Content and target audience
Geocaching Magazin is primarily aimed at active operators of this sport. In addition to editorial contributions such as travel reports and route descriptions, it also includes presentations and independent tests of relevant products, pieces of equipment, devices and utensils, as well as tutorials and workshops on supporting software and smartphone applications. Each issue has a focus that covers a specific geographic region. The freelance writers and photographers are all professional journalists who practice geocaching themselves as a leisure activity. Geocaching Magazin is delivered to other European countries besides Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
