Location

The geohash is on a field near Walleshausen.

Who Went

TheOneRing - by public transport.

The Expedition

This geohash was not very far away, and easy to reach via train. I got up earlier than I planned and could therefore take one train earlier to Walleshausen. It took about 30min.

From the train station, my eTrex showed something like 2km as the bird flies. I took my time, walked along a street and enjoyed weather and landscape, respectively. I had to pass the geohash for the first time in a distance of about 1km, because in between there were not yet harvested fields. The street - later road, than farm track - made to larger curves and I had to pass the geohash again, when just 350m away.

Thereafter, there was a farm track which led directly to the geohash and I was lucky: the geohash itself was on a field, already harvested. It hadn't rained for days and the field was dry, not problems.

After taking the usual photographs, I had a small lunch and was thinking what to do next. Walking back to Walleshausen and taking a train back home, was an option but the weather was too nice and I wanted to walk more.

I decided to walk to the next train station (Geltendorf), which was approx. 10km from the geohash. I passed Kaltenberg, where once a year in July is a medieval festival (Kaltenberger Ritterturnier, sorry, only in German). At a bakery, I had a large cappucino to go for an energy boost. ;)

After 90min, I reached Geltendorf, which is a remarkable large (or better long) city, as I crossed it entirely from North to South to get to the train station.

After a while, I took the next train home, and had there another cup of coffee.
