Location

A field on hilly terrain, near some burial mounds and two abandoned chalk quarries

Participants

Plans

Take the train from Ercanar's home to Sassnitz-Lancken, then walk to the hash. Go to Sagard, then ride home. Boring, but what did you expect for our first hash?

Expedition

As the hash required only a small amount of physical effort, we equipped ourselves with just one backpack containing water and some fruits.

During the train ride to Lancken, we were not discovered by a conductor and thus could save some cash (tickets would have to be bought on the train, as there is no vending machine at our local train stop).

From Lancken, it was only a 4 km walk to the hash, which was only slightly complicated by the hilly terrain. To reach the hash, we followed nearby dirt paths until we got to the closest point at ~200 m distance. From here, we just crossed the field, utilizing existing tracks left by tractors.

After some photos, we returned to the path and visited the old chalk quarries, one of which seems to have been converted to a bike racing track. We also found large, dry thistles and got very excited about the sounds their dry needles make. This contributed to us inadvertently missing the next train home.

On our way to the train station in Sagard, we found a black cat. It was immediately friendly and lead us to an abandoned building and the imposing "Paltrockmühle" (Paltrok mill). The cat was obviously a quest giver, but we could sadly not complete its demands since we didn't feel like missing another train.
