The Der Weg zum Führerschein 🚘 geocache (GC8NKE4) applies to geocachers what Switzerland imposes on its future drivers: no steering wheel without an exam. Placed in 2020, it follows the Swiss licence process - theory test, road safety course, practical exam - and you have to see it through to the end to have any hope of signing the logbook.
It all starts in front of a screen: a link on the cache page opens a questionnaire of thirty traffic questions, multiple choice, one right answer each time. The geochecker acts as examiner, and whoever passes the exam receives the final coordinates. Then comes the practical test, in the field: the container only opens by carefully pulling or tipping a lever. Inside wait the logbook, a stamp and small geocaching driving licences.
The official blog made it its geocache of the week in July 2024, then kept it among its favourites of the year. It collects favourite points, and the same word keeps coming back in the logs: ingenious.
