Back to the Netherlands - Westerwolde

We picked up a coin that wanted to go to Hamburg, Germany. We figured out a cache along the highway not to far from Hamburg (GCNFYK - OsteTal), we combined it with a well deserved rest from the drive from Denmark.

We logged it at 15:00 and left the coin behind.

We made stop in the North of the Netherlands because to drive home in one go would be to far.
In the neighbourhood of the camping site of choice a couple of caches were hidden. Actually on of those (GC141R3 - Koppie koppie) started at the entrance of the camping site.
While walking the route we by accident discovered the stash of the cache (GC1Q2T9 - Noorder rondrit ~ De Bonus), a bonus cache of a bicycle trip around the area. We logged this one at 20:45.

We also passed by a virtual cache (GCJ8BN - The Big Crash), a crash site of two airplanes a couple of years ago.
We passed by at 21:30.

We discovered the stash of the (GC141R3 - Koppie koppie) cache at 22:00, just before dark.

And then the next day before driving home we decided to go for a multi-cache (GC13AJR - Mooi Westerwolde), that also starts at the entrance of the camping site.
A nice walk in a forest area, with sunny weather.

It was a very nice forest but with a lot of ticks, that were crawling around in the coat of the bears. I catch-ed almost one hundred of those dreadful animals.

We logged it at 13:00 and went back to our motor home to drive homeward.

(Møgel) Tønder

Our last stop in Denmark would be on a camping site in Tønder. We visited Mogel Tønder about three years ago with our oldest bear Toby, Brego wasn't born yet, and we still had our old motor-home.
We walked across the beautiful village Mogel Tønder.

We found the first cache (GC1G4RR - Æ kagmand)

We logged it at 15:05, it was a nano as you can see in this next picture.

The next cache was in a very nice spot (GC1G44E - Liebestempel), we had to search very thoroughly

This again was a nano and we were able to find it and log it at 15:25.

The third in row was the cache (GC1PYJK - den brandgoe tønder), it was hidden near a fire station, and hidden in a place that we wouldn't have found without the hint helping us.
We logged this one at 15:50.

And the last of the day was the cache (GC15A1M - Tønder Festival), hidden in an area were the Festival is taking place once a year. It wasn't that time of the year so it was very quiet around here now.

We were able to find it again hidden in a sneaky way and log it at 16:00.

So we were ready to go back to the camping site to relax a little bit.

And then for this last caching day in Denmark we went fir a biking trip to the scenic village of Møgeltønder.
It was a very nice sunny day so when we arrived it was time to rest a little bit and have something to drink.

The multi-cache (GC1B8WP - Schakenborg Møgeltønder) is a walk that leads through this nice village. So since we enjoy multi's more than anything we went for it.

We had to count the number of entrances tot he graveyard.

The walk also brought us to the entrance of the castle where the Prince of Denmark is living.

And some more beautiful spots in this small historical village, at one point we had to figure out the stash location that was located in a park. We couldn't find the box at the first place that we searched.

After some trial and error I discovered our mistake, we had the wrong number of crowns. Once that was corrected we found the box, and could log at at 14:45.

This was the last cache we found in Denmark and our number 292 cache found.

Gronninghoved Strand

Next stop in Denmark was Gronninghoved Strand on the mainland. We found a camping site nearby the shore but also with a forest in the back yard.

After we arrived and were a little bit settled down it was time for a walk in the neighbourhood and a little tour passing by some caches.
The first cache we found is a cache laid down by a Dutch team in the early days of geocaching.
(GC67C1 - The Little Container)

We logged this one at 16:50

Next into the forest hills to find the next (GC1DZ9D - On the way to Skamlingsbanken)

We logged it at 17:30
And then we walked back to the camping site to get something to eat.

Next day it was time for some other caches in the area nearby the camping site.
Today we left the camping site via the backdoor directly into the forest.

We walked up the hill to arrive at a very nice place.

(GCB854 - Nice View)
We made this picture at 13:20, and could find the needed answer to the question.

The also on top of the mountain the cache (GC1656V - Skamlingsbanken) was hidden. Actually it was hidden in a meadow where sheep were grazing, so our bears would have loved to gather them around, but ofcourse they couldn't and had to stay on the leash.

We found the container at 13:40

Faaborg - Fynen

Yesterday we went on the way to the third island of Denmark, Fynen. We first stopped to pick up a mystery cache for which I had to play on a jukebox all night long to finally get the Super Jackpot being 4 geocaching logo's on the roll.
This cache (GC13C3J - Super Jackpot) was hidden in Odense, where we passed by on our way to the South of the Island.

We logged it at 13:15.

The we arrived at the camping site in Faaborg. We relaxed a bit and after dinner we went for a multi cache nearby (GC107C3 - Tårnet i bakkerne) a not to long cache that guided us through very beautiful nature.
First we had to gather information at some sort of information point.

Beautiful nature and beautiful weather, life is good.

At one way-point we had to read information on a statue, but cattle had gathered.

We looked at them for a short while from behind a fence, and the we thought they were very gentle and only very curious so one of us was brave enough to go and look for the information we needed.

To find the cache-box wasn't easy at all, and took almost an hour of so to find it.
But we finally found it at 20:30, time for coffee back at the motor home.

The boys waiting while I write the logbook, and catching a lot of ticks, at the camping site I removed about one hundred of those terrible bugs from them, running around in their furry coat.

Today we went for a series of caches called Fyn er fin in the very nice area Svanninge Hills.

The first cache we found was (GCTX64 - Fyn er fin #3). We logged it at 13:30.

And we left one of our own TB's in this cache-box. TB Dog's or Bears. Good journey...

We passed by a virtual cache (GCKX13 - TROLL). We made the picture at 13:55.

The next cache we visited (GCTX62 - Fyn er fin #1), we logged it at 14:05.

In this area also another cache (GCHAV2 - Svanninge Hills) is hidden that is not part of the series but we searched for it anyhow. Logged it at 14:55.

Sometimes when we are searching for the caches the boys need to wait patiently for us to find it.

Next cache of the series (GCTX63 - Fyn er fin #2) logged at 15:15.

We walked around in astonishing nature, that wasn't punishment at all.

The fourth cache of the series (GCTX67 - Fyn er fin #4) logged at 15:30.

Then we could go for the final of the series (GCTXKK - Fyn er fin #5), but first we had to combine all the letters we found in caches #1 thru #4 into a local speciality, we didn't have a clue what it should be so I visited the golf-club nearby to ask for help. A lady there was able with some logic from my side to figure out the word we needed. She never ate it herself but heard of it. We went for the coordinates and found the stash, logged it at 16:30.

A little rest after hiding the cache-box again.

Statistics after this day 283 caches found.
