Location
In graticule 49 8, the Geohash of Monday, March 16th 2009 is located at the Erlichsee, a lake near Oberhausen-Rheinhausen, a small town between Mannheim and Karlsruhe. The next train station is Waghäusel, about a 3.5km walk from the Hashpoint. The Hashpoint itself is on a peninsula in the lake, according to the Google Maps satellite and OpenStreetMap, it's on land, according to Google Maps, it is at the edge of the water, so I'm not really sure it can actually be reached by foot. Also it might be private property.
As the Waghäusel station is both in the VRN and KVV Verkehrsverbund (don't know, if there's an English translation for this), Hashers from Mannheim/Heidelberg might also consider going on this expedition.

Planning
I'll take the Regionalbahn to Mannheim. It departs at Karlsruhe Hbf at 14:25 platform 2 or at Karlsruhe-Hagsfeld at 14:29. I don't know yet, where I get on the train, the Hagsfeld station is actually closer to my house, but as I'll write an exam again this day (let's hope it won't get delayed again), I might also go via Hbf. The train arrives in Waghäusel at 14:48, giving me plenty of time to walk to the Hashpoint.
Live from the Expedition
- coordinates reached :) it's not in water, which is about 2 meters away from the hash, though. --koepfel 14:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
