About

The Pforzheim, Germany graticule contains Karlsruhe (South), Pforzheim and Villingen-Schwenningen as the biggest cities and the northern and middle parts of the Black Forest as dominant landscape feature.

Hashing in this graticule can get challenging for high elevation differences and steep slopes, but if you bring a bike or like a long walk, there aren't many places you can't reach.

According to Land usage, the chance for your hash to fall into one of the following areas is:

58.28%	"Natural reserves" (mostly mountain forests, and not quite really reserves)
20.93%	Fields
13.31%	Forests
3.97%	Near roads
1.79%	Near highways
1.54%	Settlements
0.19%	Water

According to reality, it's totally different than that, because the Land Usage script is based on data which is entirely unsuited for this purpose.
