did cull it down to the Top Ten that we felt did the best job of portraying the breadth of your experiences. Well done to all of the participants, and congratulations to the winners – a new profile badge is headed your way!

A big thanks to everyone who participated in Friend to Find Week.
Who first introduced you to geocaching? Tell us in the comments below.
A geocache that has the words “oldest”, “highest”, or “largest” in its title is bound to be interesting. Because—let’s face it—geocachers are drawn to extremes like a magnet is drawn to the underside of a park bench. But isn’t it especially great when the cache that’s the something-est is also just a really cool cache in itself?
That’s exactly what makes GC6F6C8 Geocache of the Week.
Yes, it’s the Höchste Letterbox Deutschlands (highest letterbox in Germany). It also has a remarkably beautiful view, is large enough to carry trackables, and greets you when you open it.
That’s right. When GC6F6C8 is opened or closed, the pastoral sound of a cowbell rings out. (You know, in case you’d missed the flowering meadows, towering white-capped peaks, and swinging cable-car next door and didn’t realize you were in the Bavarian Alps.)
The mailbox-like metal container is safely secured—it can only be opened with a key hidden in a nearby hide-a-key box—and for good reason. The cache is plainly visible and clearly labelled, making stealthiness a bit irrelevant.
Thanks to hubersports for placing and maintaining this bucket-list geocache!
