Location

Today's coordinates are located in the western edge of the Hardtwald, a large forest north of Karlsruhe, more exactly in the town of Leopoldshafen, a (together with Eggenstein) 15.000 inhabitants town north of Karlsruhe. The Hashpoint is not too far away from the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, a large research center (official website). founded in 1956.

Planning

This was too close not to try. Since the Hashpoint and my home are seperated by the Hardtwald, I had two possibilities of going there. Using light rail lines S2 and S1, through the Karlsruhe inner city, south the forest, or use line S2 north to Blankenloch and take bus 195 to Leopoldshafen there. This might have been ideal conditions for a tron geohash, however bus 195 crosses its route on an overpass in Blankenloch, invalidating the achievement.
