Location

The Geohash is located in the Bockmerholz forest near Laatzen. Half of the forest is a nature reserve, but the coordinates luckily are in the other part.

Expedition

I started to walk east in Laatzen. I came by a cool roundabout with moving spheres, which doesn't look that cool on the picture below. There also was what I believe was a equestrian school, and I saw both a rider on a horse and horse tracks on my path. The Landscape was quite pretty.

I now entered the forest. The “entrance” looks great, look at the picture below! Since the part I am entering is a nature reserve, I must not leave the path, but that's no problem, because the coordinates (where I would have to leave the path) are outside of the reserve. Eventually, I reach the coordinates.

On my way back I notice some garbage, not only the can I photographed, in the forest, which probably has gotten there from drivers who stopped there. (The coordinates are not far from a major road.) It's absurd that those people wouldn't drop it into one of the two garbage cans that were right there. However, I did it in their place.
