Groundspeak is celebrating geocaching all over the world!

Signal’s first stop will be Germany! But you don’t have to go all the way to Germany to earn your Dönerstag Souvenir.

Dönerstag began in 2007 when German cachers met at kebab shops around the country all at the same time

These special events are held each year on a Thursday. In German, this makes the name “Dönerstag” a pun: The German word for Thursday is “Donnerstag.” Kebab translates to “Döner.”

On Thursday, April 13, players will gather to celebrate the 11th annual Dönerstag. You can earn the first-ever Dönerstag souvenir by attending a geocaching event on that day.

This event is going to be at The Brat House Grill in Wisconsin Dells! Come to eat (at your own expense) or just to hang out. The event will be from 6PM-8PM but BHG will also have OPEN JAM that night from 9PM-Midnight.

Patty Morabito has been generous enough to let us come celebrate German style with her!
