Kindheitserinnerungen III—Geocache of the Week – Official Blog

Nostalgia. Who doesn’t have warm fuzzy memories of their childhood—running in the snow, holding a beloved stuffed animal, or playing with colorful new toys like the Skip-It?

With our Geocache of the Week, those memories are more vivid than ever. Take a walk down memory lane with us as we visit Kindheitserinnerungen III (GC5BW5P) in Germany.

The journey back through time starts with a trek down a dirt road. Not only are cars not permitted on this path, but walking (or running, or skipping, if one chooses) takes geocachers back to being a kid, when driving wasn’t an option.

Thankfully for those of us who don’t have a child’s energy, this cache isn’t too far down the path (it turns out the walk down memory lane is more like a short stroll).

As a large cache, GC5BW5P is hard to miss. Follow the instructions in the cache description and hint to unlock the door to this ultimate time capsule.

The searching doesn’t stop once you’ve unlocked the cache—stickers, magnets, cut-outs, and mementos cover every inch of the interior. The more you look, the more there is to see!

After a moment to take it all in, it’s time to find the logbook and record your own history with this nostalgic hide. Flipping back through the pages, you might find logs dating back to 2014—over a decade of visitors!

With 1,131 Favorite points as of February 2025, it’s no wonder cache owner Amöbenlimbo continues to keep the memories alive. Logs on the cache page are overflowing with stories, recollections, and favorite gadgets from geocachers’ childhoods.

Geocaches like GC5BW5P perfectly encapsulate the sentimental feeling that many experience when reminiscing about the past.

It’s amazing to think that we’ll be celebrating 25 years of geocaching later this year. That’s 25 years of navigation improvements, millions of geocaches hidden, and countless geocaching memories.

We may be nostalgic about many things, but geocaching will always be at the top of our list.
