For example, in many areas it is forbidden to leave the trails. So, a geocache needs to be accessible just next to the trail. The regulations can differ depending on the type of area and Federal State. A proven way to find the text of a law or regulation is the World Wide Web. Most authorities and ministries provide document downloads.
There are some more recommendations to preserve the environment:
- Do not hide a geocache in tree hollows, caves or nests.
- Clean up all your trash.
- Keep your dog on leash.
- Make no unnecessary noise.
- Do not make fire.
