Plans

I'll take the train to Unterheckenhofen and walk from there. Hopefully I'm able to get back to the train station in less than 55 minutes to catch my train home.

Expedition

There are two paths from Unterheckenhofen towards the hash. The primary connection is east of the train tracks on a road - that presumably doesn't have any support for pedestrians. This also makes sense considering the hash is also east of the tracks, and I will not cross tracks 'in the wild'. But according to my scouting, there is also a path to the west of the tracks, crossing in an underbridge approx. 100 meters before the hash. I'll take that one, just because I don't like to walk on roads without pedestrian support. Maybe I should become more cofortable to pretend to be a car.

Just as my scouting suggested, the westerly path leads to an underpass under the tracks, and I follow the rarly used road only for my last 100 meters to get to the hash. Contrary to my scouting, the hash wasn't really in a forest - the road I've been walking on is very prominent in my picture taken at the hash. After locating the hash - that appears to be on the other side of the road than what I expected - I return to my train station, with enough time to spare to comfortable make my train home.
