Plans
My first ever try. The place is located near a marked hiking trail. So i have planned to visit more than just the point.
Expedition
Found a lot of nettles (walking in shorts) and other hostile vegetation.
I somehow miscalculated my trip time and arrived there at dusk. Made my way through a strip of a corn field, only later discovering it could be easily walked around. Reached the destination around 20:04 local time (i definitely was within 3.5 m radius from the coordinates, possibly closer). Had to walk over 6 km more in the darkness to get back to my car, and this still was a shortened route!
The 39 km drive took about 45 minutes. The whole walking trip was about 16 km done in 3 hours 15 minutes.
Of course i forgot to take the spare camera battery, so had to take final photos with an ancient smartphone. Turned out not so good lighted just with the twilight. Have intact GPX traces though. Found some abandoned and damaged power supply PCB (probably coming from some car fridge) on my way back and took it with me.

Last photo took with the proper camera, the hash is somewhere behind that forest
The GPS logger with coordinates barely visible
Took a stick from nearby forest and used it as a pole to hang the poster, hopefully someone will find it interesting
