Plans
DODO: Another hash in the Rhine Valley but we're getting closer to the edge. And it is close enough to today's hash, so I can walk there without usig a train, and that's just what I Plan to do.
It's a 25 kilometers walk and I hope to arrive around 4.
Q-Owla and Q-Owl: We planned to find some geocaches and noticed, that todays gh was not far from us. And it did not lie on the military area but between it and the B426. So we decided to go for it.
Expedition
Q-Owla and Q-Owl
We drove near the hashpoint and had a little bit to dance (under clouds and trees) until we got near enough to it. We waited a while if Dodo might arrive and this time we left a mark for him.
Sorry, that we did not meet each other. But you are invited for a cup of coffee, lunch or what ever you like at our home.
Later we found about 10 geocaches (www.geaocaching.com and www.opencaching.de) near Ober-Ramstadt.
DODO
This is part four of this years hash-tour. Here you find the parts three and five.
The hash god was nice to me. It was still another point in the rhine valley, and I didn't get any mountains, but at least todays hash was close enough to the one yesterday, that I could walk all the way again.
Todays walk seemed to have some recurrent themes: paths and streets, live and death, freedom and imprissonment.

Just when I've left Groß-Gerau I had to cross the autobahn. After that I followed it for a while. Yes, the small green strip next to the asphalt is my path. |
I had to cross an Autobahn for five more times today:
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| In the middle of the forest between Griesheim and Darmstadt | On a road before I reached Tann | South of Darmstadt near the Heimstätten-Siedlung | To get from Pfungstadt to Eberstadt and the hash | To get back from the hash to Pfungstadt. |
 |
 |
But first I had to walk through some fields and I photographed my first animals for today, some wild geese. A short time later I reached the forest (that I will almost only leave to cross an Autobahn). |
 |
 |
Some more paths and a special tree with a name |
 |
 |
Then I came along some prisons. One for people and one - strange enough - for a dromedary. |
| Traces of a free animal | working animals (bees) | and a free - but death - animal |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
I don't know if this is another prison or a military are, but on the second picture you see the remaining of the gibbet of Pfungstadt |
 |
 |
Finally I reached the hash next to this busy road. |
 |
 |
I found the Owl's mark and left my own. |
 |
 |
I'm on the outside of this fence. A soldier came along on the inside but didn't take care of me. |
 |
 |
I made a little detour in Pfungstadt to see the Villa Büchner, but it isn't the house of the famous romantic author but of a local entrepreneur. A short time later I came along this former mill. |
 |
 |
And Pfundstadt proofs humor: a fountain called entrance for the major. A short smile later I arrived at the hotel. |
