As a German geocacher, I feel it's my obligation to get this event rolling. Dönerstag is a traditional German Geocaching event involving the delicious Turkish/German street food Döner. Since a good Döner is hard to find in Taipei, we'll settle for the next best thing and that is Pita. Very close to the event location (see waypoint) there is a stall selling very delicious little Sababa pitas for under 100 NTD. Feel free to try one :)
About Dönerstag
Dönerstag began in 2007 when geocachers met at kebab shops around Germany all at the same time. The tradition caught on! These special events have since been held each year on a Thursday. In German, this makes the name “Dönerstag” a pun. The German word for Thursday is “Donnerstag” and the Turkish Döner kebab in German is simply “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.
We can now join in the fun in Taipei. You can also earn the first-ever Dönerstag souvenir by attending and logging a geocaching event on this day.
All geocachers are welcome. Hope to see you there. :)
