As this would be my seventh consecutive geo hash I decided to visit Gollma in the early morning on my way to work (from Jena to Leipzig) although this meant that I would have to drive a detour of 25 km.

Cumbersomely I got up at 6:12 am, but enjoyed my journey in the rising sun. I arrived at Gollma at 8:15 am (my camera is still adjusted to winter time) where I parked my car near the fire department. After that I had a nice walk of 1 km on a dirt track between a meadow and a field of canola in which the hash point was located. Finally I had to struggle only a few meters through the waist-high plants to reach the hash point. I was very appalled when suddenly a deer ran away beside me, but this couldn't stop me from taking photos and marking the hash point for Reinhard who wanted to visit it in the evening. Then I hurried to get back to my car and discovered that I had forgotten to lock it up. Fortunately in this idyllic village with a lot of curios inhabitants nothing was stolen and so I happily left for work and arrived there only a few minutes too late.
