Todays spot is near Löwenberge near Trebbin in the south of Berlin. Lyx and I had planned to take the train to Thyrow (closest station within the city fare) and from there go by bike. Lyx missed the train, so I had to sadly go alone.

With a short detour (I don't navigate by GPS), I came close to the spot at about 4:30pm. The closest road is the Waldstraße, leading into the forest.

Already on the satellite view, a particular tower was visible nearby. It turned out to be a cellular network station. From there, the unlabeled Steiler Weg leads up to the tower (148m ground level, said my GPS). The spot is in the forest below.

I turned on the GPS on the top of the hill and 7 satellites led the way through the forest.

• I found the geohash location in the forest, rather close to a service path
• I hid a geocache near the spot; the cache is marked by a bull's eye. It contains the first of a series of puzzle pieces, which will be placed an consequent geohashing locations I visit.
• I set up a flashline near the spot and walked it.

That makes it a Geohashcacheflashline expedition.
