Plans

Go there ~24km by bike and have a good time.

This hash was really close (~200m) to a route I have taken hundreds of times in the last 20 years so it was well known terrain. Nonetheless I had no plans what to do and what to experience on that trip.


Expedition

It started really bad with an unwanted interaction with german authorities that wanted me to not ride my bike (even though it was walking pace) in a no-bike-zone and instead use the street where cars pass bikes really close with 50 km/h and faster and don't pay attention to bikers. But it is what it is and this is not the right platform to discuss german authorities and traffic regulations and how reasonable they are.

A few kilometers closer to the hash I stopped at a nice small beach and I'm a simple man: I see water, I put my feet in. A little later I went for the hash. It was pretty easy to find and I had a nice sunset there. After a rather chilled ride to the hash I chose an athletic approach for the way back and had some fun putting everything I had into my legs.
