Expedition Report

Getting to the coordinates was easy. I took a train to Weinheim, there I got into the Weschnitztalbahn (I used it for the first time), which runs through a few tunnels and over some bridges and is certainly one of the more beautiful railway lines I've travelled in that region.

In Rimbach, I quickly found the coordinates after a 2 km walk through residential roads and a slight detour to partly follow a hiking trail. The sky was clear and I had sunshine all the time, but it came at the price of absolutely no wind at all, so I struggled half an hour to fly a kite at the coordinates and eventually gave up, getting on my way back to the station (this time on a more direct way). I left Rimbach at 14:43 and returned to Heidelberg at 15:39. I had plans later that evening, so I wanted to be back in Heidelberg before 16:00 - sorry, Fivetonsofflax!

  Heidelberg station - they plan to start building a south entrance before the end of the year (excellent candidate for a revisit!).

Fun and easy expedition. I went there pretty much the same way as Ilpadre, with the exception that I didn't return to Rimbach after having reached the hashpoint but walked to the station of Zotzenbach. Pleasant landscape, perfect weather, lots of apple trees and blackberries. Had cookies at hashpoint.

  My bike is somewhere in there
