Initially, it was built as a sea mark - the Kugelbake in Cuxhaven.

Heute früh haben wir uns mit dem Halunder Jet von Hamburg aus auf den Weg gemacht, um noch einen schönen sonnigen Tag in Cuxhaven zu verbringen.
Das Cachen sollte dann natürlich auch nicht zu kurz kommen...
Danke fürs herführen.

Heute bei windigem Wetter und Niedrigwasser hier aufgelaufen, um eine Dose einzusammeln, die sozusagen zum Wettbewerb gehört. Dabei wurde auch dieser kleine Virtual nicht übersehen. Danke fürs Legen und (wahrscheinlich nicht so aufwendige) Pflegen.
