In Kooperation mit „Umweltlernen in Frankfurt am Main e.V.“ führten die Teilnehmer der AG Explore Frankfurt am 28.02.2013 und 04.03.2013 ein Geocaching-Projekt durch.
Am Donnerstag konnten die Schülerinnen und Schüler auf ihrer digitalen Schnitzeljagd mit GPS-Geräten den GrünGürtel erkunden. Sie erfuhren viel über den GrünGürtel und den Alten Flugplatz in Bonames-Kalbach.

Am Montag erkundeten sie dann die Innenstadt Frankfurts. Die Schnitzeljagt führte sie von der Konstablerwache zur Hauptwache, der Friedberger Anlage (an der ehemaligen Synagoge) und der schönen Aussicht zum Endziel am Römerberg.

Am Ende empfing uns Bildungsdezernentin Sarah Sorge am Römer. Frau Sorge ließ sich dann von den Schülerinnen und Schülern zum Ziel-Cache (N 50° 06.625‘ E 008° 40.934‘) führen.

Our geocaching project

On Monday the 4th March we did a geocaching project. It was a treasure hunt. Every group got a GPS device and it helped us to find the right direction. Our team leaders gave us coordinates to type into the device. On its screen there was an arrow that showed us the way to go.

When we reached the coordinates there was a box with a hint for the next cache. On our way we explored the GrünGürtel, the old airfield “Alter Flugplatz” in Bonames and many parts of the city centre.

After we had found all the caches we met Mrs. Sarah Sorge, who is head of the department for education in Frankfurt. There we had to speak German. Mrs. Sorge asked us what we had done and seen on the day. Then she gave us the coordinates for the treasure. When we found the treasure we found out that it was a cake. We went into the Römer and ate it.

There were some reporters who asked us for an interview. One of the interviews was on TV that evening and can be seen here:

After that we went back to our school. It was a great day.
