Location

Today's Hashpoint is located about one kilometer south of Berg, a small village near the French-German border. The hashpoint itself is actually in France, 200 meters from the border, the nearest town in the same country is Lauterbourg, but Berg seems to be closer. The point might very well be near the most eastern point in France, except Corsica (no source on this, just a short check in Google Maps)

Expeditions

Koepfel

Planning

Similar approach as on my expedition to Neuburg, depart at Karlsruhe Kronenplatz at 14:37, S5 to Wörth or at 14:51, S4 to Hauptbahnhof, then the 15:07 Regionalexpress to Wörth, then at 15:19 Regionalbahn to Lauterbourg, arrives in Berg at 15:31.

With Fluxkompensator's announcement, I decided to take a train one hour earlier (even though he probably won't be able to read this anymore).

Live from the Expedition

• coordinates reached. I wish i'd have brought a machete or something. The hashpoint is in the middle of very thick undergrowth. --koepfel 13:22, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
• fluxkompensator arrived at about 16:00. After he visited the hash, we went for a nearby geocache and split up at about 17:00 at the rhine. He cycled home, i went by foot to lauterbourg, and am now in the train back to wörth. --koepfel 15:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Planning

I will try to reach the geohash by bike from Karlsruhe, taking the ferry Neuburgweier/Neuburg. Probably I will be there a bit earlier than Koepfel, because I want to back before 5pm. Maybe we meet anyway if I'm late :-).
