Geocaching round on the Niederauer Sonnberg
Walking and treasure hunting with GPS in Niederau
Near Niederau there is a geocaching walk over the Niederauer Sonnberg. The round is about 8.5 km long, has nine stations and takes roughly three hours. Geocaching is a kind of modern treasure hunt: with an app or GPS device you look for hidden containers.
So you combine walking with puzzles and searching. That works well for children who quickly get bored on an ordinary walk, since there is always a goal. For the caches themselves you use the Geocaching app or a GPS device; for the route, the description from the tourist office is handy. Plan on a walk with sturdy shoes and enough to drink.
