Expedition
I was on my way from my parents' place in 49 8 to Dresden. After 2.5 hours of continuous driving I left the Autobahn A4 at the Friedewald exit and drove through Philippsthal to Vacha. There I parked the car at the lower end of a street that led to the hashpoint, then I started walking. After a short while I reached the area of the hashpoint. The GPS dance finally brought me to the spot which luckily wasn't in in the next house's garden but instead just outside. After some pictures I continued on that street because Google Maps had a marker for a maple tree with four trunks. When I got there it was indead an impressive tree but I believe that it's not one plant but instead four which are very near to each other. Then I walked back, passing the hashpoint again. Shortly after I saw a squirrel with an acorn climbing a tree. It watched me, then fled. Then I continued my journey to Dresden. First I drove along the country roads to Eisenach. My initial plan to visit the Wartburg was cancelled because I was later than planned, so I went on the Autobahn at the Eisenach East exit, the drive to Dresden took me another four hours.
In total, this expedition was a detour of 16.6 km during a 550 km drive.
It took me 8 years to get from 27 to 28 reached hashpoints.
