    We present a large-scale quantitative contextual survey of the geocaching community in Germany, one of the world�s largest\ngeocaching communities.We investigate the features, attitudes, interests, andmotivations that characterise theGerman geocachers.\nTwo anonymous surveys have been carried out on this issue in the year 2007.We conducted a large-scale qualitative general study\nbased on web questionnaires and amore targeted study, which aimed at a comprehensive amount of revealed geocaches of a certain\nregion. With sample sizes of n = 1982 (study 1: general study) and n = 310 (study 2: regional study) we provide a representative\nbasis to ground previous qualitative research in this domain. In addition, we investigated the usage of technology in combination\nwith traditional paper-based media by the geocachers. This knowledge can be used to reflect on past and future trends within the\ngeocaching community.
