Expedition
At four o'clock I arrived in Zimmersrode, a small town north of the location, with a train of the HLB - quite the opposite of a high-speed train.
From there I walked through beautiful fields to my very first Geohash, only being disturbed by the noise of the nearby Autobahn. Before arriving, I went through the small village of Waltersbrück, where cabbage was advertised several times, and at one point also Christmas trees - in July. Leaving the village, another cabbage sign pointed me down a small road to the Geohash.
And there I was already, next to a fenced off meadow. Since there were no animals to be seen and I didn't want to have walked all the way for nothing, I scrambled underneath the fence and searched for the exact position between dried-up cow piles. Now I was finally standing in the middle of the empty meadow, with a lovely view of a farm down the valley.
Eventually I completed my journey with a short hike to Treysa, where I was going to catch a somewhat faster train back south. Mission accomplished!
