The Opencaching websites identify protected areas by using the geocache's coordinates as entered by the geocache's owner. If the coordinates of a geocache listing are not the real location of the geocache, then the displayed information on a protected area may be wrong or missing. The same counts on any stage or final of a multi geocache. They could even be located in different protected areas. | |||
You can manually check if a geocache is located within a protected area by consulting the online map of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation at: | |||

== Behaviour within protected areas == | |||
Before hiding or seeking geocaches, please check if the geocache is located within a protected area and find out about the instructions and restrictions. 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. | |||
