Expedition

Oisín (talk)

I did a small detour on my way home late after work along the river Elbe straigth to the hashpoint near the sporting areas in the Ostragehege. It was a warm evening and there were not many people around, just a few on the soccer pitches and the gymnastic area. After taking a few pictures I continued my way home.

I was going to a barbeque that wasn't far from the hashpoint, about 1 km, on the other side of the Elbe though. Usually I would have crossed the Elbe at the Albert bridge and then cycled along the Elbe to the place but the hashpoint led me along a different route. Cycling along the Elbe on the southern side of the river brought me to the city center, then I continued along the river until I was at the Marienbrücke (Mary bridge). From there it was just along a very straight street that went along the Ostragehege sporting area until I reached the hashpoint. The spot itself was easy to find on the open meadow. I didn't stay long, returning to the Marienbrücke and crossing the Elbe there before reaching the barbeque where the grill was already burning.
