Signal’s first stop: Germany. On Thursday, April 13, players will gather to celebrate the 11th annual Dönerstag. You can earn the first-ever Dönerstag souvenir by attending a geocaching event on that day.
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! The Cove Deli & Pizza serves great Gyros, (a version of a Kebab). Dinner is on you, or just come visit and enjoy a short gathering of fellow cachers.
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.
How to join in.
You’re invited to join in this year’s Dönerstag from wherever you are in the world. Attend and log a geocaching event on April 13, 2017, to earn the souvenir. You can find events using the geocache search tool.
Before visiting Germany, Signal has to learn how to geocache just like a German geocacher. Help him answer the questions below and become an expert too. Dankeschön! https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2017/03/where-in-the-world-is-signal-the-frog-geocaching-in-germany-quiz/
