I moved all the old comments to User talk:Thomcat/OldTalk in February of 2014.

Germany 2014
Thomcat is in Frankfurt on Feb 22 for a Star Trek convention, and then must travel to Nürnberg on Sunday Feb 23. Is up for a geohash meetup anywhere in between, indirect route acceptable. Will have a backpack and one medium suitcase (it is a business trip after all). Potentials discussed so far include the following. Up for a meetup? Edit below or add suggestions. --Thomcat (talk) 11:07, 21 February 2014 (EST)
Mannheim
In the parking lot of a Shopping center. Via either the OEG interurban tramway or the Vogelstang from Mannheim.
Würzburg
Just NE of Eubigheim, trains run every two hours sporadically Monday to Friday only, and once in the late evening on sundays.
Schweinfurt
Schweinfurt hash would be reachable as well... small rural village (Leutersdorf) in southern Thüringen. Train station at Vachdorf.
Ticketing
The trains in Deutschland are not free. My routing is flexible, and purchasing all or part of a 44 € group ticket is within the budget. Exact route planning requires our destination, but feel free to suggest a common starting point here. --Thomcat (talk) 11:19, 21 February 2014 (EST)
Summary of reachable destinations
I checked them all :P --Ekorren (talk) 12:21, 21 February 2014 (EST)
Frankfurt graticule
A field
Accessibility: You never know about fields.
8 km from Wetzlar station
7 km from Dutenhofen station
Bus connection probably comes significantly closer, not researched
Fulda graticule
Forest, about 2.5 km from the village Gieser.
Accessibility: German forests are usually accessible.
Next train station > 10 km.
Bus connection: Not researched.
Schweinfurt graticule
Public "road" in the village Leutersdorf in southern Thüringen, quite remote.
Accessibility: Almost certain
3 km from station Vachdorf. Trains every two hours, quite a trip
Mannheim
On a parking lot of a large shopping centre near a motorway junction. Might not be a very romantic location. Near former american barracks.
Accessibility: Almost certain.
2 km from the tram stop "Vogelstang Endstelle" (Mannheim municipal tramway), 2.5 km from "Käfertal Wald" (OEG suburban railway/tramway).
Würzburg graticule
A field in the municipality of Ahorn (= maple)
Accessibility: There might be crop.
Theoretically 3 km from the station of Eubigheim, but Eubigheim has no train traffic on sundays. Sporadically there's a "bus" which only goes if prebooked.
Bamberg graticule
A forest, a trail, not much more.
Accessibility: Most certainly yes.
Dottenheim station is closest (5.5 km), Dietersheim and Ipsheim about the same (6 km). Bus connections getting closer don't run on sundays.
Not very far from Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Significant risk to meet Americans on the train.
Nürnberg graticule
You'll prefer one you didn't hash in already, won't you?
