Location
In a small forest at the shore of the Ammersee lake, between Utting and Dießen.
Participants
The_T-Man, DerFlob, Scherzkeks, her father, her neighbor Locationmaster and his mother
Plans
Planning to go there by train and arrive at shortly past 2 p.m.
Expedition
Scherzkeks, her father, her neighbor Locationmaster who, by the way, is new to geohashing, his mother, and The_T-Man started at around noon by taking the subway to München central station where they met DerFlob. From there on, they took a regional train service to Geltendorf, a small village outside of München. Although their journey was slowed down by technical difficulties with the train's doors, their follow-up train was kind enough to wait there. The small diesel railcoach then took the group to Riederau, a very small settlement at the shore of the Ammersee, one of the three large lakes associated with Munich. It was one of the first rather warm spring days with temperatures up to 20°C and some sunshine at and before noon. They continued into a impressive broad-leaved forest that was just starting to awake from its wintery slumber. The paths were lined with huge amounts of snowdrops throughout the forest. To reach the hashpoint, our group had to cross the railroad tracks and one or to small streams. The point was located about 300 metres away from their original path. Luckily, the area of the hashpoint was not under special protection and so access was possible, as opposed to the part of the forest between the hiking path and the lakeshore.
The group decided to continue N until Utting, the next train stop in that direction. After they left the forest, their path led them through mostly settled areas with some beautiful glimpses at the lake. At about 4 p.m., they took a train back to München.
Photos
First, they took the subway
Then a regional train service from the Deutsche Bahn
And then the Bayerische RegionalBahn (not the "Be Right Back", unfortunately)
Last, but not least, another train back to München
The geohashers making their way through the woods
There were lots of little streams in this forest
DerFlob (left) and Locationmaster crossing... well, something
The drag-alongs catching up
Some snowdrops along the way
Is this possibly the hashpoint?
Yes, it is!
This time, my GPS could not be convinced to show a remaining distance of less than about one metre
The coordinates
From left to right: Scherzkeks' father, Locationmaster's mum, Locationmaster, DerFlob, The_T-Man and Scherzkeks
More snowdrops
The_T-Man conquering a mighty river
More snowdrop impressions
Lots of bear's garlic - very powerful smell at the place!
More snowdrops
Some other flowers announcing the oncoming spring
More snowdrops
Did I mention there were lots of snowdrops?
The railroad track was very straight and good to view in both directions at the places we had to cross it
A bee at work
In German, this butterfly is called Kleiner Fuchs, meaning "small fox", but there seems to be no english name for it
The view to the South at the lakeshore
The geohashers at the lakeshore
The view North
Fortunately only mammal trails, no sign of Velociraptors
Now what could we possibly do with this pile of wood and that suspicious-looking canister next to it?
