As planned, before it got too hot, a few minutes after 11 am, my parents and I drove to the parking lot next to the ''Wasserwerk'' (water works). After parking our car, we crossed the secondary road ''<span style="padding-right: 0.2em">L</span>3113'' and looked for a way to reach the coordinates. We tried the path at the small residential area, but it turned out to be driveway to private property with a locked gate to prevent trespassing.
 +
 
 +
With that knowledge, we walked back south and entered the forest from the roadside to then intricately make our way through the thicket. However, the shrubs were too dense at the location of our first attempt, so we tried again further south. Starting from there, it took a while to reach the coordinates, but we ultimately made it to the hashpoint and also managed to return safely to the roadside afterwards (except for a few ticks and minor scratches).
 +
 
 +
Back at our car, we decided to walk a little more by going south from the ''Wasserwerk'' and coming back.
 +
 
 +
Overall, it was a really adventurous expedition, according to my standard at this time. My parents stated that they never walked through a forest thicket like this one before and that I would be keeping them young (by taking them with me on such trips).

Location

In a forest area, about 60 meters away from the closest path (according to OpenStreetMap), in Darmstadt-Dieburg county, Hesse, Germany. The closest built-up area is the commercial park of Weiterstadt in south direction, over the Rhein-Main railway.

This day’s weather: sunny with a few clouds, warm, getting really hot and sticky in the course of the day

Participants

  • Green guy! (talk)
  • Green guy!’s mother (no consent to publish photos of her)
  • Green guy!’s father (no consent to publish photos of him)

Plans

  1. Drive near the geohash before it gets too hot and sticky! (likely around 11 am)
  2. Park our car next to the Wasserwerk (water works)
  3. Go on a forest walk to visit the hashpoint
  4. Drive back home

Expedition

As planned, before it got too hot, a few minutes after 11 am, my parents and I drove to the parking lot next to the Wasserwerk (water works). After parking our car, we crossed the secondary road L3113 and looked for a way to reach the coordinates. We tried the path at the small residential area, but it turned out to be driveway to private property with a locked gate to prevent trespassing.

With that knowledge, we walked back south and entered the forest from the roadside to then intricately make our way through the thicket. However, the shrubs were too dense at the location of our first attempt, so we tried again further south. Starting from there, it took a while to reach the coordinates, but we ultimately made it to the hashpoint and also managed to return safely to the roadside afterwards (except for a few ticks and minor scratches).

Back at our car, we decided to walk a little more by going south from the Wasserwerk and coming back.

Overall, it was a really adventurous expedition, according to my standard at this time. My parents stated that they never walked through a forest thicket like this one before and that I would be keeping them young (by taking them with me on such trips).

Back at home, my mom checked everyone for ticks – she found two on my body which were trivial to remove (as they didn’t have much time). As this expedition worked up a sweat on all of us and because the weather is hot, we took refreshing showers.

Tracklog: Walking to the hashpoint

  • I started the tracklog in the car near Weiterstadt and stopped it when coming back to the car after the expedition.
  • GPS accuracy: medium
  • Markers show all locations where I took photos – a few of them are taken for OpenStreetMap surveying.


Pictures

Initial plan

  • Our car, parked next to …

  • … the Wasserwerk (water works)

  • Roadside walking north (the road is off-screen to the right)

  • Initially considered “path” to approach the hashpoint … but no trespassing!

Going into the forest

  • Roadside walking back south

  • First attempt to enter the forest

  • Second attempt with a lot of shrubs to go through at first …

  • Getting close

  • Looking east from the hashpoint

Leaving the forest

  • Going back

Overtime
