FKK Oase - Burgholzhausen

The FAQ listed GPS Lat and Long for this place. But when I add them to TomTom I end up way to the west of ober-erlenbacher and Friedrichsdorf or Burgholzhausen. Not sure what to trust now.

--I paid 65 euros to enter Oase. That was a mistake in my report, which I have now corrected.

--The burly men who hung around the bar were clearly bouncers/security guards. They wore Oase t-shirts, jeans and shaved heads. There were at least 3 of them, and this was the middle of the afternoon. I never saw them step more than 10 feet away from the bar. They were either hanging around the entry door, at the bar or just behind the bar by that mystery door to the kitchen that every girl seemed to be entering when they arrived.

--Euro 100, not sure why you are defending that girl. It was her, not me, with the attitude. NO, I was not in a "bad mood" when I approached the girl chatting with her friends. She was just a rude surly little *****. In hindsight, I wish I had given her a piece of my mind and reported her to the front desk. In fact, I never saw her pull ANYONE the entire night. It seemed like she just went to the club to hang out naked with her friends and smoke cigarettes.

Obviously I hit a nerve with Oase lovers. But I have no intention of going back. You know what they say about first impressions. I'll stick to the Palace. To each his own.

Jack[/QUOTE]Jack,

Same issue here. I think that there is a typo in the Lat/ Long. I went to World instead because I did not want to chance getting lost. The world was not the easiest to find either (with 2 GPSs running, the BMW GPS and my Tom-Tom). Good luck!

...to get you anywhere. Buy a map, get driving instructions from this website (it probable is written at least 5 times) or online mapping services like [url]www.map24.de[/url] or [url]www.viamichelin,com[/url] and study the roads on the map before you get into your car.

If you use GPS it should only be as a security blanket for you to make your life easier, but you need to be prepared, on any trip that you make anywhere, to get yourself out of a jam. You can't do that if you can't find your own position on a map and don't know where your destination is on a map.

I can't find the link right now, but I recently saw a website which shows pictures of cars, whose drivers followed only the advice of the GPS device, and ignored their own eyes and common sense, in the false belief that the GPS device had to be correct. It wasn't, and the results were costly.

KD and Jack,
It's been well-documented on this thread that using GPS to get to Oase can be very problemmatical. It's in the middle of nowhere, the official street address is very misleading, and there's a similar sounding street not that far away. Don't give up- we all found it as have thousands of other mongers, and it's part of the thrill of discovery.

i go one step farther besides maps, knowing the streets and gps...i also find several small side streets near the destination and program those into the gps. if it doesnt get you to the exact destination you have some backup destinations to try to see if you can get your bearings and get closer.

note...for oase there are several streets north of oase that are either dead ends or small side streets. if you cant find oase but can find the streets that are north of the club you can then head south and keep your eyes peeled.

[QUOTE=Ky Daddy]Same issue here. I think that there is a typo in the Lat/ Long.[/QUOTE]Not a typo, those coords have worked perfectly for me, and just now I double-checked by entering them into Google Earth and I was taken right to the roof of Oase (Google Earth rocks).

So there must be some other reason for your problems, maybe related to the way your gps interpret latitudes and longitudes - see the FKK FAQ thread, I'll post a possible solution in response to your post there.

Real men drive stick shift and don't use GPS... ;-)

She told me that she would be returning sometime in early to mid May.

That's what I used to say when I couldn't afford a car with GPS and multitronic. ;-)

Correct, GPS will not always get you right to the door by itself. I have gone to both World and Oases many times both with and without. I always think I know the way, but it is very easy to make a wrong turn. GPS helps eliminate most of the wrong turns. But having a good map and written directions also helps and I usually will have both in the car.

Since I am normally going to these place at night and often in bad weather, the GPS provides an extra layer of security and usually makes the drive safer. Anyone who thinks driving and trying to read a map or directions is safer, hasn't done a lot of driving with a GPS system. Of course, like anything else, if you start staring at the screen instead of the road you will get yourself into trouble.

Has anyone noticed that the gps signal in Germany is a bit on the weak side at times (especially at night)? I never have any problem using the small antenna in the states on my unit...but in Germany I attach the magnetic roof mounted extension to ensure I have a strong signal.

That's because at night in Germany your antenna between your legs is constantly standing at attention, thus diverting all of the signal strength ;)

Took one for the team and sampled some new talent. Sonja was there but I resisted.

1. Laura-Donna Romanian, brunette, pretty face, somewhat of a gut. Did not click w/her for some reason. I think the gut kinda of turned me off - my gut or hers some might ask : ) She was initiating DFK, for those of you who like that.

2. Betina - I asked her to repeat the name and that's what she calls herself. Hungarian, slim, nice tits, mole on left upper lip, brunette. She kept holding the base of my dick during mish to avoid deep penetration - fellas, I ain't big - I would avoid.

I'm tired, 2 or more sessions every night since I got here last Thurs. But how
often am I in Germ? I was gonna go up to Duseldorf but F my rental car. I'll just keep rotating between the Frank 3.

If that's the case I should be receiving the gps signal from Brazil as well ;-)
