Location

The edge between a wood and a meadow behind Miebach, near Kürten.

Plans

According to the map the hash was on a meadow near some wood behind the small village Miebach, near the city Kürten. My plan was to park at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse nearby and walk in northwest direction to the hash.

Expedition

Driving to Miebach was unspectacular, there were not even danger signs as on my trip before. As planned, I could park my car at the top of the curving street, about 250 m away from the hash. The temperature was at 8°C.

Going around Miebach

Alas, there was no way west or north to pass the houses which surrounded me. So I had to walk away from the hash to the east, looking for a opportunity to get behind them. But then I found a small path leading to the north, only to be used by tractors and livestock. I followed it until the fences ended. Between to of them, there was a meadow space which a small wood behind it. Beyond that wood was the hashpoint. So I crossed the meadow and entered the wooded area. At first it was very easy to walk in, but not 100 m further there were tendrils everywhere, rising higher as myself eventually. As I was nearly through, I discovered fences before me and left of me - just in the direction I had to go. So I went back but left the small wood at the northern side - only to find myself on the path again. It had made a curve.

So I just followed the path along and it lead me around this Dornröschen-(Sleeping Beauty)-like wood to the meadow I had looked for. Plain and simple. The hash was just before another, slightly larger, wood area and it jumped to the border while I was watching it. Just there I left a poster - on a living tree so I used no drawing pin but two small flexible branches.

On my way back to the car I tried the way south because I already had circumvented half the village searching for the hash. Even coming from the wood side there was no shortcut: I had to avoid all the gardens, walking to the Wipperfürther Strasse and from there back to the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse.

Later at home, I found several scratches on my thighs resulting from the thorns of the tendrils, and some of the thorns still stuck in the textile of the jeans.
