Location

Today's hashpoint is located about 400 m South of Heidelberg's tourist-attracting Hauptstraße. It is the third hashpoint to fall within Heidelberg city limits in just one week, all within a radius of less than 3 km (see also 2008-10-26 49 8 and 2008-10-22 49 8). Chances of this happening are about 1:3500 for this graticule.

Planning: This will be a Déjà Vu Geohash for me.
Proof: The hashpoint is right next to a footpath I've been on before:

The following two pictures were taken exactly one month ago, at 14:36 and 15:26. The first was taken next to the Riesensteinpfad, the second standing before the Friedrich-Ebert-Platz. The only footpath connecting those places is the one with the hashpoint next to it.

  Bonus picture: Hashmark for tomorrow, a beautiful piece of craftsmanship

Expedition: By bike to the Friedrich-Ebert-Platz, then a 20 minute walk. Ein Kinderspiel (German for "easy as π").
