Location

A small plantation in a marsh area near the Hölzer See. Hölzer See is a small lake used as a fishing bassin near Magstadt, Germany.

Participants

Lars Vegas visited the place in the evening. Nobody seeemed to be there during the day.

Plans

I received my first Garmin yesterday and planned to make a trip with the kids in the afternoon after a trip to a wildlife park. --Lars Vegas

Expedition

Of course the trip to the wildlife park took longer than expected, but it was worth every minute. However, it was too late for them to participate. So after the kids went to bed (20:00 CEST) I took the car and drove to the parking lot near the Hölzer See. There's a small pub (Fischerhütte am Hölzer See) but nobody was there anymore. The place is close to a highway but in the middle of the forest, so it's more of a daytime attraction.

At the lake, a graveled footpath lead into the woods. After approx. 100m the path wasn't graveled anymore but clearly visible. I was still fighting a little bit with my brand new Garmin eTrex 10 (my first GPS device at all) but knew the way more or less from the map. About 150 before the hashpoint I had to leave the path and make my way through marshland. Fortunately that area was already quite dry with only sporadic ditches to cross.
