Now I am writing the report I see that little blue thingy on the map - who the hell suggested an alternate point in the middle of nowhere (i.e., Zwätzen)? Anyway, I went to the original point: starting by bike from Jena, I took the nice forest road to Großschwabhausen, this time taking Karl and Tux with me. We made a break and they both played at the water, and when I didn't watch for a minute they built a little boat from my hashpoint satellite printout and sent it down the creek. Luckily, I had a "screenshot" on my camera... so after I had passed Bucha and really found the road to the point, I was stopped by a fence - should this be a No Trespassing Geohash? Well, it did not look like the fence would go all the way around the area, so I tried to walk around - up to my knees in stinging nettles, I really got round the fence, but behind it (where I had to go) there was a very steep slope, so I decided to try the other way round, where there was a street down the hill and I could go by bike over the last few 100m of meadow to the exact point. Karl and Tux enjoyed the sun for a while and then we marked the point with dandelion blossoms - really beautiful. So, how was Zwätzen? ---Paintedhell (Photos will follow soon.)
