Before hiding or seeking geocaches, please, check, if the geocache is located within a protected area. For example, in many areas it is forbidden to leave the tracks. So, a geocache needs to be accessible just next to the track. Additionally, geocaches may not be placed in tree hollows, caves or nests. 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 download.
