Location

In the Southern parts of the village of Ampermoching, North of München and just about 4 km from the train station in Hebertshausen.

Participants

Zb

Plans

A nice little detour on the way back from a work-related visit to a town near Rohrbach (Ilm). Geohashing is such a great excuse for routine-killing activities.

Expedition

Nice walk. The spot was in someone's garden. I came close but didn't reach the exact coordinates.

Zb's boss-assigned duties of talking tech stuff with nice folks at one of his company's suppliers in a town in the Hallertau were done even earlier than expected. A friendly co-worker dropped Zb off at the train station in Rohrbach and Zb decided that perfect sunshine was yet another reason to not take the direct route back to München. Instead of just staying on the train all the way home, he changed over to the local train in Petershausen and got off at Hebertshausen, from where it was a walk of less than 4 km to the coordinates. Despite the really cold wind blowing from the East and the exact spot being inside of a private garden, this expedition provided all the necessary ingredients for a nice afternoon.

Photos

Leaving Rohrbach(Ilm). Let the amazingness begin!
Proof of date: 09.03., on board RE 35929.
Changing over from the RegionalExpress (left) to the suburban train (right) in Petershausen.
Getting off in Hebertshausen.
Walking along a semi-frozen creek next to the Amper.
The end of the cold season is near.
If I read the sign right, the Amper will go into the Isar 59.4 km downstream from here.
The Amper just South of the coordinates.
Just about here, planes into München Airport make the final turn for landing. Note: A lot of planes into München Airport are small and go to places that have awesome train connections. If one slot on the runway is used by less than 50 passengers, I sure see why the progressivists want their third runway built.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, München Airport uses parallel approaches. Please don't worry about the other plane next to us, we do know they're there."
Another final turn: Into the street where the coordinates are.
The spot is right next to the balcony.
Back at the Amper: There's a little stream gauging station with nice explanations.
The water has come a long way.
How the gauge works: Air is pumped through a plastic hose to the bottom of the water. The higher the water, the more pressure is needed for pumping the air. Thus, measuring the air pressure tells us how deep the water is. Yay scientific!
How to classify floods and a list of past floods.
If everything else fails...
The Amper, again.
The wind was very cold and there's ice on the water, ...
... but spring is 'round the corner.
