Plans

The original plan was to drive by car close to the woods of Elsenz, and then to walk to the final localation.

Expedition

I startet by walking to my car which is parked in Heidelberg at about 12:22. Then I drove about 40 minutes to the village of Elsenz, which is located in the urban district of Heilbronn. On my way to the village I passed the township Angelbachtach and its very nice water castle [1]. I decided that I will do a stop there on my way back, looking for some geocaches nearby. As I arrived at the border of the woods of Elsenz, I got the chance to watch a soccer match between FC Elsenz and some other soccer club. However, since I am not interested in soccer at all, I passed :) The final location was only about 600 meters away from my parking spot and was quite accessible, even though I had to leave the track several times. On my way to the final location, I noticed that there is a nature trail nearby which teaches you some interesting facts about domestic birds. Finally, I found the final location at about 14:04. However, the GPS-signal was so bad that it was impossible to get closer to the location than about 8.5 meters.
