Location
The hash lay onto Mount Dragon, a former waste deposit mount, near Göttingen-Geismar.

Plans
The area didn't look very promising. It looked thorny with trees with thorns or blackcurrent strings. But I made a try.
Expedition
Easy traveling to Geismar and a walk onto the mount. Everything didn't look promising. Thickets with small trees. Thorny bushes and trees. Walking a path near the ridge of the mountain I found the place, where it looked best to reach the hash, but from this side all looked like the area. Thorns and strings. I gave the hash a miss. Then I walked further and around and just opposite the hash from the other way there was again a thicket. And I walked further and I found an entry! But the open space was a swamp. I walked along the trees, letting the thorns scratching my parka and found an open hill with the hash, some meters beyond the ridge. I danced around to get the best view. Then I climbed to the ridge for a look around and there I saw a small piece of green and I thought, wearing a parka which prevented me from a bite of a Rottweiler, this parka would prevent me against the thorns. I broke through and stood just at the same place, where I first decided not to go.
