Following in the footsteps of Indiana Jones — with GPS device through forest and meadows

Indiana Jones has left unique artifacts for his descendants. These await a worthy successor — but first the inheritance must be settled. Only the team that completes all adventures and returns to the starting point first with the correct number combination has proven worthy and may inherit from Indy. With GPS, ingenuity, and team spirit — let’s go.

What you've always wanted to know about the GPS geocaching tour in the Allgäu

How is a GPS treasure hunt in the Allgäu structured?

The GPS treasure hunt offers the opportunity to encounter each other anew through outdoor experiences against the backdrop of the Allgäu Alps. Team tasks, exciting puzzles, thrilling challenges, and much more await you — intensive, fun-filled, and connecting team experiences in nature.

What should you bring?

To be well-equipped for the tour, you should wear closed, sturdy shoes with good tread as well as rain gear / warm clothing (on cold days also hat and gloves). We provide GPS devices, maps, and puzzle materials.

The treasure hunt demands various competencies simultaneously: strategic thinking (which route is fastest?), communication (who has which information?), task distribution (who solves puzzles, who navigates, who tackles obstacles?). Plus: shared moments of success when finding each cache — connecting the team over hours.

  • GPS navigation as a team — modern technology meets movement in nature
  • Puzzles and tasks at each waypoint
  • Indiana Jones story as a common thread with reward moment at the end
  • Additional modules such as rope bridge construction for more action and complexity

Where does the GPS treasure hunt in the Allgäu take place?

The GPS treasure hunt is possible at various locations in the Allgäu — choose your tour according to your preferences and group size. Also available worldwide as an in-house format upon request.

The Allgäu as a treasure hunt territory

The Allgäu is not only a wonderful vacation region for families. Surrounded by mountains, forest, and meadows, everyone can find peace and relaxation here. Pure nature — whether on beautiful hikes with breathtaking views over the Allgäu mountains or refreshing dips in one of the Allgäu lakes. Gorges and traditional alpine pastures are additional possible stations on the treasure hunt.

We select the route together to suit your group: short routes through forest and meadows for mixed groups, medium tours with gentle elevation for more active teams, or more challenging routes with additional modules for adventure-oriented groups. City routes are also possible — anywhere GPS reception works.

  • Mountains, forest, and meadows alternating — diverse setting
  • Allgäu lakes as optional caches or rest stops
  • Gorges and ravines for rope bridge construction module
  • Alpine pastures for stylish refreshments after the tour
