Geocaching HQ is celebrating geocaching around the world. First stop Germany! You can earn the first-ever Dönerstag souvenir by attending a geocaching event on April 13.
I thought this would be a good place for those in Nassau County to celebrate this event and get the souvenir. Stop in and sign the log.
About Dönerstag.
Dönerstag began in 2007 when German cachers met at kebab shops around the country all at the same time. The tradition caught on!
These special events are held each year on a Thursday. In German, this makes the name “Dönerstag” a pun: The German word for Thursday is “Donnerstag.” Kebab translates to “Döner.”
Last year, over 6000 players attended 233 Dönerstag events. The events were held all over Europe, from Germany and Austria to the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
