Location

The hash is located on the Eibsee, a rather large mountain lake within of the Zugspitz mountain range, just below the highest peak in Germany.

Plans

The planning phase for this great expedition gained a lot of momentum and deserves its own page. Do not fear, nothing is lost; it is preserved in all of its greatness over at the other page.

Expedition report

Before the party of 9 partied

From Würzburg to München (Danatar, Srs0, Thepiguy)

Early.

With difficulty Danatar got up at 4:30 after 2 hours of sleep, but he nonetheless managed to meet thepiguy who was already waiting at the train station at 5:15. On the train Danatar tried to get some sleep, but the train seats are very uncomfortable to lie on so he didn't succeed. After 2 hours they arrived at Treuchtlingen and changed into a double decker train. From the upper floor the sight is slightly better than in a normal train and they could watch the beautiful landscape. They even saw 2 deer. At 9:30 the train arrived at München main station where ekorren was waiting for them directly at their platform.

thepiguy says...

Possibly my favourite expedition yet! I hope the pictures from the underwater camera turn out...

The crew from Regensburg (dawidi, Hans, Tomcat)

... who also came from quite far away.

All the way from Tübingen: Ekorren

... who even came from another state (BaWü)

It was a short night - if you can call that a night. More like almost no sleeping at all, as I was busy discussing, researching, preparing until deep into the night, and had to get up as early as 3 am. Left house a few minutes past four, and arrived at the station not really in time to go to an ATM first, or buy a ticket from a machine that accepts cards (they actually are slower). Luckily, I still had a prepaid Baden-Württemberg-Ticket, so I could just jump on the train and write the date into the right field.

Now, at Plochingen I changed to train for Ulm, to get the Unavoidable Public Transport Speed Racer Multihash first.

After having accomplished the task to not miss its tracks and thus also not miss the hash, the train went in for Ulm. I still needed to buy a Bayern-Ticket, so I took a short visit out of the station and found that the machines at the tramway station would sell me one that is both a good extension for my collection and payable with card, so saving me to find an ATM for the rest of the day, bought the ticket and caught a train to Augsburg and then to München. Shortly after my train arrived, Danatar and thepiguy should arrive from Würzburg, so I picked them up at their platform. We then found the others in the northers section of the station.

Two fellows from München (Baerenfell, zb)

... who almost appear to be couch potatoes, considering how far everyone else has traveled.

Baerenfell says...

Awesome Expedition with a lot of really nice and funny guys, nearly perfect weather and last, but not least a really cool spot. Also being one of the first to do an underwater geohash rules :) (proof to follow with full report).

And now I can put my hands on a huge lot of ribbons, YEEHAA!

Started the day with a final look at the planning page at about 9 am, packed my stuff and was on my way. The school I had to vote at, was just a few meters from home, so I stopped by and went did my civil duty (Claiming a "Democracy Geohash" for this). After that I cycled on to the Central Station to meet the others, which wasn't really complicated (everyone would recognize such a cool group | 2. Achievment today | Meet-up | all 8 ).

zb says...

First things first:

I know I sound like a hippie who has smoked his brains out when I say that this trip made me feel truly happy not only because the nature looked so nice, but -- even better -- because it was very fun to meet everyone else after having done a number of geohashes myself and even failed to meet dawidi once.

Koepfel, after today, your meetup graph will be in serious trouble if not completely FUBARed, but it's worth it because spending this great day with a group as nice and diverse was a big win. I mean it.

On to the report:

A preview of what was to be seen later this day.

I left the house around 8:30am and took a small detour to a nearby school house because it was election day for the European Parliament and the school is where I go to vote. A ribbon has even been suggested for this. While the school house itself was just as ugly as any German school house built in the seventies, it featured a nice painting next to one of its doors that must have been an indication about what was bound to happen later this day. See gallery below.

I stopped at a bakery in my neighborhood and rode my bike to the train station, where Srs0 had just arrived some minutes ago on his ICE train. When asking him, somewhat reluctantly, if he was, like, maybe on his way to, like, Garmisch, and stuff, he answered that yes, he was, so we introduced ourselves. He actually wasn't that hard to find because his right arm was of landmark quality with the cast he was wearing and he had an xkcd t-shirt. Despite the warning on the t-shirt, I hadn't stood back and he was nice enough to not try SCIENCE. We found another bakery and got him breakfast, including a Auszogne (meaning a one pulled apart) which is something like a Bavarian equivalent to a donut. Slightly later, everyone else showed up at the train station.

Some friends of mine were there, too, but they went on another train to another beautiful place in the mountains to celebrate a birthday. (Happy birthday, A.!)

From München to Eibsee

Some, like zb, were introduced to the hobby of geocaching by others, like Ekorren while we had time to kill until our train left.

The internet is over there.

Shortly after, we went along the very scenic tracks near Starnberger See, changed onto a bus in Tutzing because the electric wires above the train tracks were in the progress of being repaired further down the railroad line, making regular train traffic impossible. We decided to sit in the back of the bus, because we remembered from back when we were still using school buses that the back is where the cool people sit. We again got onto a train in Weilheim that took us to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. From the bus, we saw some very shiny new copper wires that had already been put up and, more importantly, some famous satellite dishes that were even shinier.

When you claim that you come from the internet, this exact village of dishes is indeed your hometown.

In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Ekorren was quick to negotiate our possibilities and fares for going up to Eibsee on the really cool train, the Zugspitzbahn. It has to be said that the lady at the ticket counter was very helpful towards our group that must have seemed unusual, even by standards set at places where many tourists and groups of crazy school kids travel through.

The reasons why the Zugspitzbahn is really cool are: (a) It has tracks narrower than regular trains, (b) some parts of the tracks are so steep that it needs racks in addition to the rails. Thus, it has all the technology necessary to (c) take you up to the very top of Germany's highest mountain, the name of which is proudly featured on the display on the side of the train. Cool, eh?

The group is all set for our trip up the mountain!

(d) The train also makes for a really great backdrop for a group picture, as is evidenced in the picture here and in the gallery below.

While we went uphill to Eibsee, thepiguy got serious about his plans to swim in the Eibsee. Everyone could tell because he produced diving equipment from his backpack. We kept telling him that the water would be really really cold. Our guess was < 10°C, which was wrong, as we would see shortly after.

He just kept saying that now was not the time to think about cold water. The time to think about cold water was not before he would actually be in the air, after jumping off the boat, right before impact, when it would already be too late anyway. He was seriously committed.

At/On/In the lake

After having walked to the lake, we were offered a full choice of different vessels for rent. This is the part where we left the solid ground and went to find the water geohash. This is also where we all thank thepiguy for paying for the three boats we took out onto the lake: Thank you, pi!

While we had expected the water temperature to be very, very cold, a sign next to the boat rental shed said it was warmer than expected: 17°C.

Two pedal boats and one row boat went to the spot that numerous GPS devices were pointing at. When the coordinates were reached, many different things were done to appropriately celebrate the success:

Calendar Girls!

Three humans and Murray the hashcot went swimming.

The three humans even went under water.

And they posed for a Calendar Girl Achievement.

Because the panic of a human body immersed in cold water causes some shouting, we heard amazing echoes from our location on the lake. Allegedly, one sound produced on the lake causes as many as seven echoes, but this is a detail we were not able to reproduce.

After we were back on the land, a walk was done on the South shore, along a smaller lake (Frillensee), overlooking the geohash location and leading to another geocache. Just in case we have not mentioned yet: The area was extremely beautiful.

We bought hashcards, went to a beer garden, walked to the bus stop, mailed the hashcards, stuffed a phone box and started our journey home.

From Eibsee to München

We were really, really lucking out with the weather. Thunder and rain didn't really start before we were in the bus and already on the way home.

Besides, it's always amazing how different the way back feels compared to the way to some place.

After the party of 9 parted

The internet was here. Already, before we were, and ever since the fifties!

From München to Würzburg

When the train arrived at München, thepiguy and srs0 got out first and ran to catch an ICE train which left three minutes later. (...)

From München, Danatar had two trains to choose from to get home: One at 20:25 which would arrive at Würzburg at 0:06 and one at 21:09 which would arrive at 0:56. He had already decided earlier to visit his displaced origin hashpoint in this graticule and that would take all the time until the second option, so he said goodbye to everyone and went to buy a Döner. Then he went on his displaced origin expedition (read here).

Danatar returned from his displaced origin and boarded the train towards home. At Nürnberg he had to wait almost one hour to change his train. The big rock festival Rock im Park had taken place this weekend and Danatar could pass the time watching drunk and tired people moving around zombie-like in the station. When his train finally left the seats next to him were filled with people in a good temper, so Danatar couldn't even get some sleep. His train arrived in Würzburg a few minutes late, shortly after 1 am.

München, by bike, in the rain

Baerenfell: Left the others at the station in Munich to take the bike home (about 15 minutes). It started raining after a few meters and pouring after a few more. I didn't see much anymore and got totally drenched, but finally finished this great day with another look at the geohashing page. zb, while taking a slightly different route home, also got seriously drenched.

From München to Tübingen

There isn't much to tell. After the group mostly parted, only the Regensburg people and me were left, and also left was some time. So I picked another geocache description of a cache that was supposed to be about 400 m from the station, and we set off to search for that one. Without success, this time. As I see now, the cache has been successlessly searched by other people during the last few days, so it is probably lost. Also, we got hit by heavy rain during the search.

Since it was now late enough that there was only one connection left for me, I went back the same way I had been coming, via Augsburg, Ulm and Plochingen. The train from Ulm was a bit late, which resulted in an upgrade of the unavoidable multihash so that it now also was a Speed Racer geohash. Surprisingly, after a sprint through all of the station, I still caught the RE at Plochingen and reached Tübingen at 0:25. Usually, if the train from Ulm is late (which it usually is), you have to wait for the next train to Tübingen. Which goes only a few minutes later, anyway.

-:The website of the Zugspitzbahn tells me that the Bayern-Ticket is o.k. on the rack railway from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Grainau, leaving only the last part (one station from Grainau to Eibsee) for which we'd have to get an extra ticket. It's in the FAQ section, I could find this part in German only. --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 07:36, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

-The Zugspitzbahn is a narrow gauge mountain railway which goes up to the highest peak of Germany. From the station of Grainau up it's running as a rack railway. Tickets to the peak are 42 EUR round trip, but tickets until Eibsee (which is already well into the rack railway part) are ''much'' cheaper, probably around 5 EUR one way.

-:The [http://www.zugspitze.de/main_en.php rack railway's website] is a major annoyance. I could find out that Bayern tickets are o.k. on the part from Garmisch to Grainau, but it seems impossible to find out how much the fare for the one station from Grainau to Eibsee is.

-Attention, all y'all: SEV! (I guess there ain't no good translation for words as truly German as Schienenersatzverkehr... but maybe ''shi#y exceptional vehicle'' counts?) There is construction work going on along the rail tracks between Tutzing and Weilheim. Trains do not run there and are substituted by buses. Please make sure you check the online schedules on DB's website because they take the extra buses into account! Please note that bikes are probably not an option because they may not be taken onto the buses (or only very few bikes may be allowed)! --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 20:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Shortly after my train arrived, Danatar and thepiguy should arrive from Würzburg, so I picked them up at their platform. We then found the others in the northers section of the station.
-:Yes, I've seen that, and decided against bringing my bike (which would be of no use anyway, because the BZB gets us right up to the lake). --[[User:Dawidi|dawidi]] 20:13, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
-::Kayaks or other large things may also be a major problem on SEV buses! --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 20:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
-There is an error in the DB timetable program. Some trains between München and Tutzing are shown with "Zug fällt aus" (train is cancelled). However, on the departure table of the respective station you see that there is another train marked "Zusatzzug/Ersatzzug" (additional train/replacement train) and identical schedule. The program is just too stupid to choose the replacement train and shows the cancelled train without any notification that there actually is a replacement. Make sure there is before relying on it, though. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 11:10, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
+====Two fellows from München ([[User:Baerenfell|Baerenfell]], [[User:Zb|zb]])====
-:I am pretty sure that there is a train leaving München for Tutzing at the discussed time. As far as I remember from last week when the construction work was already in progress, what happens is that the trains between München and Tutzing get different numbers than the original scheduled trains. The DB website tells me this:
+... who almost appear to be couch potatoes, considering how far everyone else has traveled.
-:12 RB 5417 Tutzing München Hbf Gl.27-36 Zug fällt aus (Train cancelled)
-:12 RB 88757 Tutzing München Hbf Gl.27-36 Zusatzzug/Ersatzzug (additional/replacement train)
-So, yes, let's just look for a Tutzing-bound train at 10:12 and let's not care if it will be called RB5417 or RB88757. I've put both numbers into the schedule below. I think we'll be fine. --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 16:39, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-:I have no doubt that that train is going. The point is that if you ask for a connection e.g. from München to Garmisch, it shows you the first train with a message that it's cancelled but does ''not'' show the second one. This is a program error, IMHO. It's not actually a problem for us, more like confusing, and I wanted to prevent that someone gets in panic and tries to replan everything after finding the cancellation notice. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 16:43, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

+=====[[User:Baerenfell|Baerenfell]] says...=====
-It seems that most of you change trains in München on the way to Garmisch, and that there are schedules including a train leaving München at 9:12am, and other schedules including a train leaving München at 10:12am. Maybe we want to vote?
-:I don't really think it's about voting here. Of the people currently interested, the Würzburg people have the longest way and the least options, so their schedule sets the time. It's only about where the others want to wait for them.
-::Well, the idea really wasn't about creating simple majorities and then telling those who come from Würzburg that they just have bad luck. What I wanted to do is find out if it's possible to not only share the Eibsee, but also a train ride that's part of the fun. If reaching the 9:12 train is impossible from Würzburg, this is just an encouragement for everyone else to consider joining the Würzburg crew along their way in München or Pasing or Weilheim. We might even figure out how to put as many folks as possible on our [http://www.bahn.de/regional/view/bayern/bahnregional/freizeit/bayernticket.shtml Bayern-Tickets] (5 max for each ticket).

-** no problem from Regensburg
-** ''impossible'' to reach from Würzburg
-** reachable from Tübingen at München-Pasing (better place to join is Weilheim)
-* Schedules including the train arriving in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at 11:57am (RB5417; leaving München Hbf at 10:12)
+And now I can put my hands on a huge lot of ribbons, YEEHAA!
-** o.k. for [[User:Zb|zb]], preferred by two possible drag-along geohashers.
-** no problem from Regensburg
-** possible from Würzburg to join at München
-** possible from Tübingen to join at München Hbf (better place to join is Weilheim or even Garmisch-Partenkirchen)
-After trying to figure out everyone's options, I think we might build our schedules along the way of RB5417 and meet somewhere on this train? --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 08:25, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
+Started the day with a final look at the planning page at about 9 am, packed my stuff and was on my way. The school I had to vote at, was just a few meters from home, so I stopped by and went did my civil duty (Claiming a "Democracy Geohash" for this). After that I cycled on to the Central Station to meet the others, which wasn't really complicated (everyone would recognize such a cool group | 2. Achievment today | Meet-up | all 8 ).

+I know I sound like a hippie who has smoked his brains out when I say that this trip made me feel truly happy not only because the nature looked so nice, but -- even better -- because it was very fun to meet everyone else after having done a number of geohashes myself and even failed to meet [[user:dawidi|dawidi]] once.
-That would be:

+''On to the report:''
+[[Image:2009-06-07 47 10 0001.jpg|thumb|right|A preview of what was to be seen later this day.]]
+I left the house around 8:30am and took a small detour to a nearby school house because it was election day for the European Parliament and the school is where I go to vote. A [[Talk:2009-06-07 47 10#Yay Democracy!|ribbon]] has even been suggested for this. While the school house itself was just as ugly as any German school house built in the seventies, it featured a nice painting next to one of its doors that must have been an indication about what was bound to happen later this day. See gallery below.
-Return:
+I stopped at a bakery in my neighborhood and rode my bike to the train station, where [[User:Srs0|Srs0]] had just arrived some minutes ago on his ICE train. When asking him, somewhat reluctantly, if he was, like, maybe on his way to, like, Garmisch, and stuff, he answered that yes, he was, so we introduced ourselves. He actually wasn't that hard to find because his right arm was of landmark quality with the cast he was wearing ''and'' he had an [http://imgs.xkcd.com/store/imgs/stand_back_square_0.png xkcd t-shirt]. Despite the warning on the t-shirt, I hadn't stood back and he was nice enough to not try SCIENCE. We found another bakery and got him breakfast, including a ''Auszogne'' (meaning ''a one pulled apart'') which is something like a Bavarian equivalent to a donut. Slightly later, everyone else showed up at the train station.
-*Bus at      17:10 arrives at Garmisch 17:51

-==== ICE ====
+Some friends of mine were there, too, but they went on another train to another beautiful place in the mountains to celebrate a birthday. (Happy birthday, [http://www.annegret.de/index.htm A.]!)
-(by srs0?) I'm sure the above way is probably cheaper, but I have surgery at 06:30 Monday morning, so arriving home past midnight isn't an option for me.  Here's my idea from Würzburg:
-*Start at Würzburg at 08:31, arrival at München at 10:41 (ICE 581)
+===From München to Eibsee===
-*Continuing at        11:12, arrival at Tutzing at 11:39 (RB 30613)
+Some, like [[User:Zb|zb]], were introduced to the hobby of geocaching by others, like [[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] while we had time to kill until our train left.
-*Continuing at        11:46, arrival at Weilheim(Oberbay) at 12:06 (Bus)
-*Continuing at        12:11, same as above from here.
-.00 euro with a BahnCard50
+[[Image:2009-06-07 47 10 0011.jpg|240px|thumb|left|The internet is over there.]]
+Shortly after, we went along the very scenic tracks near Starnberger See, changed onto a bus in Tutzing because the electric wires above the train tracks were in the progress of being repaired further down the railroad line, making regular train traffic impossible. We decided to sit in the back of the bus, because we remembered from back when we were still using school buses that the back is where the cool people sit. We again got onto a train in Weilheim that took us to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. From the bus, we saw some very shiny new copper wires that had already been put up and, more importantly, some famous satellite dishes that were even shinier.
+When you claim that you come from the internet, ''this exact'' village of dishes is indeed your hometown.
-Return:
+In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Ekorren was quick to negotiate our possibilities and fares for going up to Eibsee on the really cool train, the Zugspitzbahn. It has to be said that the lady at the ticket counter was very helpful towards our group that must have seemed unusual, even by standards set at places where many tourists and groups of crazy school kids travel through.
-*Same to Weilheim(Oberbay)
-*Continuing at       18:54, arrival at Tutzing at 19:14 (Bus)
-*Continuing at       19:20, arrival at München at 19:48 (RB 5424)
-*Continuing at       20:20, arrival at Würzburg at 22:35 (ICE 780)
-.00 euro with BahnCard50.
+The reasons why the Zugspitzbahn is really cool are: (a) It has tracks narrower than regular trains, (b) some parts of the tracks are so steep that it needs racks in addition to the rails. Thus, it has all the technology necessary to (c) take you up to the very top of Germany's highest mountain, the name of which is proudly featured on the display on the side of the train. Cool, eh?
-(Round trip 76 euro each with BahnCard50.)
+[[Image:2009-06-07 47 10 hashers.jpg|240px|thumb|right|The group is all set for our trip up the mountain!]]
+(d) The train also makes for a really great backdrop for a group picture, as is evidenced in the picture here and in the gallery below.
-So much less time in transit, and I can hopefully get a couple hours more of sleep before my surgery.  So Danatar/thepiguy, would you be open to taking that instead? --srs0?
+While we went uphill to Eibsee, [[user:thepiguy|thepiguy]] got serious about his plans to swim in the Eibsee. Everyone could tell because he produced diving equipment from his backpack. We kept telling him that the water would be really really cold. Our guess was < 10°C, which was wrong, as we would see shortly after.
-You could also part from the group for the ICE part alone, only pay for that extra, and join the group ticket for the rest of the trip. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 17:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
+He just kept saying that now was not the time to think about cold water. The time to think about cold water was not before he would actually be in the air, after jumping off the boat, right before impact, when it would already be too late anyway. He was ''seriously'' committed.
-Yes, the second version was by me (srs0).  Also, since I don't actually know any of the plans yet (and asking thepiguy resulted in "I don't know, I'm not doing any of the planning"), what's the transportation outline?  Ekorren mentioned a group ticket, so I assume that means the idea was to buy a 5-person ticket and use that?  If so, I'll gladly pay for the ICE part and connection myself and re-join with the group in Weilheim.  -[[User:Srs0|Srs0]] 18:07, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
+===At/On/In the lake===
+After having walked to the lake, we were offered a full choice of different vessels for rent. This is the part where we left the solid ground and went to find the water geohash. This is also where we all thank [[user:thepiguy|thepiguy]] for paying for the three boats we took out onto the lake: ''Thank you, pi!''
-:Yes, the plan definitely would be a Bayern-Ticket for all of you. If someone has some leftoevr money to throw away, I'll gladly take it because for me it's going to be much more expensive as I need to come from Baden-Württemberg and probably alone. I was about to cancel the idea because of that. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 18:13, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
+While we had expected the water temperature to be ''very, very'' cold, a sign next to the boat rental shed said it was warmer than expected: 17°C.
-I vote for leave earlier for more time at the lake! 2km in a foot powered paddle boat is going to be hard... [[User:Thepiguy|Thepiguy]] 18:16, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
+Two pedal boats and one row boat went to the spot that numerous GPS devices were pointing at. When the coordinates were reached, many different things were done to appropriately celebrate the success:
-:I vote for the current schedules, as I need the rest.  Normally I wouldn't care about lack of sleep, but right now I have to. -[[User:Srs0|Srs0]] 18:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
+[[Image:2009-06-07 47 10 0063.jpg|180px|thumb|left|Calendar Girls!]]
-::I don't think the difference in lack of sleep is so much significant because of starting one hour earlier or later, while the difference in the time available at the destination is really significant because it's short enough already. We could aim at being ''back'' at a station an hour earlier and in case something goes wrong fall back to the original timetable, and otherwise see what to do with the time. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 18:46, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
+* Three humans and Murray the hashcot went swimming.
-::<small><small>I hesitate to say that, but... as great as it would be to have you in the party, I'm not so sure whether it is a good idea to do that trip with a broken wrist. I definitely wouldn't have done it after my accident last year. If something happens, you might get in trouble with your insurance. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 18:46, 5 June 2009 (UTC)</small></small>
-:::I guess he's talking about lack of sleep AFTER the expedition, before surgery, and he has a point there. We could use local trains for the way to the hashpoint and split up on the way back (srs0 ICE, rest local trains). For me the ICE is too expensive, since I don't have a BahnCard and it would cost me 150 Euros (180 if I buy a BahnCard). There should be no insurance problem with the arm, since it is in the cast and we'll take care of it. Sitting at home versus in the train should make no difference. - [[User:Danatar|Danatar]] 18:52, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
-::::We can all take the local at 5:31, which gets us to the lake around 12:30, and then me and srs0 can take the ICE back. [[User:Thepiguy|Thepiguy]] 20:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
+* The three humans even went under water.
-=== From Tübingen ===
+* And they posed for a Calendar Girl Achievement.
-I'm not going to decide any exact route in advance. I'll probably have my own ticket anyway, so I'm independent and can just take any route that takes me to GAP in time.
+* Because the panic of a human body immersed in cold water causes some shouting, we heard amazing echoes from our location on the lake. Allegedly, one sound produced on the lake causes as many as seven echoes, but this is a detail we were not able to reproduce.
-Three options for the way out as recommended by DB (these are probably not exactly what I'm going to do).
+After we were back on the land, a walk was done on the South shore, along a smaller lake (Frillensee), overlooking the geohash location and leading to another geocache. Just in case we have not mentioned yet: The area was extremely beautiful.
-Early train:
+We bought hashcards, went to a beer garden, walked to the bus stop, mailed the hashcards, stuffed a phone box and started our journey home.

+====From München to Würzburg====
-In case I join in, my schedule would be included in almost all of the above. Leave München at 9:12 or at 10:12 both sound like good options for me. I know some of you have a trip quite longer than mine, but for me, 9:12 would be o.k. --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 20:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
+When the train arrived at München, thepiguy and srs0 got out first and ran to catch an ICE train which left three minutes later. (...)
-==Combined timetable==
+From München, Danatar had two trains to choose from to get home: One at 20:25 which would arrive at Würzburg at 0:06 and one at 21:09 which would arrive at 0:56. He had already decided earlier to visit his displaced origin hashpoint in this graticule and that would take all the time until the second option, so he said goodbye to everyone and went to buy a ''Döner''. Then he went on his displaced origin expedition ([[1981-09-04_48_11|read here]]).

+Danatar returned from his displaced origin and boarded the train towards home. At Nürnberg he had to wait almost one hour to change his train. The big rock festival ''Rock im Park'' had taken place this weekend and Danatar could pass the time watching drunk and tired people moving around zombie-like in the station. When his train finally left the seats next to him were filled with people in a good temper, so Danatar couldn't even get some sleep. His train arrived in Würzburg a few minutes late, shortly after 1 am.

-== Ticket organisation ==
+====From München to Tübingen====
-* Bayern-Tickets are 20 EUR for one and 28 EUR for 5 people, and valid on the bus and parts of the BZB.
+There isn't much to tell. After the group mostly parted, only the Regensburg people and me were left, and also left was some time. So I picked another geocache description of a cache that was supposed to be about 400 m from the station, and we set off to search for that one. Without success, this time. As I see now, the cache has been successlessly searched by other people during the last few days, so it is probably lost. Also, we got hit by heavy rain during the search.
-* Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket is 37 EUR for 5 people, but probably not valid on bus and BZB.
-* Tickets have one holder, who must keep it all the time. The rest of the group may change (with small precautions)
-So, how many people come from where, and using which tickets?
+Since it was now late enough that there was only one connection left for me, I went back the same way I had been coming, via Augsburg, Ulm and Plochingen. The train from Ulm was a bit late, which resulted in an upgrade of the unavoidable multihash so that it now also was a Speed Racer geohash. Surprisingly, after a sprint through all of the station, I still caught the RE at Plochingen and reached Tübingen at 0:25. Usually, if the train from Ulm is late (which it usually is), you have to wait for the next train to Tübingen. Which goes only a few minutes later, anyway.
-* Würzburg: x people, 1 Bayern-Ticket (holder: Danatar), 5-x places still free
+== Gallery ==
-* Regensburg: y people, 1 Bayern-Ticket (holder: Dawidi?), 5-y places still free
+(Notes moved to [[Talk:2009-06-07 47 10|talk page]])
-* Tübingen: 1 person, various options: either Wochenendticket (with 4 places free, 37 EUR, but not valid on BZB and bus); or Baden-Württemberg- and Bayern-Ticket for one person (39 EUR, no places free, or 47 with 4 places free). Depends on whether there are free places on the other Bayern-Tickets for the bus/BZB part. Joining another group for the ticket would only be cheaper if someone reroutes via Ulm or Neu-Ulm.
-* München: ? Own tickets or joining others? Only the Regensburg group goes via München both directions.
-** Thanks for starting to figure this out, Ekorren. dawidi (and his fellows) and me (and my fellows) will be able to figure things out once we meet on the platform in München, I suggest. --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 08:44, 6 June 2009 (UTC) -- oh, and I just noticed that some decisions depend on us having free unused places on our tickets. I'll be able to say for sure tonight, maybe the same for dawidi? --[[User:Zb|zb]]
-::The sooner the better, as I'd like to plan out my ICE trip(s) as soon as I can.  If you have a spare place on the tickets, I'll probably take the ICE both ways, as I want to save as much time as possible tomorrow. Regardless, I'll be taking the ICE home. -[[User:Srs0|Srs0]] 08:54, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-:::I might not know how many people will come with me (and thus how many free places there are on my/our ticket) until early morning tomorrow, so Zb may have to adjust his ticket-buying plans based on what I post then. (Since you don't have to get up as early, that should be ok.) --[[User:Dawidi|dawidi]] 08:58, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-::::Dawidi, this sounds good to me. I guess it's reasonable to meet you and Srs0 in München and just find out what's best for me to do.
-::::Srs0, if I read your plans right, you on ICE trains means you go through München both ways as well? As far as I can say at this time, it'll either be just me or me+2. It seems to be the same for dawidi: him, him+1 or him+2. Either way, it seems ''very'' likeley that we have an extra place on one of our tickets, so I suggest you get your ICE ticket to München (and back from there) anyway and we'll find a good way to share tickets from München to Eibsee. --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 09:05, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-::::Yeah, I'm thinking of ICE521 (arrive at München at 09:04) and ICE780 (depart München at 20:20).  I'd have to find my way from München to München Gl.27-36, but I have an hour to do that on the way there. -[[User:Srs0|Srs0]] 09:19, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-:::::Here is a [http://www.bahnhof.de/site/shared/de/dateianhaenge/bahnhofsplaene/bahnhofsplan__muenchen.pdf Map of München Hbf]. Platforms 27-36 are those short stubs in the upper left corner. You basically have to follow platform 26 for about 200 m to get there. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 09:25, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-:::::As Ekorren said: Don't worry about the Gl.27-36 issue. It just means it's a wing of the bulding with tracks 27-36, nicknamed ''Starnberger Bahnhof''. THe only reason why they use the special designation is that it takes slightly more time to walk from, say, track 16 to track 28 than from track 16 to track 20. Are you planning to reach RB30611, leaving München at 9:12 or RB5417, leaving München at 10:12? Dawidi was thinking about the 9:12, I am thinking about 10:12 and maybe meeting the folks from Würzburg there. Because, after all, in order to share tickets, we'd have to be on the same train. --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 09:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-::::::Thanks for the map and explanation, Ekorren and Zb!  I was thinking of the 10:12 train, to give me time to find some food or the like and to meet up with the other Würzburg people.  I'll probably get the tickets to and from München in a couple hours, as I have to go to the Hbf today anyways. -[[User:Srs0|Srs0]] 09:50, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-::::::Alright, srs0 is taking the ICE both directions, and has his tickets.  As mentioned before, he'll arrive at München at 09:04.  Both srs0 and thepiguy will be taking the ICE home, and will be departing München at 20:20. -[[Special:Contributions/78.51.45.45|78.51.45.45]] 12:04, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
-::I found that I ''can'' reroute both directions via München Hbf. In case this saves the München people buying an own ticket, I may get a 5 person Bayern-Ticket which is 8 EUR more than the 1-person I need anyway, and so much cheaper than buying an own ticket for the München people. Need to know that before reaching Ulm, otherwise I plan tickets only for myself. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 12:33, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

-* Danatar, could you get a Bayern Ticket (for 5 people) when you start your trip in Würzburg and put your name on it? -> 1/5 taken.
+=== München, doing democracy before the hash (zb) ===
-* thepiguy will be able to travel with you on this ticket all the way to Grainau. -> 2/5 taken.
+<gallery>
-* Once both of you are in München with this ticket, srs0 will be able to join you. -> 3/5 taken.
+Image:2009-06-07 47 10 0003.jpg|Vote here.
-* Since dawidi will be coming from Regensburg, I am fairly sure he will have a Bayern Ticket Single (for 1 person) or a normal Bayern Ticket (for 5) in case his friends join in. Either way will be cheapest for them anyway, I guess.
+Image:2009-06-07 47 10 0002.jpg|An ode to the seventies.
-* zb: I've just found out that I won't drag along other geohashers, so it's just me. I'd be happy to join Danatar's ticket (and share the fare, of course) -> 4/5 taken.
+Image:2009-06-07 47 10 0001.jpg|Mountains! Sunshine! Water! When you see something like this in the morning, on a building like the one in the previous picture, the day ought to be good.
-* Ekorren, it might thus be best for you to take a Bayern Ticket Single because it looks like everyone can get to Grainau on either their own (dawidi +?) or Danatar's ticket.
+</gallery>
-* On the way back, dawidi (+?) will again have his/their own tickets.
+=== From München to the lake ===
-* Between Grainau and Munich, Danatar, thepiguy, srs0 and zb will be 4 out of 5 possible travellers on Danatar's ticket. In Munich, zb continues by bike and thepiguy and srs0 enjoy the the comfort and velocity of an ICE train, for which they already have their own tickets, leaving Danatar to go on whatever route he likes with his Bayern Ticket.
+<gallery>
-* Ekorren will also have his ticket. Ekorren, you said you may want to travel with a Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket. In case you want to do so: It seems like you can be the 5th traveller on Danatar's Bayern-Ticket on the BZB between Garmisch and Grainau.

-===Where and when to meet in Munich===
+=== Back ===
-I suggest that all those who take the 10:12am train from Munich (RB5417) meet at 10:00am next to the platform of tr. 29 and 30, close to the ticket booth of the Bayerische Oberlandbahn (BOB). This will be the part of the train station where our train leaves. <s>Do NOT buy any tickets at the BOB counter, though, because we won't be taking BOB trains. However, there are vending machines of Deutsche Bahn in this part of the station as well, and in case we still need tickets, we have to get any Bayern tickets at a vending machine anyway because they cost extra when you buy them at a counter, from humans.</s> --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 10:23, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
+<gallery>
-:There is probably no reason to not buy the Bayerntickets at the BOB office, though (ask for the price first, but usually non-DB railways do not charge the counter supplement. Don't know definitely about the B(ay)OB.). A Bayernticket is a Bayernticket, no matter where and how it was bought. Also, as I collect tickets and Ländertickets are a very special and already very large collection, I would appreciate any Bayernticket that is bought from any place which is not run by DB - so, rather buy it at the tram stop and send it to me after use if you want to do me a good favour :) --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 12:39, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

-::''If'' they sell ''real'' Bayern tickets, there's of course nothing wrong with getting it at the BOB office. ''But'' make sure you really can get a Bayern ticket at their office and not the somewhat cheaper BOB ticket that's only valid on their trains and on the City zone (Innenraum) of Munich's bus/tram/subway/s-bahn network. The latter is awesome if you go to Tegernsee/Schliersee/Bayrischzell, but it can't be used on DB trains to Garmisch. --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 16:52, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

-===In München, around the train station===
-For srs0 and others who have some time to kill in München: Bakeries within the train station are often expensive, only some are of good quality. My favourite one is ''not'' on the main floor where all the snack shops are, but one floor below, and it might be worth cheking if it's open on Sundays: Walk into the main hall, right behind the big display panel at the end of tracks 18 or 19. Take the short escalator down ''just one floor'', where signs indicate you're on the way to subways U1 and U2. There is a small bakery to your left. Quality of food is about as good as on the main floor, prices are way better. The shop is below the flower shop ("Blumen") [http://www.bahnhof.de/site/shared/de/dateianhaenge/bahnhofsplaene/bahnhofsplan__muenchen.pdf on the pdf map of the train station].
-Also, many good options for bakeries, and especially Döner and Börek and the like are South of the main station, along Goethestr. and on the corners of Schwanthalerstr. or Landwehrstr. and Goethestr. and Schillerstr. Basically all of this is just one block... It's a turkish neighbourhood, known for a ton of computer stores, (mostly) good snack restaurants and porn/tabledance shops, the latter of course always seem to be found around the train station in big European cities, no matter what other influences the neighbourhood actually has.
+Let's collect them all! That will be an amazing collection, won't it?
-Vegetarians might like spinach Börek with Feta (say: "Börek mit Spinat").

+<!-- Pirate Geohash is retracted, was rather an error -->
-As far as food, avoid the streets East of the train station towards Karlsplatz (nicknamed "Stachus"). This is the center of the City. While there are nice buildings to see around Karlsplatz, it's really the touristy part with mostly restaurant chains. --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 10:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

-:And I still miss detailed advance information about a possible beer garden option at Eibsee: Which brewery provides the beer? How much is it? Do they serve in 0.5l glasses (Halbe) or 1.0l glasses (Maßen)? How much is the beer there anyway? Do they have chestnut trees like a good beer garden should? How bout the menu? Roasted pork? With bread dumplings or with potato dumplings? Good non-meat options like Käsespätzle or Kaiserschmarrn? Obazda? --[[User:Zb|Zb]] 17:19, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
