Where are the most favorite caches by logs in The Netherlands?

Last week we looked at the areas in the Netherlands where caches get on average the most favourites. It's logical that caches that get found more, also get more favourites. So this gives easy caches and caches in areas with many geocachers an advantage. This week I look at in which areas where we look at where are caches getting the most favourites per log.

The  top area with almost 15% is Broek between Sneek and Joure. With many caches of xNTM-27xx contributing to this result. Congratulations.

Just as last week the Beekbergen near Apeldoorn comes in second place with 12.5%. Last week number one is now in third position. The area of Malden near Nijmegen collects 12.4% favourites. A shout out to Geo Chaos and remralcache for their great caches.


Last weeks number five has gained one position. The caches near Helmond collect 11% favourites. Well done djpebe. In fifth place also with 11% is Peest near Assen. Where klinki creates high rated caches.

Where are the most favorite caches in The Netherlands?

Last week we saw that in The Netherlands on average caches are rewarded with almost thirty favourites. This week I show you where the caches with the most favourites can be found.

The map below combines two statistics the number of caches determines the opacity, where the areas that are the most transparent have the fewest caches and the most opaque ones the most. The average number of favourites sets the hue. The hottest cache area, those with the most favourites are coloured red. Blue for the area with the least caches and green is in between.

The top area for favourites with almost one hundred and eighty favourites per cache is Malden near Nijmegen. Many caches by remralcache make this happen.

Near Apeldoorn there are two hot spots. One with almost one hundred and ten in Uchelen. Another one in Beekbergen with almost one hunderd favoures per cache. In the first area we see many high rated caches by Geo Chaos and in the second by Josvstaalduinen.

Next is Hippolytushoef where De Bosmannetjes have created many interesting caches giving this area an average of almost eighty favourites per cache. The caches of djpebe helped Helmond to be in the fifth place with just under sixty favourites per cache.

What's the most favourite geocaching country?

I'm not wondering in what country the most favourites are given. That is bound to be the country with the most caches: The United States has accumulated almost four hundred thousands favourites with overr one million caches.

When we look to the number of favourites per cache. We get the extreme results for countries with very few caches. The nine caches of Vatican City have accumulated almost three thousand favourites. We see also big numbers for Gibraltar, Sint Maarten, San Marino, Lichtenstein and Monaco.

At the other side, there's only one cache in Eritrea and Guinea-Bissau both have not gotten a favourite yet, and neither have the nine caches in Comoros.

When we look at only countries with a decent number of caches, where I define a decent number as at least ten thousands caches. The following list appears:

Netherlands	29.3
Czechia	20.5
Germany	16.9
Belgium	16.8
Switzerland	16.7
Austria	13.2
Finland	11.3
Denmark	10.5
Slovakia	7.8
Portugal	7.2
Ireland	6.8
United Kingdom	6.1
Sweden	6.0
Norway	5.0
Australia	4.7
New Zealand	4.4
Spain	4.2
France	4.0
Italy	3.9
United States	3.8
Canada	3.4
South Africa	3.0
Poland	2.5
Japan	1.0

The country with the most favourites is The Netherlands with an average of almost thirty favourites per cache. Followed by Czechia with more than twenty. Runners up are Germany, Belgium and Switzerland with almost seventeen favourites per cache.

The glorious winner of the absolute numbers end in the bottom five, only leaving behind Canada, South Africa, Poland and Japan.

The most average favourite caches In Germany

Last week we saw that places with a large number of caches (cities) also accumulate many favourites. I wonder what the result is when we divide the number of favourites in an area by then number of caches in that area. That will give us the average number of favourites for a cache in that area. In the map below we can see where caches get many favourites.

As expected with the results from last week in mind the top result are Einhausen, between Lorsch and Bürstadt, and Wachtendonk. Both places manage to receive almost two hundreds favourites per cache. Again a my congratulations and thanks for creating great caches to die Helden and Hotbina.


The third position with more than seventy favourites per cache is for the city of Hamburg. Quite an accomplishment since cities are also hosts to many uninteresting micro's. With just over sixty favourites per cache is Waldsolms, where finkenpiraten have created high rated caches.

Also just over sixty favourites per cache can be found in Rodgau and also in Friedrichsdorf. High rated caches in the first town are created by Plotino in the second one by TCapitano.
