Modern paperchase: The game from childhood days is now called geocaching and transforms cyclists on the German Fehnroute in East Frisia into treasure hunters.

The coordinates of the hiding places have to be retrieved in the Internet at www.geocaching.de in order to discover the “treasures“ with GPS along the 163 kilometre route. Little puzzles lead from site to site and call attention to the “Fehn” culture and region.

Who here thinks of fairytale figures is on the wrong track, this concerns the colonisation of the moors in East Frisia from 1630 onwards. A navigation device as well as a handbook with course description and tips are held ready at the Tourist Centre Leer.
