I got out of the office at half past four and reached Heidelberg around five o'clock. I left some luggage there (what was why I had to go to Heidelberg today) and some talking I headed on to the Neckar and the Neckarradweg (Neckar cycling route), which I followed for the next 40 KM or so. This is a strange cycling path including some very busy roads, some forest paths and even some staircases. Nevertheless I reached Eberbach (respectively the small part of it that lies on the left side of the river Neckar) at a quarter to seven or so. From here I had to leave the river and go into the forest. At first I could follow some steep streets upwards in the village, including - once again - some staircases (and its not really fun to carry a 30 kg bull up some staircases after cycling 2 hours). But soon I left the houses and entered the forest. What looks like a driveable path on the map turned out to be some very small, very steep and very rugged forest pathes and so I decided to tie my bull and continue by foot.

What I didn't know was that the hash was still 2 KM away and 300 m higher. I planned to take the train at 19:43 from Eberbach, but I soon gave up that plan. I was walking as fast as I could, but I was thirsty and the way was still steep. But then I suddenly reached a source, and after I drank some water I felt much better and headed on. It was a nice walk high above the Neckar valley with pretty views down. 50 m from the hashpoint a nuzzled path branched of in the direction of the hash. Did anyone try a juggernaut-achievement? Well, not exactly, that path missed the hash by 15 m , but it helped me to reach the hash quite convenient.

I reached the hash at exactly 19:20, took some pictures, and couldn't resist to build a marker, as some big branches were lying around. Then I hurried back to my bull, what was much easier, now the paths go downwards. I rode back to the Nackar (now circumscribing the staircase) crossed it and reached Eberbachs trainstation at 8 o'clock. The next train started at 20:29, so I had half an hour which I used to buy some ice-cream and some food and had a nice 1 1/2 hour-trip back home.

Location

In the forest on a hill next to Eberbach.

Participants

DODOs most eastern hashpoint so far.

Plans

To ride there on my bull after work and have a short stop at spe stepdaughters spe husband.

Expedition

I got out of the office at half past four and reached Heidelberg around five o'clock. I left some luggage there (what was why I had to go to Heidelberg today) and some talking I headed on to the Neckar and the Neckarradweg (Neckar cycling route), which I followed for the next 40 KM or so. This is a strange cycling path including some very busy roads, some forest paths and even some staircases. Nevertheless I reached Eberbach (respectively the small part of it that lies on the left side of the river Neckar) at a quarter to seven or so. From here I had to leave the river and go into the forest. At first I could follow some steep streets upwards in the village, including - once again - some staircases (and its not really fun to carry a 30 kg bull up some staircases after cycling 2 hours). But soon I left the houses and entered the forest. What looks like a driveable path on the map turned out to be some very small, very steep and very rugged forest pathes and so I decided to tie my bull and continue by foot.

What I didn't know was that the hash was still 2 KM away and 300 m higher. I planned to take the train at 19:43 from Eberbach, but I soon gave up that plan. I was walking as fast as I could, but I was thirsty and the way was still steep. But then I suddenly reached a source, and after I drank some water I felt much better and headed on. It was a nice walk high above the Neckar valley with pretty views down. 50 m from the hashpoint a nuzzled path branched of in the direction of the hash. Did anyone try a juggernaut-achievement? Well, not exactly, that path missed the hash by 15 m , but it helped me to reach the hash quite convenient.

I reached the hash at exactly 19:20, took some pictures, and couldn't resist to build a marker, as some big branches were lying around. Then I hurried back to my bull, what was much easier, now the paths go downwards. I rode back to the Nackar (now circumscribing the staircase) crossed it and reached Eberbachs trainstation at 8 o'clock. The next train started at 20:29, so I had half an hour which I used to buy some ice-cream and some food and had a nice 1 1/2 hour-trip back home.
