Photos
I forgot to bring my camera, so excuse the poor quality and complete lack of horizontal alignment in these photos:
Horsies by Baruth station.
Tree-lined avenue from station to the Baruth park.
A very cool but dilapidated building on stilts next to the rather marshy park.
Not long for this world.
Baruth park castle.
A travel bug and a gigantic oak holding geocache GC27F0Q.
Walking down the road toward Klasdorf.
Turn-off into what turned out to be a tract of land for a pipeline.
Pipeline pumping or monitoring station?
Mystery Box mark 2 - no box, just a lifeguard's chair!
Geodesic survey marker on a tree.
Geodesic survey stone.
Marker and stone together.
GPS coords of the marker.
Where in Berlin they number every single tree, out here in Brandenburg they only number each section of forest :-)
The pipeline tract opens up into a larger field, the hashpoint is beyond the far tree line, but... an electric fence!
Fortunately the fence ends abruptly and shows it was there for no reason at all.
Looking down the hashfield. The hashpoint is beyond the mystery box.
And turning the corner to see the hashpoint in the dead centre of this photo.
iPhone map proof.
iPhone GPS proof.
That's a cake. With two candles. Happy birthday, geohashing!
A tractor crosses the top of the hash field.
No poster, left a card. The tree sap glistens in the beating sun.
After a flat journey, heading downward back into civilisation.
Baruth has a few of these strange underground cellars dotted around in public places - not connected to any private property.
Roundabout joining the two major roads running through Baruth.
