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.

Why are the most found caches not the most interesting?

Combining the data from the previous two weeks we find the area's where caches have the most founds. If you think that are also the most interesting caches, your are in for a surprise.

The area with the most logs per cache is Walsleben. There you find two autobahn caches: Walsleben - West and Walsleben - Ost, they have more than four thousand log each and not many other caches in the neighbourhood. Giving this area an average of more than 1350 found logs per cache.

If you've read the two previous post, you might have guessed Hamburg will end up high in this list, and you are correct. It has the second position with an average of 1160 found logs  per cache.

The many caches in Borken in Wernigerode give it's it third place with almost 1140 logs per cache. Positions number four and five are for Neuzelle and Goldelund. The only two other area's that have more than one thousand logs per cache. Both areas have a geotrail that attracts many logs. Schlaubetal- Rundherum in Neuzelle and Zwischen den Meeren near Goldelund.


You probably know with more than 35 thousand founds Lego - einer ist zuviel is Germany's most found geocache. But since there are many caches in Berlin with not many founds, the average number of founds in Berlin is so low, it doesn't appear in the top ten.
