I left home at 12:00, started to hitchhike at the Auestadion at about 12:30. After five minutes a car stopped and I got a lift to Wega, where I arrived at 13:04. Then I walked to Wellen.

Then I walked nearly three kilometers along the state road, at some place I had a view to the castle of Waldeck.

I entered the field way to the forest, which later changed to a forest way.

I arrived at the place beyond the hash. Google's map showed a forest way here. But a missing way doesn't hinder a geohasher. I started to climb up and thought about the difficulty of the climbing and how easy it is to fall down.

Near the hash I got a two meters shot, for a moment I saw a one meter mark. It was very dangerous to stand there, so I didn't dance. But the pointer of the GPS danced a lot and away.

The geohasher leaned against the tree. I looked around.

As I was one hour too early, I looked for a safe place to sit down and saw a place uphill, which looked good. I climbed to it and found a crater. But behind the crater I saw a way and decided to walk to it. I stepped across dead branches.

Some branches stopped my way and I tried to bend them to make some place to go between. At the moment of the next step both branches broke and I fell backwards and downhill. While I was falling the last thought was Das geht jetzt ins Auge. I grabbed to another big branch and could stop the fall. Luckily there were only little sprouts and moose.

I walked the new found forest way uphill and found the top of the hill and some other ways.

While waiting for hash o'clock I became prey for raptors. After hash o'clock I walked downhill and had a very good view to the valley of the river Eder. Wellen in front, Ungedanken in the back at the left, Wega in the back at the right side.
