Location

In the residential area of Jügesheim (Rodgau), next to a foot-/cycleway, in Offenbach district, Hesse, Germany.

This day’s weather: mostly cloudy, 10–13 °C

Participants

Plans

  1. Drive to Jügesheim (Rodgau) in the noon
  2. Park our car nearby and go on a walk to visit the hashpoint (estimated hashpoint arrival at 12:50–13:10)
  3. Have lunch at Da Vinci Ristorante Gelateria
  4. Drive back home

Expedition

Reaching the coordinates and going for a walk

Upon arriving at Jügesheim, we entered the residential area from the west and quickly found a roadside parking space for our car. From there, we only had to walk a few meters to reach the coordinates. South of the hashpoint, you can see a flag of Germany on a roof.

  • "OruxMaps screenshot: standing on the hashpoint"

    Coordinates reached!

  • "metal fence in front of lawn, with paved footway behind"

    Actually, the hashpoint lies about one meter behind this fence, …

  • "paved footway to the right; fence with lawn and other footway behind"

    … but you can easily walk there from the other side. Oh, and there’s a 🇩🇪 German flag on the top right.

  • "selfie of myself, cloudy sky in the background"

    I didn’t do the funny grin in a long time! (Plus I did it in front of a flag!)

After that, we went for a walk in the west half of Jügesheim. Before arriving back at the car, we took a quick look at the evangelical Emmaus-Gemeinde Jügesheim (“Emmaus Congregation of Jügesheim”).

  • "paved footway surrounded by hedges and fences"
  • "grassy footway between bushes"

    I really like how beautiful this passage looks.

  • "garden flowers with yellow, magenta, orange and red blossoms"

    And these colorful flowers make it even prettier!

  • "paper sheets on notice board, refer to caption"

    Harvest festival announcement at the Emmaus-Gemeinde Jügesheim

Having lunch at the restaurant

As planned, my parents and I drove to Da Vinci Ristorante Gelateria. Upon arriving there, my mother was immediately excited as the restaurant looked really classy, since I tend to choose quality eateries for geohashing expeditions. When the waiter brought the menu [it’s bilingual, both German and English], I showed the funny part about deliberately incorporated print errors [correct translation would be misprints or typos] to my parents, causing delightful laughter.

  • "Pizza Margherita"

    Regarding our choices of lunch, I had an exquisite Pizza Margherita, this time with Edamer cheese! So yummy!

  • "schnitzel with brown cream sauce and french fries; also with side salad"

    My father ordered a Rahmschnitzel (“cream schnitzel”) with fries for himself.

  • "slices of tomato and mozzarella with lettuce, olives, balsamico vinegar and basil on top"

    My mother enjoyed an especially creative Caprese salad, featuring olives, balsamico vinegar and basil leaves!

The restaurant was so impressive to my mother that she asked me to compile this and other lovely eateries from our previous expeditions into a list, for visiting them in the context of future festivities.

After lunch

With our bellies being full, we went for another walk in the vicinity of the restaurant, visiting the Wasserturm (water tower) and the Waldfriedhof (forest cemetery) of Jügesheim on our way.

  • "road ornamented with tree rows"

    Relaxed residential avenue

  • "compacted footway, neighbored by trees, red tower in background"

    Approaching the water tower

  • "tower made of red bricks"

    The tower

  • "brick wall with info boards; water well on the left"

    Information boards to the left of the tower’s entrance

  • "entrance door on the left, miniature tower and water well on the right"

    Miniature tower to the right of the real tower’s entrance

After that, I got myself an ice-cream cone with two tasty scoops of ice cream (cookies and dark chocolate, respectively) and ate it on our way back home.

Final verdict

Nice and easy, after a long geohashing pause!

From now on, expeditions will happen more sporadically as there are a lot of other interesting subject areas in my life that I want to invest time in, such as work (computer programming), music, and reading TV Tropes.

Tracklog: Two walks

  • This tracklog is made of two segments (ignore the straight connection line between them):
    1. The southwest (bottom-left) loop shows our before-lunch walk to reach the coordinates.
    2. The northeast (top-right) loop shows our after-lunch walk.
  • Direction: anti-clockwise for both loops
  • GPS accuracy: good
  • Markers show all locations where I took photos (including some photos taken separate from the tracklog) – one of them is taken for OpenStreetMap surveying and not uploaded here.


Achievements

Recurring
