Plans
I was not quite sure if I would have time to do this one. Eventually my schedule cleared and went for this hash. Go somewhen in the late morning, and try to reach it in 2 hours. Then come back. If in the mood, find a few caches on the way back.
Expedition
As I said, I wasn't quite sure I would have time today for this hash. It is not exactly close, but it has more or less direct and fast paths towards it. I calculated that in maybe two hours I could reach it. And today it is not so warm (21ºC), and not really windy, so good weather to ride my bike.
Well, I ended up having free time today, so I went after it. I grabbed Winterbuche at... 13:00, and brought some lunch with me (this may be a solid proof that I am not really German but south-european since I hadn't had lunch, yet, at 13 ;) ). The first part until Kemnitz is very well known. I take this path many many times, but right after Kemnitz, in Neuendorf, I took some new roads, turning east. Here I passed by some little settlements, Stiltow, Gustbein, Pritzwald and reaching Rubenow. Actually, in Gustbein I took the wrong road (well, not the one I had in mind) and it can bee seen in the Tracklog how I pass by Wusterhusen. Luckily I corrected it fast enough ¿^^.
In Rubenow I found some confusing signs (Hauptstraße pointing everywhere), but taking the main road was what I needed. And suddenly turn left (south). Here I was in between fields and luckily enough this path leaded me directly towards the hash. It fell in the middle of some hay bale storage area. It took 1:30, better as planed :) And here I had finally something to eat. It is probably the lamest picnic you can imagine, see picture, but that is all I gathered quickly at home. I also didn't to bring too much weight. The bag makes me sweat enough as it is...
After that I still had energy for some caches (well, I had to have energy to ride back home). First I went by a funny location. A Cow-Milk-Filling Station. Like a Gas Station but instead of Gas, you buy Milk. Directly from the... cow farm. You can't get it more pure ;)
After that, I went to search for a last cache, and took the same path home. Well, the path I planned, correcting the error I made going here. I loaded some podcasts on my phone and heard them while I approached Kemnitz and Greifswald again, reaching home at... 17h. Nice expedition.

The field looked beautiful.
Excuse me Mr, could you tell me in which direction is the Hauptstraße?
Hash point in the hay storage area.
Exactly here, to be more precise.

My lame picnic: three sandwiches and some water. Please don't judge me.
Got milk?
