While checking the coordinates for the weekend I have noticed that one of the Sunday's points fall near the eastern border of the graticule located west of my home one, which I had not visited yet, close to the center of Katowice metropolitan area. It looked very promising at the first glance and I felt really excited when clicking the zoom button, eager to see if it falls in some accessible area or maybe within a closed industrial complex - and hurray! While it was not super-easy, it looked quite doable for a GPS-challenged geohasher like me.
It was located north-east of Witosa apartment complex in the western part of the city of Katowice, close to the A4 motorway leading to Kraków, so it was easy to get there even if it was further than all my previous geohashing destinations. On the map view it looked like a place near two buildings, one rectangular and one L-shaped, but when I have switched to satellite view I was surprised to see a patch of green; however when fully zoomed in it looked like there were concrete foundations present there, matching the map shapes, but partly overgrown with grass and bushes. The hash point was located betwen two prominent trees. The 3D view was also available and it provided a better survey.
