Location

The hash lies in a group of trees, looking like a public park, near the street In den Birken in Wuppertal-Katernberg.

Plans

I want to hitchhike to Wuppertal, trying to avoid the service station Am Haarstrang. Visit the hash, make then some sightseeing in Wuppertal, then returning home again by hitchhiking.

Expedition

By tram and bus I went to the junction Wilhelmshöhe, there after 15 minutes I got a lift to the service station Lichtendorf (with avoiding the service station Am Haarstrang). From Lichtendorf I got another lift within a minute to the junction Wuppertal-Katernberg. Then I took a bus to the street In den Birken, where then I was looking for the hash. At first I have found a steep valley and I thought about something like mother's nature, but then I decided to try a look from the other side. I went down the path, found another path, but haven't been near enough. So I decided to walk into the jungle, following a fence, to find the hash. The fence ended and I have made some steps over the border, and there it was. The hash. I have made some photos and then I returned to the path.

Then I have made a sightseeing to the city of Wuppertal. But the famous Schwebebahn had been closed until August, 12th, so I couldn't use it. After another walk I went to the service station Sternenberg, where I got a lift after ten minutes directly to the junction Wilhelmshöhe of Kassel.
