In a vineyard near Landau in der Pfalz.

Participants

Plans

Baarde will take the train to Wissembourg and cycle to the coordinates. He expects to be there at 16:00.

Expedition

The ride to the geohash was very pleasant. Once you’ve crossed the border to Germany, almost every path is paved. So I just had to aim in the direction of the coordinates and take whatever path was going that way.

The coordinates were located in a vineyard near Landau. I arrived slightly before 16:00 and met nobody.

Rather than cycling back to France, I decided to take the train. So I bought a ticket and SNCF sent me an email telling me I would be able to collect my ticket at one of their vending machines… in France.

That’s European railway interoperability for you! 😅
