Plans

To go there, by hitchhiking, taking some photos, then going home, again by hitchhiking.

Expedition

I had calculated a travel time of about 5 1/2 hours for the way to Höchberg and the same time for the way home. With this calculation I started at the last possible time, at 11:30. I have went to the truckstop Lohfeldener Rüssel and asked there drivers, if they are going south. After 15 minutes I got a car going to the service station Hasselberg, with about no waiting time I got there a car to the service station Großenmoor, but there I had to wait for one hour and got then a truck to the service station Riedener Wald. From there I got another car within 30 minutes to Würzburg, where I arrived at 16:45. By taking the bus and then not walking straight ahead I arrived at the hash at 18:00. There I have taken the necessary proof and pictures. Then I have walked back to Höchberg, but again not the direct way and I have taken some useless photos again. A roe deer was looking around, what I was doing there.

I started hitchhiking at 19:40, which had been one hour behind my plan, I got a car to the service station Riedener Wald, after a waiting time of one hour a car to the service station Hasselberg and after an another waiting time of 30 minutes a car to the exit Wilhelmshöhe, from which I got another car for four kilometers. The last way I had to walk, so I arrived at home at about 2:45.

The weather was clouded, but it didn't look like it would rain. I had to work during the following night, which in my current job means "work 08:00 to 14:00, go home for a while, return to work from 20:30 to 08:30, rest of the second day off". I started from work at 14:25 and cycled through Würzburg to Höchberg and from there over the fields. It went well and it felt good to pass the green spots along the route. After a while I was near the hashpoint and found a meadow with many colorful flowers. Reaching the spot (at 15:08) itself was easy. Afterwards I returned to Höchberg on the same path, but from there I took a different route home.

Only today (2013-08-31) did I see that Georg also went to the hashpoint. What a pity, I'd have liked to meet him!
