Location

In a woodland cemetery, in Saarbrücken.

Participants

Plans

I will take the train from Sélestat to Sarreguemines, then cycle across the border. I expect to reach the coordinates around 15:30.

Expedition

I cycled from Sarreguemines to Saarbrücken, on a bicycle road on the left bank of the Saar river. In Saarbrücken, I crossed the river and arrived to Waldfriedhof Burbach, a woodland cemetery. The section of the cemetery where the coordinates were located looked more like a forest than a cemetery. The graves were few and scattered and the paths surrounded by shrubs and brambles (with delicious blackberries).

After recording proof, I struggled to exit the city because most of the bridges in Saarbrücken are elevated highways built with regards for cyclists or pedestrians (which, for a city named Bridges on the Saar, is ironic).
