Geocaching

Go in search of hidden treasures and discover the most amazing places in the area!

Geocaching is a very nice and addictive way to get out in nature, even with the whole family! Even the youngest members of the family will definitely be excited about this kind of modern treasure hunt, which often takes the traveler to such natural gems and historical sites that might not otherwise be found.

How do you get started?

• Geocaches are scattered all over the Borderlands – in the centers of cities and towns, along magnificent natural sites, and right in the heart of Lake Saimaa and the border region. All you need to search is a smartphone and a free geocaching app. The caches offer different levels of challenge, so there is plenty to find for both beginners and more experienced seekers.
