Location

On the edge of a woodland between several small villages. Abandoned cottages as direct neighbors.

Participants

Expedition

Realized I had a saturday off of house renovation and decided to use the spare time to go on a hike. After checking the available geohashes for the weekend, sundays geohash looked very promising. Packed up my stuff and hiked through the 'reichswald'. Started a bit late and arrived at the coordinates one hour before dawn. After a bit of investigation luckily it turned out that the nearby cottages are abandoned. Nevertheless the location sadly has its disadvantages for camping:

Nearby heavy frequented road
Both villages within the canyon have churches which will ring traditionally every 15 minutes
Edge of the woodland seems to have been suffered from several storms, many trees are not that straight, spotted many 'Witwenmacher'. Don't camp there! (at least if there's the smallest amount of breeze, the slightest possibility of a thunderstorm or anything else which might cause jackstraws)

(--) wouldn't recommend

Set up camp choosen very carefully in order to not suffer from sudden death, had something for dinner and awaited the geohash to reach in at midnight (meh, no documentation - who could have known that there are awards for that). Slept surprisingly well, got up, left a hidden message and went straight through the woods to a point where OpenStreetMap showed a cave - I love caves! - found it. Turns out the whole 'Brunngraben' Canyon, including the cave which is more like a small piece of washed out sandstone, is one of those places nature has done its best.

(++) would recommend

Found my way back across the 'Nuschelberg' and later the 'Reichswald' in an incredible non stop hike and arrived at home short before noon.

Photos

Well... App seems to have a few difficulties if there's no internet
Camping geohash achievement! (at least if I would have taken an arrival proof)
