Plans

It seems that the Hash wants to offend me, just Jumping up and down the Rhine valley. But I will catch him again tomorrow. I will go by train to Biebesheim, where I started today and walk through the Hash to Groß-Gerau.

I will be at the Hash around 4 pm.

Expedition

This is part three of this years hash-tour. Here you find the preceding and the following part.

		Todays cashpoint was in the north again, and I decided to continue my walk in Biebesheim, just continuing the way north where I turned to the south yesterday. I missed my gps-receiver when I came to the hotel yesterday, and I was quite sure that I left it in the hut near the Weschnitz. And since the walk from Biebesheim to Groß-Gerau wasn't to long, I decided to my train ride in Biblis and walk to the hut. So here are the stations of Bürstadt (500 m from the hotel) and Biblis.
		I had to return to the station in Biblis and I left my luggage in a nearby thicket, so I didn't have to wear it all the time. I took a picture, to proof that it has been there, but it was still there when I returned of course. After 40 minutes I reached the Weschnitz.
		I followed the rivulet for the next 30 minutes until I saw the well known hut again. I was a little nervous wether the rescue of my device would be successful.The Gadget just lied there and didn't make a sound (that is only half true as the display showed a message that energy is low and this is usually accompanied by a beep).
		I found the remains of a nearby castle, that was founded by the Romans more than 1500 years ago. On my way back I found the remaining of a power plant. They are bigger now but will be totally removed in less than 50 years.
		I returned to Biblis, bought some food and took the next train to Biebesheim, just another boring station. Some 15 minutes later I was back at the hash point I had visited 2 days ago. The sheep were still there (wiser than me).
		I crossed Stockstadt and reached the nature reserve Kühkopf-Knoblauchsaue (cowherd - garlic mead). And as promised the bottom was coated with bear's garlic. Later I found some meadows to.
I had to walk through some fields now and found several animals: rabbits	deers	and storks
...before I reached the hash. Which a broad grin I took pictures of the field, although it looks pretty much the same in any direction.
Wallerstaedten greeted me with a tree in blossom,	and bid me farewell with ice cream.	Soon I reached the hotel in Groß-Gerau.

After walking more than 36 kilometers today, I was quite exhausted, but rewarded myself with a great meal in the evening.

Tracklog

14 KM from Biblis to my garmin and back and another 22 kilometers from Biebesheim to the hash and further on to the hotel in Groß-Gerau.
