Plans

I wanted to travel to Osnabrück by train and to Georgsmarienhütte by bus, then I wanted to make a long walk through the village, walking to the hash, waiting until hash o'clock and returning on the shortest way home.

Expedition

Traveling from Kassel to Osnabrück usually goes from Kassel to Warburg to Münster to Osnabrück. But at Warburg I noticed, that the Schienenersatzverkehr for the trains of the Eurobahn still happened and I decided to travel via Schwerte. I arrived at Münster an hour late, but that's the game. At the Münster station I was told that there is another Schienenersatzverkehr between Münster and Osnabrück. I looked for its bus stop and found it, and the timetable told me that there should be buses to Lengerich every hour and, juchuu, a direct bus to Osnabrück after 45 minutes. I stood there and waited for the buses, but there were no buses. Ok, buses for a Schienenersatzverkehr can be late and I waited some time longer. Then a man passed by and told me, that there was no Schienenersatzverkehr, the trains from Münster to Osnabrück would run regularly. I went back to the station and found a train, but this train ran only to Lengerich and the Schienenersatzverkehr started there!. With this longer travel I had no time for a walk through Georgsmarienhütte and took a bus directly to the hash.

At the hash area there was now a construction site and I was not sure, which bush was the bush of the hash, but there was a rest of a bush and I thought this was it. I waited until hash o'clock and the next bus was the last one in this area, so didn't wait there. From Osnabrück to Kassel I took the trains via Hannover and Göttingen, which ran without delay.
