The first hiding theme of 2026 is hidden in plain sight: urban edition. This theme covers clever, camouflaged geocaches that blend into everyday urban surroundings.
Each quarter, we will introduce a new hiding theme to celebrate geocaches published in 2026. We will also feature geocaches from each theme on the Geocaching Blog and social media.

🏔️ This takes geocaching to new heights! 🏔️
A gadget cache to lift the spirits without letting your feet leave the groundis a must for every geocacher! Look no further than this clever geocache in a quiet shopping center in Minnesota.
If you looked at the souvenirs page in the Geocaching app and website recently, you may have noticed something new: Treasures milestone souvenirs!
Geocachers can now earn souvenirs for reaching certain milestones for collecting Treasures and completing Treasures collections. In addition to the new souvenirs, we also released a new Treasures collection, Seashells, to help you on your way to achieving these milestones.
Geocachers celebrate the holidays in many ways—from earning souvenirs and hosting Events to finding “just one more cache” before the year ends. In many places, a popular tradition is holiday and winter geocache trails.
Throughout fall and winter, local geocachers create seasonal series to give back to the community. Some trails release one cache per day like an advent calendar, while others publish all at once for a planned outing. No matter the format, they share the same spirit: creativity, generosity, and community.

As we tie our shoes and boot up our GPSs for a new year of adventures, we bring you more geocaches every week that embody the “wow” factor.
This week, we spotlight ON 12.22 : Roermond – Remunj (GCBDAF8), a cleverly crafted traditional hide tucked into a welcoming residential corner of Roermond, Netherlands, and is both a local charm and a geocaching engineering marvel.
