Location

Today is a birthday.

According to http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1581, Randall Munroe created the webcomic xkcd on September 30, 2005. As geohashing is a derivative of the comic, it is an important day. Thank you, Randall Munroe, that you have created both, the comic and the game.

The geohash lies in the forest Falkenberg, north of Zierenberg.

Participants

GeorgDerReisende

Plans

Hitchhiking and walking.

Expedition



I left home at 10:30, started to hitchhike at 11:40 at the Ehlener Kreuz, and with two cars I arrived at 11:55 at Zierenberg. To the hash I walked along the eastern side of the valley of the Warme. I saw some hashsheep. And I had a very first view to the hashforest. All photos are made with my handy, because my camera is really dead. It's a lot of work to get all the photos out of the handy and I don't want to see the bill. And the quality is bad. The house is the old Range farm.

Then I came to the hashforest. I found a forestway at the edge of the forest, not shown in the osm-map.

I tried this way, because the main forest way led into a valley and the hash looked like lying on some part of the hill. While walking along this way, I found a hole at it's side. In the hole I could see some layers of stone and sand in the ground. Later I found another such hole with some other layers.

After some walk uphill I found the hash right in the forest, 38 meters away from the way. I walked into the forest, walking between young and not so young birches and made it to two meters, for a moment I saw the one meter mark, but I thought within the trees it would be a long and dangerous dance to get the zero mark and didn't try it. I wrote a mark on one tree. Yeah! Happy birthday, xkcd!

I looked around and in all directions I saw only birches. Once I saw me, of course.

I followed the way more uphill and then I walked a little bit criss-cross through the valley. At least I had a view to Zierenberg airport. An airport for model aircraft.

At last I made a walk to the Zierenberger Warte. I had a last view to the hash area, a view to the tower, and from the site of the tower a view to Zierenberg. For the journey home I started to hitchhike at 15:15 and arrived with two cars at the Druseltal tram stop at 16:30.
