Expedition: The hashpoint was about 1 km from the [http://www.mpi-hd.mpg.de/mpi/en/start/ ''Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics''] (where I've been several times) and also not far from one of my favorite running tracks. The weather was nice, so I put on my running gear and started. It was a fun run, but I had to take a minor detour from my planned route. I reached the footpath from where I had to go through the woods after about 50 minutes. Then I spent 20 minutes looking for the exact spot, using the configuration of trees and other landscape elements for orientation. I think I located the hashpoint with an accuracy of 5 m.

Location

Today's hashpoint is located in the Odenwald, near Heidelberg, at an altitude of 462 m.

Expedition

ilpadre

Planning: Again, the hashpoint is reachable by foot, though it will be more difficult this time. A footpath through the woods is about 40 m away from the hashpoint. I don't own a GPS device, but I'm confident that I’ll find the spot.

Expedition: The hashpoint was about 1 km from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (where I've been several times) and also not far from one of my favorite running tracks. The weather was nice, so I put on my running gear and started. It was a fun run, but I had to take a minor detour from my planned route. I reached the footpath from where I had to go through the woods after about 50 minutes. Then I spent 20 minutes looking for the exact spot, using the configuration of trees and other landscape elements for orientation. I think I located the hashpoint with an accuracy of 5 m.
