So close to home, sunday, sunny weather, spring. What else would it need to go to this hash? I decided to wlak by foot.

Expedition

I started from home t10:45. I walked through the town for half an hour, but then I reached the fields. Short time later I reached the rhine dike and some minutes later I crossed the dike and walked on the dam that connects the peninsula Flötzgrün with the mainland.

As I had to cross this dam twice, I couldn't reach a tron achievement. The island is covered wirth an alluvial forest and it was wonderful to walk there. There were a fantastillion birds singing. Half an hour later I left the mainpath and switched left to a smaller path. Soon I reached a lawn. According to Google there should be a path on the other side of the lawn, but there was just wilderness. I still had to go 70 m and I was up to call it a failure. But then I saw the water just next to the lawn and a walkable shore next to it. So I climbed down a small bank and followed the water for some meters. I came down to 35m. It was still just wilderness ebtween me and the hash, but it doesn't seem as dense as from the lawn-side. So I climbed the bank again and fought myself through some stinging-nettles. Thanks to good shoes and a dense trouser (which Ioffended me earlier for beeing to warm) I could cross the copse, althoug slowly. After some minutes I had a success. A tree stand just at the right point. Just some pictures, than I returned. As I could use my own path, the way back was much faster.

The rest of the way was rather uneventfull (except for an icecream at the gs station). After 3 hours I came back home.
