Geocaching in Sodankylä
Geocaching is a global outdoor sport in which people use satellite geolocation to help them look for various boxes hidden in the landscape.
There are several caches in Sodankylä which can be found in both summer and winter. You can find geocaches near the old church, on Kommattivaara hill, at Porttikoski rapids, on the Oratunturi fell and on Pittiövaara hill. In Luosto there are also local caches which are fun and easy for all the family to search for in a built-up area.
Remember! Secrecy is important in geocaching. When you search for and find a geocache, act the whole time in such a way that people nearby do not notice what you’re up to. Also, never reveal the exact location of a cache, for example online – give others the chance to have the same fun of treasure hunting that you had!
Geocaches are often hidden in places worth seeing. As you search for caches you may well find completely new and interesting places that you would not otherwise have found.
