25 Years of Geocaching and 18 Years of OFZE
It all started for OFZE in November 2008,
with the organization of an event aimed at creating a fun day for all cachers.
Geocaching began on May 2, 2000, and on May 3, Dave Ulmer placed the first cache and
called it the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt." The rules were simple back then:
Take something from the stash – now called a cache – sign the logbook, and leave
something behind.
On November 8, 2025, we are planning another OFZE event.
You are welcome starting from 9:30 AM at N52° 31.431' E5° 43.143’
This is at De Meerpaal, De Rede 80, Dronten
