Expedition

I checked the coordinates the evening before and was like "wohoo, in walking distance" (about 2km) and then even like "wohoo, I have spare time in the afternoon"

The plan was clear and after returning home in the afternoon the weather was even better than I could have hoped after the last days of nearly non-stop-snowing, the sky was partly blue and even the sun could be seen from time to time. Perfect weather for a walk outside in the snow.

So after a quick grabbing of electronic devices and changing clothes I went out, walked through some lovely forest and fields, while I took lots of photos, until my satnav said "Sie haben ihr Ziel erreicht" what means "You have reached your destination" and enjoyed the nice view I had from there.

Pictures talk for themselves (they are all a bit dark, my cam is shitty)

I claim the walking geohash and the frozen geohash achievement. I have no real proof for both, but the pictures might show, that I must have walked, and there is lots of snow on them. The thermometer at home showed about -7°C.

Going down into the forest. I followed the hiking trail number "4" for most of the time.
A frozen pond in the forest.
Fallen trees, below a small stream.
The same stream making its way through the snow.
There were some animals before me.
Another pond. My region is famous for them, containing delicious carps.
My satnav showed this as a street to drive on. Very funny.
Coordinates reached. (yeah it’s not that good proof, but hopefully enough)
My hascot and the setting sun. It needs a name yet, maybe he will become "Fjodor".
Internet was here!
