GPS-scavenger hunt for investigators who are either young or young at heart
Hidden treasures are waiting to be found in the Bündner Oberland in the northwest of Graubünden. Equipped with GPS-devices, pens, paper, and maps as well as a well filled backpack parents and children are headed for geo-caching in the surrounding mountain world. You will not need to bring your own technical devices. Modern treasure maps can be borrowed from the testcenter in Brigels.
Geo-caching during the summer as well as in the winter
You can go treasure hunting in the Surselva all year. During both seasons many geocaches are waiting to be discovered between Rheinquellen, Rheinschlucht and Chur. With the help of mobile GPS-devices the young and the old hit the road. Team spirit and organizational talent are as much in demand as a good sense of orientation. Until the hiding places are found number codes and riddles have to be solved, questions about mystical incidents and about the local region have to be answered.
The puzzle consisting of all of the above hints will finally lead you to your destination. Geocaching Surselva can be approached as an adventurous tour full of surprises, a cosy family outing or a thrilling competition. Whether it be families, school groups or other small groups: it will be fun for everyone. Around Brigels you can find a winter-geocaching-trail especially designed for snow shoe hikers. Small, coloured flags mark the hiding places. If you ‚only’ whish to hike, you can download GPS-data and maps about hiking paths, alpine tours and snow shoe tours and even paths that lead to distant places like the Senda Sursilvana.
