Beacon photo page's by Johan Veldhuis.  

Bremen NDB/OM HIG, May 6th 2009.

Wim and I had some difficulties to get at this beacon. The streets in the surrounding of this beacon are changed to keep traffic to the factories at distance of the residential area. We where standing at the street Osterhop and couldn’t find the connection with the Funkschneise. Our navigation system told us that we had to go for a few hundred metres, so we started walking. From a bicycle viaduct above a railway we could se the beacon at a distance. Google Earth was, when we where writing this text, still showing the connection of the two roads. But the built-in route planner did give a usable route. Oh, and Wim did choose a hotel without highway noises. It was very good placed on our route along the beacons. How good on our route? You can see that on the last photo on this page. Luckily it remained silence between 22.00 hour and 07.30 hour!

Route from A1 at exit 58a/b Dreieck Stuhr to HIG, ca 21.4 km – 22 min.
Start in easterly direction at the A1 and take after 13.3 km exit 55-Bremen-Hemelingen. Keep left at the fork and follow signs for Bremen-Hemelingen. Follow the Autobahnzubringer Hemelingen for 1.7 km and take the exit to direction An der Grenzpappel. Turn left onto the An der Grenzpappel and after 200 metres you turn right onto the Hemelinger Tunnel. After 900 metres turn right onto the B75/Sebaldsbrücker Heerstraße and follow this road for 2km. Turn right onto the Elisabeth-Selbert-Straße and follow this road over 1.9 km. The name of the street will change in Funkschneise and after 300 metres you find the beacon at the LHS of the road.
