Dönerstag began in 2007 when German cachers met at kebab shops around Germany, all at the same time. The tradition caught on! The German word for Thursday is “Donnerstag.” Kebab translates to “Döner.” Last year, over 6000 cachers attended 233 Dönerstag events. The events were held all over Europe, from Germany and Austria to the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
On Thursday, April 13, geocachers will gather to celebrate the 11th annual Dönerstag. You can earn the first-ever Dönerstag souvenir by attending this event.
This event will take place at Viera Regional Park on Thursday evening from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. We will gather at the pavilion near the water. We have a very limited supply of special coins made just for this event available too. Log your will attend early so we can plan. We may have some further announcements so be sure to log a will attend so you get all the updated info as the event gets closer.
