Plan

Q-Owl: May be I'll take a day off, if my chef allows it. I plan to drive to the hashpoint in the morning. Reach it, visit N 49° 00,000' E 8° 00,000' and find a few geocaches.

Possible activities nearby:
Confluencing by visiting N 49° 00,000' E 8° 00,000' (1.8 km ssw, near the D244)
Nearest Geocaches: GC24NAR and GC52QB3
Safari Cache: OCF495 (0.0 km^^)

Expedition

Q-Owl: I took about 4 hours off, drove the B9 to Wörth, crossed the D/F border at Lauterbourgand, parked the car at the D3 about 0.5 km NE to the hashpoint. Then I put on boots, got the bicycle out of the car and drove on wet forest roads near the hashpoint. I reached it in a swampy area of the huge forest "Bienwald".

Very good, that I put on my rain boots when I left the car, because I had to "dance" about 10 to 15 minutes under the trees and between blackberry tendrills in the swamp. After this I marked the hp with a little white piece of paper, took some photos and drove back to the car.

On my way back to the German border I visited N 49° 00,000' E 8° 00,000' and the "Mirrorpoint" N 49° 00,080' E 08° 00,094'. And I found NN geocaches.
