Location

In the middle of snow covered fields 3 km north of Sinsheim.

Participants

ilpadre

Plans

Go there by train, walk to the hashpoint and don't forget to charge the GPS this time.

Expedition

A short walk from Sinsheim station took me through seemingly endless snow-covered fields and uphill to the hashpoint, where I enjoyed a nice view. With a fully charged GPS and, despite the sky being obcured by clouds, good reception (the tracklog even shows my xkcd marker), I had no problem identifying the hashpoint.

If you zoom in at the hashpoint, you can see where I wrote xkcd into the snow!
