Plans

I wanted to travel by bus to the Habichtswald, then walking to the hash.

Expedition

2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1286.jpg 2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1291.jpg I left home at one o'clock. Took the tram 3 until its terminus Druseltal and then the bus 22 to the stop Loipenhaus. There I started to walk. Across a meadow beneath I saw some last shades of fog, blowing away by the wind.
2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1292.jpg 2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1297.jpg This was the today's quality of the forest paths. Snow and ice. Always experienced with muddy forest ways, this was some total else. Another type of walking. Don't looking to the way and slip... Looking at the way and seeing the different sorts of white and understanding the different sorts of danger. Switch from the middle of the path to its side and back.
2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1306.jpg But I made it. Now 600 meters to hash, but one mile of walking.
2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1307.jpg 2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1308.jpg Another forest way, now tarred, going downhill. Some icy portions. Now laying in the sun, I thought for my way back, there might be ice, after the sun went away.
2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1312.jpg Then this way. What will it look like in spring or in summer? Today it was a less muddy way, because the ground and the pavement were frozen. Good to walk. Bad in summer. Or after the melt.

2015-01-01 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 1327.jpg While walking to the hash, this way looked less dangerous. But it was the same.
