Where can you find the most favourites in Germany?

Last weeks I showed the number of caches and number of founds. But I prefer quality over quantity. Last week we've seen caches with a large number of finds don't have to be high quality caches. This week I try a different metric for quality: Favourites. 

So this week I show you the number of favourites per square kilometre. Off course areas with many geoaches are also areas where many favourites are given. But there are differences with last weeks maps.

Despite the fact that Hamburg is only placed in fifth position with regards to the number of caches, it's this week's number one with more than five hundred favourites per square kilometre. The number two in number of caches, Berlin, is here also number two with just under five hundered caches.

On the third place we find the first non urban area. The caches from die Helden and their friends have given the the area between Lotsch and Burstadt more than four hundreds and sixty favourites per square kilometres.

Then again two urban areas. Fourth place for Dresden with just over four hundreds favourites. Hanover has the fifth place with over three hundreds and thirty. At last a compliment for Hotbina, with two hundreds and  seventy five favourites per square kilometre, their caches put the small town of Wachtendonk in sixth position on this list.

Where can you find the most caches in Germany?

To get an overview of where to cache, maps can be a handy tool. But when planning for a larger area the maps of geocaching.com tends to be overcrowded with geocache icons. I try a different approach. With the help of heat maps, I try to find out where the most interesting caches can be found. This maps shows where the most geocaches per square kilometre.

As expected the most geocaches can be found in Urban areas.

With more than nine geocaches per square km Dresden has the highest concentration of geocaches in Germany. Followed by Berlin with seven and a half. Hanover has a little more than seven caches per square kilometre.

Fourth place is for Freigericht near Frankfurt with almost six and a half. Hamburg and Leipzig both have six and a quarter geocaches per square kilometre.
