Location
In the wetlands at Wümme river, near Bremen.
Participants
Plans
It's close to Bremen, so I'll do a bicycle tour there. Not sure if the geohash itself is reachable (according to OSM it's a swamp).
Expedition
Well, it's no swamp, it's wetlands; which doesn't make it much better.
The cycling tour itself was uneventful but rainy, and I quickly reached a point shortly behind Wümme bridge where I left the bike and continued by foot. As promised by OSM there was a path leading into the fields, which I followed to its end. From there I was able to go on by walking through the field, checking at each step whether the ground was sufficiently solid. There was still hope to reach the geohash this way - but only for maybe 50 meters. Finally, a ditch in the flooded field made clear that this territory belonged to the water rather than the land. Seeking for a crossing I walked along the ditch for some ten meters, but was blocked by the water joining from the field itself. A boat wouldn't have helped either; but maybe rubber boots, wooden planks, a tractor or a horse would have been successful here. Having brought neither of these, I finally gave up and went back to the bike.
Trying to enter the fields from another place up the road wasn't any more successful, so I turned around and drove home. Interestingly, the road where I left my bike is part of the D7 national cycling route on its way from Hamburg to Bremen, so at least I could enjoy excellent cycle ways on my way back home.
