I parked in the visitor lot of what appeared to be some sort of electronics company and walked towards the border. The paths I had seen from the maps were right there and easily navigable. After a easy 15 minute walk, I arrived at the hashpoint and took some pictures, making sure to be within the 10 meter radius while standing on either side of the border.
