Current Goal

I am a pickle from the Spreewald, which is the most famous cucumber-growing area in Germany. (In case you're wondering, "pickle" in German is "Gurke".) My life started as a finisher medal for a half marathon. Although I may be big and heavy, my goal is to travel around the world, free and easy as a bird. Some places I would like to see on the way are New Zealand, the USA, and Spain. Then I want to return home to Muskratmarie in Berlin. Please help me on this ultimate Ultraquest! Also take pictures and tell me your story. As a reward, you can hang me around your neck for a while and feel like a winner!

Edit (19.4.2011): I don't care anymore where I go. Thanks for moving me along... I love to travel!

About This Item

Have a pickle!

The Spreewald was created during the ice ages. Today the Spree river flows wide and shallow here, passing a maze of sand bars and islands before consolidating again to flow through Berlin. Many places can be reached only by boat, so it is truely a German "Venice". To learn more about this fascinating and lovely area, see for instance this website: (visit link)

Mit der Gurke zu joggen, treibt es einem ordentlich die Schweißperlen auf die Stirn.

Before starting my journey around the world, I decided to stop off at the monthly bash in Berlin so many cachers can discover me first.

P.S. Many thanks to Ratone, from whom I got my TB tag. Maybe I will meet his Afrodita TB, who got lost on her travels. If so, I'll send her home to her husband Brutus ASAP, who misses her terribly! 😚
(Ratone can log an honorary discovery...)

  • Goodbye to Berlin-Steglitz
  • Practicing hiding Bet you can't find me! ;-D
