Have you seen our geohashing marker? We'd love to hear from you! Click here to say "hi" and tell us what you've seen!

Curious about what geohashing is? Read more!

Location

In a little clearing right next to a foot path in the woods surrounding the Jagdschloss Platte (sorry, german only).

Participants

Plans

Mampfred is coming home late from a business trip. Meetup planned for ~8pm, about a 30 minute drive and a bit of walking.

Expedition

Straight forward, we met up around 8pm and headed out. Our navigation system led us through half of Wiesbaden but we eventually got there and could drive even further than anticipated. The rest was an uneventful 800 meter walk in the dark. We left a marker, took some badly lit photos and headed back.

Tracklog
