Find hidden treasures in Randers

Geocaching combines treasure hunting, the great outdoors and GPS. Choose a geocache in the Geocaching app and use your phone to find your way to the hidden location. When you find the cache, sign the logbook, put it back exactly as you found it, and log your find in the app.

You’ll find geocaches both in Randers and in the countryside around the town, so the treasure hunt can be combined with a walk along the Gudenåen, a trip to Randers Fjord or exploring the countryside around the town.

Go on the GeoTour Randers

The GeoTour Randers consists of 67 geocaches spread across Randers and the surrounding area. The route takes you through villages and past sights, monuments and nature areas, including the Gudenåen river and Randers Fjord.

You decide for yourself how many caches you want to find and in what order you want to visit them. This makes the GeoTour suitable both for a short treasure hunt and for several trips around the Randers area.

Geocaching along the Randers Fjord Trail

Combine geocaching with a walk along the new Randers Fjord Trail. The main route stretches 50 km along the fjord from Randers towards the Kattegat and passes through a varied landscape featuring water, meadows, woodland and small villages.

The trail is a further development of the former Lodssti and connects with the Gudenåstien trail near Randers.

Find caches along the Gudenå River

You can also combine geocaching with a walk along the Trækstien trail, which forms part of the Gudenåstien trail between Silkeborg and Randers. There are several caches along the stretch between Randers and Fladbro, adding an extra element of treasure hunt to your walk.

Geocaching on a rail bike and from the water

If you’d like to turn the treasure hunt into a bigger outing, the area can also be explored on a rail bike or from the water. Starting from Randers Fjord Feriecenter, you can set off on an expedition to find caches. You can hop on a rail bike and find caches along the old railway line, or go on a canoe trip to find the caches hidden in Randers Fjord. Read more about hiring rail bikes and canoes at Randers Fjord Feriecenter.

You can also hire canoes from Kyst- and Fjordcentret, from where you can find caches in the reed beds.
