Expedition

2014-11-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 9673.jpg I took the bus from Ihringshausen to Wilhelmshausen, then I walked to the hash. The walk started with the cycle path along the national road. After 1 1/2 kilometers I entered the mountains.

The river Fulda and some trees.
2014-11-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 9689.jpg Here I heard some shooting from beyond. There was a shooting range and while I heard the shooting, I decided not to walk back but to Hann. Münden after the hash.

Some more meters and I found this rubble. Somewhere there is the hash. This light green looking moose is wet. It feels like deep water above the may be hard but sometimes muddy ground. I didn't like to walk on it. And several times I tried to walk under the trees, but the dark green moose is as dangerous as all the other ones.

Here the GPS told me about 13 meters to go. And I went 13 meters. And the GPS told me about 13 meters to go. And I ended at this horrible brook. One step too wide. A kingdom for a boat!

At this place I gave up. And I went back to the forest way. Seeing the friendly brook, I tried it again, but from this side. Again a fail.

2014-11-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 9739.jpg 2014-11-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 9744.jpg Then I walked to Hann. Münden. While the first three kilometers were easy forest roads, the last part was a steep muddy way and it got darker because of the sunset. An half hour later and it would have been a total mess. At last I had a view to Hann. Münden from above. I walked through the city, started to hitchhike at 17:10 and arrived at Kassel at 17:43.
