Expedition
Ekorren left Tübingen in the very early morning to take the train to the hashpoint, via Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. The reason for this larger detour were (a) to sell the leftover Baden-Württemberg-Ticket at a larger station like Stuttgart or Karlsruhe and (b) to pick up Koepfel in Karlsruhe. Koepfel left his home at 7:20 and we met at the main station and took the 8:04 Regionalexpress to Offenburg and from there another Regionalexpress to Emmendingen, where we had to wait half an hour for our bus to Teningen, as the bus timetables are set after the trains from the nearby city of Freiburg.
After a short walk through Emmendingen, we entered the bus, which drove along a very narrow field path to the village of Teningen and dropped us off at the stop Rohrlache, outside of the village. From there, it was another 2-3 kilometers to the Hashpoint. On our way there, we walked by a lake, which was inhabited by a swan.
The GPS signal was rather weak in the forest, but after a larger GPS-dance, we managed to find the hashpoint. We made an xkcd marker out of branches lying around, took photos of Koepfel's hashscot and celebrated a new graticule for both of us. As announced before, we reached the hashpoint at 11:15, so another official Saturday Meetup for both of us.
