My plans for the day got cancelled, so I had time to go there in the afternoon. I checked the time two minutes too late to catch the train and didn't want to wait another 30 minutes, so I cycled there instead and planned to take the train on the way back. After 10 km, I came to a closed gate which Google said I should pass through, and I saw some people climbing over it, so I assumed that this was usually a public path and lifted my bike across. The path went through an unexpected dune-like landscape of white sand I did not know was there, then on along a cow field. At the end came another gate, which was necessary for the cattle and after which I expected to be on public ground, so I went over it again – but only a few hundred metres further came another signless, lower fence across the path! This was already at the edge of the hashforest, and I didn't want to go back over the gates and try to the hash approach from the south, so I clambered across again and continued along the overgrown path between the forest and a short moor-like stretch on the other side, heaving the bike over fallen trees several times.

1.5 km from the first gate, I reached an abandoned building, which probably belonged to the nearby prison (''Justizvollzugsanstalt Glasmoor''). I parked my bike and went into the forest. I was wary of workers or even guards: The hash was only 110 m from the prison fence, and I wasn't sure this part of the forest was publicly accessible from the north-east (though I did reach a hash 800 m north-east in the same forest, [[2020-01-22 53 10]], without problems). When I heard a dog bark in the distance on my way through the forest, I already began to mentally prepare my explanation, though I knew I couldn't be seen from the prison, and at worst they could discover my bike. After 350 m, partially along the edge of a field several metres below the forest, I reached the coordinates.

The hashdance took a while, as it often does in forests, but I got an acceptable reading and took pictures with Jackie & Eagle before walking back to my bike, which fortunately had not been discovered. I wondered whether I could just cycle past the prison on the road or whether there was a gate, but after only 100 m I saw some people at the farm which lay in front of the prison and chickened out, instead taking the same route back across the three fences and gates. From the last gate, I cycled 3 km through the ''Norderstedter Stadtpark'' to Moorbekhalle station, where I had to wait six minutes for the next train.

Am busy during the day, but will cycle there in the evening.

Might be a good location for MikroKosmos too.

MikroKosmos

Yes, it's really nearby. But I expect the hash is lying in restricted area. There are signs "Gefängnis Glashütte, Betreten verboten" around. So, I'm not sure wether I'll try.

N53° 42.553 E010° 02.385 - I expected the hash would lie in restricted area, the forest-working area of the prison. From two sides I tried to find a legal way, but there were signs "Gefängnis Glashütte, Betreten verboten" around. Violating a prison-area didn't seem to be a good decision. So I went home without reaching the hash.

My plans for the day got cancelled, so I had time to go there in the afternoon. I checked the time two minutes too late to catch the train and didn't want to wait another 30 minutes, so I cycled there instead and planned to take the train on the way back. After 10 km, I came to a closed gate which Google said I should pass through, and I saw some people climbing over it, so I assumed that this was usually a public path and lifted my bike across. The path went through an unexpected dune-like landscape of white sand I did not know was there, then on along a cow field. At the end came another gate, which was necessary for the cattle and after which I expected to be on public ground, so I went over it again – but only a few hundred metres further came another signless, lower fence across the path! This was already at the edge of the hashforest, and I didn't want to go back over the gates and try to the hash approach from the south, so I clambered across again and continued along the overgrown path between the forest and a short moor-like stretch on the other side, heaving the bike over fallen trees several times.

1.5 km from the first gate, I reached an abandoned building, which probably belonged to the nearby prison (Justizvollzugsanstalt Glasmoor). I parked my bike and went into the forest. I was wary of workers or even guards: The hash was only 110 m from the prison fence, and I wasn't sure this part of the forest was publicly accessible from the north-east (though I did reach a hash 800 m north-east in the same forest, 2020-01-22 53 10, without problems). When I heard a dog bark in the distance on my way through the forest, I already began to mentally prepare my explanation, though I knew I couldn't be seen from the prison, and at worst they could discover my bike. After 350 m, partially along the edge of a field several metres below the forest, I reached the coordinates.

The hashdance took a while, as it often does in forests, but I got an acceptable reading and took pictures with Jackie & Eagle before walking back to my bike, which fortunately had not been discovered.
