TLDR: Took the bus to Grabau and cycled through the winter wonderland (~15 cm of snow) to this hash. Strangely beautiful. Had to race back in the dark, however, to catch the bus home. Not recommended in these conditions.
Full report from two months later: In the afternoon, I boarded the bus to Grabau, getting great views of the snowy landscape on the way. From there, I had to cycle just over 5 km to the hash. The return bus would leave around 50 minutes later. On the way, I saw frozen lakes, snow-covered forests, steep upward and downward slopes and many potholes. I stopped twice to take pictures of the land (we don't get this level of snow too often), and had a fall after I missed a pothole and slid on the following ice. Due to the conditions, going was rather slow, and I slowly watched my spare time decrease. When I finally reached the hash just after passing a couple kids with a sleigh, I wasted no time, found the coordinates at the side of the road, took photos and sped off again the way I came.
It quickly got dark, but I could not relent or I'd miss the bus. It only runs every two hours, and I had a competitive table tennis match in the evening. I paid strong attention to the road, and skidded several times, but managed not to fall again. The way back seemed way longer, and I wasn't sure I'd make it until I reached the beginning of the village of Grabau. After a thorough workout and with sweaty clothes, I reached the bus stop around two minutes before the bus arrived. I didn't need to hurry that much after all! Ah well.
