With a distance of only 2 km from where I live, and a very high probability of reachable coordinates, I just had to go there. I usually would have tried to get several achievements (e.g., try a Tron achievement), but since I was still fighting a tonsilitis (and several other infections as a byproduct), I didn't even know if it would be sensible to try an expedition at all the evening before. Luckily, I had no fever on the day of the expedition, so I decided that a really slow walk in the cold, foggy air of incoming winter could do no harm.
After a short walk through streets sided by many pretty 19th-century houses, I passed the Bergfiedhof, Heidelberg's famous and beautiful cemetery (I've visited it many times, but not this day). I reached the last house on the Steigerweg ("climber's way", it leads up towards the Odenwald hills and gets really steep at times). This point also marks the border of the city district I live in. I followed a path (a really bad trail more or less exclusively used and probably even created by countless mountain bikers) towards the hashpoint. I still managed to lose my direction a few times, unnecessarily leaving the path. On the way back I found out that OSM was right: You can conveniently reach the hashpoint without ever leaving that trail.
I found the hash tree, with GPS reception being surprisingly good despite fog and foliage, and left one of my wooden signs. A Short, but fun expedition.
