In short: Wanted to run and walk to the hash and back, had to stop running after 1 hour and about 10 km because I suddenly experienced massive digestive problems (after having eaten too many onions and leeks the day before).

Returned just in time to catch the last reasonable tram. Back home, comparing my photos to the outdated satellite imagery, I realized that in the last years, an exact copy of the parking lot I used for orientation must have been built 130 m to the east, and the other one had been replaced by two office buildings.

Expedition

Expedition total: 3.5 hours, walked 16 km

In short: Wanted to run and walk to the hash and back, had to stop running after 1 hour and about 10 km because I suddenly experienced massive digestive problems (after having eaten too many onions and leeks the day before). Needed 1.5 hours for the remaining 5 km to the hashpoint. Went to a point south of a distinctive parking lot, just like the satellite imagery shows, and felt lucky that the field was already harvested. Walked to a nearby tram station to find out the ticket machine only accepts coins. Walked back to a supermarket to change my 5-Euro bill into coins. Returned just in time to catch the last reasonable tram. Back home, comparing my photos to the outdated satellite imagery, I realized that in the last years, an exact copy of the parking lot I used for orientation must have been built 130 m to the east, and the other one had been replaced by two office buildings. I walked to a Potemkin hash. Oh well.
