Expedition

After I finished my university work, I took the train to Holstentherme in the evening. The Holstentherme is a big leisure swimming facility where I learned to swim more than 15 years ago and was only 330 m from the hash. I cycled past it and stopped at a mound after a little over a kilometre. I originally thought the hash was just in some trees in an unoccupied (and possibly forbidden) area, as OSM had no paths there. But I discovered a much used path over the mound, which, to my surprise, led me to a big path from where I could see the Baggersee, the largest lake near my home, less than 40 m away and more than 10 people chilling at the beach. The hashpoint lay only 2 m from the path at the edge of a slope, and people passed me during my hashdance.

After the photo-taking, I went down to the beach to take some photos of the lake and the nearby sand mining area (I had never seen one before). According to OSM, the hash was only 10 m from the sand extraction area because the beach is a part of it. When I rode back, I discovered another path that led directly to a good lookout over the mine, from where I got good pictures of it. Then I cycled 8 km home, taking the longer but quieter western route.
