From trend to lasting popularity

The first official geocache was hidden in 2000 although the idea of hiding and then searching for “treasures” has occupied us much longer. Many really enjoy hiding and searching for treasures of various kinds, sizes and types and then sharing this enthusiasm with the community. 

Saalbach was one of the first holiday destinations to pick up on this trend and created many geocaching power trails. In the past few years, a wide range of geocaching hikes have developed alongside these. Many caches are hidden in the mountains waiting to be found!

Geocaching in the Home of Lässig

The beautiful nature in the Glemmtal valley makes this popular recreational activity even more of a special experience. Clever kinds of containers, which only reveal themselves as such after a painstaking search, are hidden on the mountain, in the valley and on secluded mountain peaks. And surprisingly genuine looking roots and pine cones prove to be something very different on closer inspection! 

Once the treasures have been found the cachers enter their names in the logbook (online or offline), leave a little something behind / or exchange the treasures and share their success with others from the geocaching community.
