Plans

The plan was to hitchhike to Göttingen, to take a bus to the beginning of the forest and to walk into the forest.

Expedition

I left home at 11:30, started to hitchhike at 12:30 and got a car after five minutes. From the junction Göttingen to the forest I took two buses. At the terminus of the bus I could see that I was on the false hill, but it was only 500 meters more to walk and I started more uphill. Later I found out, that there was a valley between me and the hash and the way of the first choose wouldn't help me. I had to go to the bottom of the valley and to the top of the other hill. I did it. On the last meters I found a mark to the hash. But it was a red 'K', why was the way to the hash marked with a red 'K'?

On the way back to Göttingen I found three geocashes, but they were too far away for an achievement.
