Expedition

I took train to Mulhouse, then cycled along the Rhône-Rhine Canal toward Basel. After 10 kilometers, I left my bicycle attached to a tree by the side of the cycle path, entered the Hardt forest and walked 200m to the geohash.

The coordinates were located somewhere between a couple of nondescript trees. After recording proof, I cycled to Hombourg to see whether there was anything worth noting. Apparently, someone decided to build a farm disguised as fake medieval castle during the 1920s. They also have a genuine non-medieval castle that serves as a restaurant, and a golf course, but I didn't see those.

I returned on the cycle path and cycled to Saint-Louis to take a train back home.
