Geocache Description:


The Dummy Tree


This cache is hidden in the most special and touching tree in the Frederiksberg Garden, The Dummy Tree.

Children decide to donate their dummies to this tree and in return the Dummy Fairy gives them a special gift.

In Denmark you reach a milestone when you become 3 years old. You are not a baby anymore and should start the kindergarten. This - among other changelles - means giving up your lovely friend, the dummy.

Normally that's pretty hard to do. So to ease the pain many parents make this giving-up-day a special day by taking their kids to Frederiksberg Garden where they can make this day unique with a great picnic in a wonderful surrounding.

Usually children attach some small, personal and touching letters to their dummies when they hang them on the tree.

See here how a Danish girl named Ida expressed her feelings when saying bye bye to her dummies...


Goodbye Dummy. My best friend. I love you. I'll miss you. But now I'm a big girl, and mom and dad say I don't need you anymore... Ida, 3 years + 3 months.

When you look at the tree and read all the small notes, you can't help smiling. Nevertheless this isn’t an easy job for many of the children. They are proud of being big now and going to kindergarten, but giving up their best friends isn’t that easy. Some look really sad, some cry, while others try to be brave.

The cache is ONLY AVAILABLE from 6.00 to 22.00. It is a small plastic box containing logbook and pencil. Good luck!
