00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:02.000
Ah, there.

2
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:06.000
Oh, did you find it? Let's see. Perfect.

3
00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:30.000
I’m Sebastian. I’m 26. My geocaching nickname is “Sebasti 25“. So far, I think I’ve found 298 caches.

4
00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:34.000
Geocaching is an electronic treasure hunt using GPS and coordinates

5
00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:39.000
to find a small container with a logbook that you can sign.

6
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:48.000
I’m Thomas, 25 years old. I’ve found 800 caches and go by the name Nanuma.

7
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:54.000
This is my cacher equipment. I’ve always got my navigation device with me.

8
00:00:55.040 --> 00:01:01.000
Sometimes I also bring along the gripper, rod magnet, notepad and most important a pen.

9
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:08.000
A headlamp, torchlight, and UV lamp to read hidden messages.

10
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:13.000
And my personal stamp that I use to sign.

11
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.000
A co-worker got me interested in caching. I like being outdoors,

12
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
so I instantly caught the caching fever and have stuck with it ever since.

13
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.000
I’ve met a lot of new people, like Sebastian.

14
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:39.000
Thomas was my first real caching companion. I also got to know Cindy through caching.

15
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.000
Now we’re really good friends.

16
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.000
I’ve had another look. This is where we need to go. Should be that bridge over there.

17
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:46.000
There?

18
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:47.000
That one.

19
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.000
That’s really close. Right. Let’s check it out. Let's go. Okay.

20
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:06.000
We’re doing the Leibniz-secrets-tour. As Hanoverian I obviously have a thing for Leibniz.

21
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.000
And I love Leibniz cookies, especially the chocolate-coated kind.

22
00:02:10.040 --> 00:02:16.000
I knew about the Leibniz Temple and its connection to Hanover.

23
00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:23.000
We’re searching for mystery caches, solving Leibniz- related riddles

24
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:24.000
to find the container that’s hidden there.

25
00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:30.000
No, but I’d try the tree again.

26
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:34.000
There’s something up there, but I don’t think it’s the...

27
00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:36.000
...is that a bird box?

28
00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:37.000
I don’t know.

29
00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:41.000
Hey, guys, over here.

30
00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:50.000
There’s a wide range: Traditional caches in form of simple and easily accessible containers.

31
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:58.000
Or special riddle caches. And multi-caches distributed over several stations.

32
00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:04.000
Some of these also involve riddles that stretch three to four stations.

33
00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:05.000
Okay, we’ve got four pieces.

34
00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:10.000
Shall we line them up? Let’s mark this one, so we’ll find it. Yes.

35
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:16.000
Ahh, wait, I’ve got an idea. Look at it closely! What’s this?

36
00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:24.000
We counted, crunched numbers for a bit, used our imagination, and that got us to the final.

37
00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:26.000
So let’s go back and put it all in place.

38
00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:39.000
You learn a lot of historical facts, e.g. about Leibniz. And a lot about nature.

39
00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:51.000
Obviously, you’re much more successful in a group.

40
00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:52.000
I’ve got it! - Oh.

41
00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:57.000
Because you can search different places simultaneously and come up with different ideas.

42
00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:05.000
The coordinates are posted on Geocaching.com that also lists every single cache.

43
00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:09.000
You can click on the map to view individual caches and coordinates.

44
00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:20.000
Usually, it’s enough to read the description, and maybe take the magnet or extension arm with you.

45
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.000
It depends.

46
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.000
The possibilities are endless.

47
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.000
The best part is the surprise, the discovery.

48
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:33.000
You look forward to each new cache and the surrounding environment, the new places you get to see.
