Expedition

2014-03-07 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 6582.jpg 2014-03-07 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 6586.jpg I started at home at 12 o'clock, took the trams 7 and 8 to Kaufungen-Papierfabrik (paper plant) and started there to hitchhike at 12:45. After some minutes I got a car to Hess. Lichtenau, I passed there the city, then after some minutes again I got a car to Spangenberg, where I arrived at 13:45. Then I walked for three kilometers along the country roads and after crossing a meadow I entered the forest.

So I tried at first to walk across the ridge, but I found out that there was a deep valley and I could not enter the valley from my side. But I could see the raptors, making something like haymaking but with big trees.

2014-03-07 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 6646.jpg After a long walk around the hill and through the forest I entered the fields of Spangenberg and from the first place I had a good view to the castle of Spangenberg.
