Location

Close to the Buschmühle, near Stolpen

Participants

User:SuperGrobi, User:Etodo

Plans

This was our first Geohash. We figured this spot was easy enough to try out

Expedition

We took the train to Großharthau and then hiked to the location. On our way, we discovered some rather lovely places alongside the stream Wesenitz (right in the spirit of Geohashing). We also met a grumpy local (Still in the spirit of Geohashing, I guess). We found that the location was conveniently placed just on the side of a hiking path. After a bit of back and forth, we decided we were close enough and took our winning photo, including our Stupid Grin®. We also created a temporary proof of our presence. We then continued walking to Stolpen, past a run-down factory, a mysterious metal orb and a house which, if photographed from the right angle and closely cropped, looks like it could be in Tuscany. Because we had a bit of time left in Stolpen before our bus back home would arrive, we took a quick look at the historic town centre, which has three out of the following four things: A water fountain, a monument to basalt, tons of listed buildings, a usable mobile data connection
