Options for sunday along the way from Frankfurt to Nürnberg:
Würzburg (49,9)
A field at Wenigumstadt. There may be crop.
It's possible to reach Wenigumstadt by bus from Babenhausen and from Aschaffenburg about every two hours.
- Ekorren might check again but doesn't really believe he would join here.
Bamberg (49,10)
A field near Bergtheim. There may be crop.
Walking distance from Bergtheim station is about 3 km one way. Hourly local trains from Würzburg. Connections to Nürnberg via Würzburg or Bamberg.
Single ticket Würzburg-Bergtheim 4.60, daypass 8.25, Bayern-Ticket is valid.
- Ekorren would consider this one, but possibly go by bike from Würzburg.

Summarizing a few options for monday.
Ticket: Bayern-Ticket is a daypass for 23€ for one person, +5 each for more, up to 5 people. Name-bound, the first holder must also be the last and list all names of the other passengers.
Augsburg 48,10: Piece of forest in the countryside, most probably reachable.
5 km from Breitenbrunn station on the local Günzburg-Mindelheim line. Buses might come closer sporadically. Very remote, not really an option from Nürnberg.
München 48,11:
Germering, loud roadside in suburb, most probably reachable with a tolerance of about 1m
Good connections from Nürnberg with Bayern-Ticket: Nürnberg Hbf 910 -> Germering-Unterpfaffenhofen 1148
- Ekorren would consider joining (bus excursions to München are offered by two bus companies on monday)
Bamberg 49,10:
Agricultural track in the countryside, most probably reachable.
6 km from Feuchtwangen, 1.5 km from bus stops at Krapfenau or Zehdorf. Sporadic bus traffic to the latter two, mostly school buses which are open for public. Better connections to Feuchtwangen.
By bike 20 km from Schnelldorf or Dombühl.
VGN-daypass for all zones 18 € for one or two people.
- Ekorren would consider joining (possibly by bike from the state border)
Erfurt 50,11:
A few metres into a field in the countryside. There might be crop.
4 km from Mainleus station, 10 km from Kulmbach.
- Ekorren probably can't join because it's simply too far.
Chemnitz 50,12:
Frantiskovy Lazne, private property. Probably unreachable.

I should rename this a T(h)omcat talk page! Tuesday 2/24 in Nürnberg is quite decent, just south of a metal tint factory apparently. I would not walk it after spending 10 hours on my feet at a convention, however. If anyone would like to give me a ride to the geohash, I will be free after 6pm. --Thomcat (talk) 00:49, 25 February 2014 (EST)
2013 Graticule Visitors
I'll be in Nürnberg from 24 Feb 2013 through 1 Mar, and will definitely be checking the hash coordinates. Ping me on my user page for best response. --Thomcat 18:29, 12 February 2013 (EST)

A geohash less than 10 km from my hotel by the Altstadt. Going to figure out the Bahn options. Time is flexible - I have the whole day free. --Thomcat 10:40, 24 February 2012 (EST)
- Looks as though the nearby stops are Fürth(Bay)Hbf and Fürth (Bayern) Rathaus. The first is 1.17 km southwest as the crow flies, walk to the hash through the park, then walk back to Rathaus for a post-hash pub stop.
- Regarding the hash point, take a look at the satellite - it seems to be in a fenced in area. Can anyone provide more information? --Thomcat 11:13, 24 February 2012 (EST)
- Hi, welcome back - and thanks for the poke on my user talk page :) At this local site with better satellite imagery you can try the "Bird's Eye" views - it's definitely someone's garden with a hedge around it, not accessible unless you ask them ;) Pity it's a monday (i.e. I have an office to be at) and sunday's coordinates are much worse... --dawidi 11:27, 24 February 2012 (EST)
- I went, but did not go inside the hedge; expedition to be uploaded shortly. Better a failed hash than no hash, and it was nice to go for a walk :) --Thomcat 08:30, 4 March 2012 (EST)

I find it hard to believe that the last attempted geohash in this Graticule was by... me. The geohash for Monday February 25 is in Feucht, reachable by the S2 and S3 trains. Let's talk about plans! --Thomcat 09:44, 22 February 2013 (EST)
Re Tomcat's plans for 2009-02-26 49 11
I shall join you, if you really go. Let's just hope that day's coordinates aren't as far away as your Origin Geohash... although that would be an interesting project as well - but not if you intend to work during the day ;) --dawidi 15:39, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Fine - then this will be an at least-three-person-meetup. Origin GH: no way, this will be done in summer on a weekend :-) 2009-02-26-expedition is intended to be as fast and easy as possible.
