Have you heard of #Geokrety? Or have you heard of #travelbugs? They're great fun, and whereas TravelBugs are commercial and will cost you money, Geokrety are open-source and completely free!

With a little DIY, you can turn whatever you like into a trackable object. People can then move these from cache to cache and register each move with this service. You can then see the trip of your Geokret on a map, and people can leave stories of what they've been through in the log! Cute, right?

While geocaching tends to slow down during the winter months—with fewer boots on the trails and some caches even tucked away under the snow—this "off-season" is actually the perfect time to start a project. You can spend the cold evenings crafting your Geokrety so they are ready to hit the wild as soon as the spring thaw begins!

Read all about them here: https://geokrety.org/en/help#about

Of course, they are fully compatible with opencaching.nl! https://wiki.opencaching.nl/index.php/Loggen_van_Geokrets

Are you considering making some of your own to leave in the geocaches you find?

The word GeoKrety comes from Greek geo ('earth') and Polish krety ('moles')... So it's plural! One GeoKret, two GeoKrety! They pop up everywhere, sometimes in unexpected places... And they're just cute, of course.

What's the cutest trackable you have ever seen? Any plans on making a cute GeoKret yourself? (We suggest a cute mole with a shovel! Adorable!)

We would like to welcome the latest Opencaching ally to the Fediverse: GeoKrety.org! @geokrety (https://mastodon.nl/@geokrety@opencaching.earth). The team behind Opencaching.nl have long contributed to translating their website and have already created a number of GeoKrety themselves! 

GeoKrety are trackable items—books, coins, small toys or even pets and humans. Create one and you can see who found one and what places they've visited. You can also give them a mission, so if you have a small toy of a cook, you can ask people to take their picture with as many pies as possible before dropping them off in another cache!

Have you ever found a trackable? Are you considering making one yourself?

Hello #Fediverse! This is the official account for GeoKrety.org, the free and open-source alternative for trackable items to leave in geocaches. Trackables can be anything: small toys, books, coins or even pets and humans!

You can then see what places your trackable visits, the distance it's travelled and quite some other stats. Follow us for some nice GeoKrety highlights and other tips!

We are grateful to @oc for allowing us to join their instance!
