For geocaching fans

The idea for a geocach-based hiking pass came from the local geocaching group. WildungerRangerTogether, they refined the implementation: In addition to an attractive offering for hikers, geocachers should of course not be neglected. Thus, alongside the punchers, also Logbooks housed in stations that can be used by geocachers. 

In addition, a hiking coin with a tracking code is available upon request instead of the regular hiking coin. Trackables are very popular with geocachers because they are passed on and can be tracked online via the code.

That's how it works

You can get the hiking pass as a flyer directly from our office and at tourist information centers. Alternatively, you can download and print it yourself here.

You then visit the stations marked on the map. These consist of the wooden boxes shown above, which are usually attached to signposts directly on the path. Each punch has a different motif - so there's no cheating!

Once you've visited each station, you can exchange your hiking pass either in person at our office or at the locations listed below. Alternatively, you can send your pass to us by mail or email. Don't forget to include your address and let us know if you need the hiking coin with a tracking code.
