Location

On a meadow northeast of Fürth, on the side of an unimproved track road, in Bergstraße (“mountain street”) county, Hesse, Germany.

This day’s weather: sunny with a few clouds, about 25 °C

Participants

Green guy! (talk)
Green guy!’s mother
Green guy!’s father

Plans

Drive to Fürth in the noon
Park our car next to the public bath Freibad Fürth/Odenwald
Go on a walk to visit the hashpoint (estimated hashpoint arrival at 13:30–13:45)
Have lunch at a restaurant
Drive back home

Expedition

The way to Fürth

Due to a road block, it took a few minutes longer than expected to get out of our hometown Darmstadt, which was of no consequence, however. My parents and I drove to Fürth via A5 and B460. As planned, we parked our car on the parking lot of Freibad Fürth/Odenwald at about 13:30.

Reaching the coordinates

Walking from the parking lot, we crossed the road next to the roundabout and then had to duck under a single-wire fence (most likely a temporary fence to contain livestock), making our way on a grass-grown track road.

You can’t see the wire on the photo …
Crossing over the Weschnitz stream
Hashpoint ahead, cattle in background

After crossing over the Weschnitz, we reached the coordinates, which were grown over by knee-tall grass, at 13:38. It was warm and sunny and there were some cattle about 40 meters from us.

Coordinates reached!

Zooming in on the cows

Making our way back to the car was simple, reaching it at 13:45.

The Weschnitz, looking northeast (against the flow)

Having lunch at the restaurant

Next, we drove to Europa Ristorante & Bar to have lunch. We had a good lunch there, except for some tobacco smoke drafting in from outdoors at the end.

My father’s lunch: Jägerschnitzel (escalope chasseur) with french fries
My own lunch: once again, it’s pizza …
My mother’s lunch: feta cheese with tomatoes and other veggies

The way back home

We contemplated to go for an additional walk in some park or forest after lunch, but we ultimately decided against it, as I cannot handle too many different activities in a single excursion and we were feeling somewhat tired from lunch and sun. The way back home was relaxing and not worth mentioning.

Final verdict

Successful short sashay!

Tracklog: Walking to the hashpoint

GPS accuracy: good
Markers show all locations where I took photos (including some photos taken separate from the tracklog) – some of them are taken for OpenStreetMap surveying and not uploaded here.

Achievements

Recurring

I already earned these from an earlier geohash, but fulfilled the conditions again on this one.

Green guy! earned the OpenStreetMap achievement

by contributing [1] to OpenStreetMap based on their expedition to the (49, 8) geohash on 2024-07-22.

Green guy! earned the Land geohash achievement

by reaching the (49, 8) geohash on 2024-07-22.
