Planning

I will take the train to WIssembourg and then bike about 14 kilometers to Niederschlettenbach.

• Leave Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhpf at 9:34, take a Regionalbahn to Winden, from there a Regionalbahn to Wissembourg, arriving at 10:28.
• Then I*ll ride to the Hashpoint. Since the area around Niederschlettenbach is not exactly flat land, this might take a little longer.
• Trains back from Wissembourg leave at *:33, every hour.
• Depending on when I'm back in Karlsruhe I might still go on 2009-04-18 49 8, which seems easier. Take the bike into the Stadtbahn S4 to Zaisenhausen, from there it's about 4 kilometer to the Hashpoint.

Update at 06:39, 18 April 2009 (UTC): As I woke up this morning, I heard the sound of raindrops falling on my window. Looks like this is going to be a Drowned Rat Geohash.
