Location
Today's coordinates are located near a playing field and some tennis courts north of Kirrweiler and east of Diedesfeld, south of Neustadt an der Weinstraße. Closest train station is Maikammer-Kirrweiler, which conveniently is the last station I can reach with my KVV-ticket.
Planning
My train leaves Karlsruhe Main Station at 14:34 on platform 1, arrives in Maikammer-Kirrweiler at 15:38. From there, it's about 3 kilometers, which I'll go by bike, reaching the Hashpoint, hopefully at 16:00.

Report
Despite an accident, resulting in several delayed and cancelled trains, I managed to reach the Hashpoint at 16:00. It was located at a fence next to a football field (this kind of football). According to the GPS, the Hashpoint was outside the fence.
More to come.
