Plans

Drive through there, obviously.

If anybody else might want to meetup, we shall choose a spot besides the road. I Propose the parkingspace "Im Singten" shortly west of the crossing with A48.

Expedition

Gefrierbrand

This was a great and relatively easy opportunity. I had to drive home from work anyways and choosing a route which went through the hashpoint was an acceptable detour. I was alone in my car and safety is quite important, so I did not even attempt to take photos. Instead, I only started my GPS logger.

The Hashpoint was located on the left lane passing through the Autobahn-crossing between A48 and A61. Usually, there is no general speed limit (yet) on the Autobahn, but on this specific part the maximal allowed velocity is 130 km/h (~36 m/s; ~81 mph). I have driven though there on numerous occasions, but usually I took the exit to the right and did not continue straight. However, I have definitively passed through the exact hashpoint before (probably even at the maximum allowed speed). Of course I can't remember the exact date more precisely than "probably sometime in 2020, but definitively not before 2018" and I have no GPS logs or anything like it to prove it. But since cheating is encouraged for that achievement and I did not even cheat, but just don't have (visible) proof I'll allow myself the ribbon.
