Geocaching is an open air activity joining technology with physical exercise. In general it's a modern version of a treasure hunt using a GPS instead of the map. This year we offer two "caches", one for beginners and one advanced. The two cache visites are guided but experienced geocachers can do them on their own. The caches of Strossen Wibbelt are not official. |

Les caches du Strossen Wibbelt ne sont pas des caches officiels. |
