Plans

Take train to Röntgental (interesting name, especially since the Buch area is kinda known for medical facilities), walk mostly through nature to location. Check a few gaps in OpenStreetMap. Succeed at first attempted Geohash.

Expedition

Basically went as planned. The weather was cold but nice, the first day with proper snow this year! The area of the nature park is nice, with a nice mix of open areas and forest. Lots of info signs about the area. As a surprise, around the target location there is a network of sculpture paths: Steine Ohne Grenzen – Stones without Borders, which have been created at events over multiple years. This hasn't been mapped on OSM at all, and is something to return to with more time and more suitable weather to experience and document in more detail. Will need some data collecting since a bunch of the older signs have already deteriorated and are unreadable, and a lot of the smaller/flatter sculptures were covered in snow. The hash location was just off the path, a few meters from the nearest sculptures. A bit in the distance there was a group of kindergardeners sledding down a small embankment, I guess here you have to take whatever hill-like place you can find :D
