Expedition
As planned, I had about 2 hours to myself and was able to head for this geohash, which is once again on the German side. I think that since I started geohashing this year, I'll soon know southern Germany better than I ever did in my life. After about 45 minutes I was able to park nearby and look up the coordinates. Unlike the screenshot with the aerial photo, the point is not in front of the building but inside. But fortunately under the passage. Only there I had no GPS signal. But it was enough for the proof :-) With some leaves I made the xkcd lettering. Aach has a pretty little old town and another special attraction: the Aachquelle (the source of the river Aach)

Appendix
After the hashdance I was looking for a nearby geocache. A special one, because there are a few different types of geocaches. And this one was an Earthcache! (explanations here)
The Aachquelle is the source of the river Aach
here in the "Aachtopf" came that much water out of the underground...
