Geocaching.com Presents: LOST Places - GERMANY 'Stadt im Wald'
Upon discovering this Geocaching YouTube video, I felt
reanimated because a few months ago I decided to start trying to learn the
German language. Although, to be honest
it has been slow going since I am attempting to teach myself German through
various online lessons, etc. Even though I still have a lot of Deutsch lernen to do, I
was happy to be able to understand a few words such as:
- Stadt [shtat] = City
- Wald [valt] = Forest
- mein Name ist (insert your name here) [miyn nahmuh ist] = My name is ...
- und mein Geocaching Name ist ... = and my geocaching name is ...
- alten Plätze [alten pletsuh] = old places
- klein [kliyn] = small
- The word 'Geocaching' [GEE-oh-cashing] is a no brainer.
Anyways, maybe this will inspire some of you to learn another
language, and expand your Geocaching territory!

About this video:
Watch the first Geocaching.com Presents video from Germany. Join a group of German geocachers as they explore a Lost Place cache. Lost Place Caches takes geocachers to a location that has been all but forgotten by time. Follow a group of geocachers as they search an abandoned Soviet military base. It's located in what used to be East Germany.

Sehe das erste "Geocaching.com Presents" Video aus Deutschland. Schließ dich der Gruppe von deutschen Geocachern an, als sie einen Lost Place, der sie zur einer ehemaligen sowjetischen Militärbasis führt, erforschen.
Geocache Location of reference:

This Geocache looks like so much freakin’ fun! :D

UPDATE:
Sadly, I have to report that this popular Multi-Cache is no
longer. After the demolition of parts of
the site, damage allegedly caused by geocachers, and too many visitors in the
late evening hours, the final access point has been sealed forever by the
forester. The owner of the cache (hornesia caches)
has terminated the cache.
"City in the forest (GC17K3A) was undoubtedly one of the most famous German Lost Places caches. Was similar to known really just "The Ruins of prow" which was sent to the archive forever also a few weeks ago."

Never fear! There are
still thousands of geocaches to find throughout Germany and Europe.

5 Reasons to Geocache Around the World
GO GLOBAL! Here is an article that will inspire you...
Harness Your Inner Amazing Race Contestant: 5 Reasons to Geocache Around the World
By Mary Richardson, March 29th, 2010 on BootsnAll Travel Network (go here to read full article)
Here are their five reasons to incorporate geocaching into your travel plans.
1. Geocaching Has Gone Global
"Since its inception, the geocache craze has spread all over the world – and I mean all over.
Not only are there caches right now probably within a 20 mile radius of you, but they are waiting to be discovered in thousands of international locations. There are caches hidden among the temple ruins of Angkor Wat, side alleys in Barcelona, and jungles in Okinawa.
This means that you can participate almost any place you happen to be visiting, or design trips based on descriptions sounding interesting to you. Perhaps even more relevant in these trying economic times, however, is that you can trek around your own city and entertain that wanderlust without ever leaving home."
2. Geocaching Takes You Off the Beaten Path
"While searching for that cache down a side street in Rome, for example, you might find a tasty hole in the wall to eat your lunch, which could end up being the best Italian food of your life. Or you might saunter through a public park in China and come upon an interesting artistic performance."
3. Geocaching Gets You Closer to Nature
"Because the caches are stashed where they can’t easily be tampered with, you’ll sometimes find yourself immersed in natural beauty."
4. Geocaching is Great for Planners and Spontaneous Sorts
"In fact, geocaching appeals to both types of traveler as it provides a short-term specific goal and chance environments. In addition, it’s ideal for imparting that same sense of purpose for solo travelers as well as families with children, who perhaps need a reason to be excited about being away from home."
5. Geocaching Involves You in a Community
"Geocaching enhances your sense of involvement in a dynamic global community. You’re encouraged to record your discoveries online as well as post anecdotes and pictures of your enterprises.
More importantly, you’re given a unique opportunity to “craft” experiences for others to enjoy. Did you stumble upon a special waterfall while hiking in Hawaii? Place a cache nearby and bestow the encounter on a fellow nature-lover. Wandering around narrow side streets in Tokyo, did you find an interesting temple? Hide a geocache in a crevice in the wall and lead another person right to it."
