Location

Next to a path in a forest near Steinhuder Meer.

Participants

Plans

Morning visit. Bus from the Neustadt am Rübenberge station to Mardorf/Strandhotel, 400m from the point. Likely hang out by the lake until a return bus.

Expedition

The road heading west out of Neustadt is straight and flat. It also turned out to be beautiful, narrow, lumpy, and limited to 30 km/h. So the 835 bus went slowly. I got off at Strandhotel just as a return bus was boarding a large group of children. Only then did I notice the buses were towing large but empty bike trailers - cool to have lots of capacity for bringing bikes to the lake.

Easy walk along the path parallel to the road, then an unpaved track heading north. Didn't even have to step off the track to reach the point.

Afterwards, I crossed back over the road to head south towards the lake. The closest beach was the swimming beach, where various entertainment equipment was getting set up. Beyond that was a path, fenced in on both sides, through a forest. I ultimately caught the return bus at Mardorf/Erlenweg, possibly the same bus and driver.
