Location

in a forest near Nieder-Beerbach next to castle Frankenstein

Participants

Gefrierbrand
Santu
Pedro the dog

Expedition

We simply had to go to this one. It was located only a few hundred meters next to the famous Castle Frankenstein, where the Monster Frankenstein might have originated.

Originally we had intended to go for a long walk from home and possibly even do a tron route, but decided against and drove to the visitor parking space. We then immediately ignored Frankenstein and other tourists to go to the hashpoint. Despite the snow and ice, it was easy to reach and we could even let Pedro run around unleashed for a while.

After we took the obligatory proof and grin pictures, we headed back on a slightly different route. There, we found a gigantic hearing aid and naturally had to try it. Although it said so on the description, we could not hear any grass growing.

We then ventured into the castle and to our surprise there was a lovely little Christmas Market inside where we had some hot chocolate. If it hadn't been for geohashing, we would definitively not have gone there.
