Expedition

2014-08-13 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 4346.jpg I left home at 10:30 and started to hitchhike at 11:00. After 30 minutes a car stopped and with this car I got a lift direct to Hardegsen, where I arrived at 12:00. And I started for the mountain. After 30 minutes of walk I found a shelter, from where I had a very good view to the city of Hardegsen.

Where I thought to find an old way to the hash. But between the forest and the field there was no way. So I left the ways and stepped into the forest. For the first meters I found several times something like a way. I followed it where I could.

This way was an old and very muddy way, but it had ditch and a dyke besides it. And on the dyke it was easy to follow the way.

And while I thought about the more way, I found three different ways in the forest, all looking more like a valley than a forest way. And my GPS told me, that the hash was more to the right. So I left the way and started to walk through the pathless forest. Maybe 200 meters later I was stopped by a deep valley, where I walked to the right again uphill. There I found some small forest paths, a tractor path, a path to a hunting seat, another path to an unknown destination and suddenly I was on a normal forest way, near to the hash.

2014-08-13 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 4417.jpg 2014-08-13 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 4418.jpg A tree stood on the hash. I wrote the mark on it.

For my way home I started to hitchhike at 15:15 and with a car, a walk and another car I arrived at Kassel at 17:15.
