Fun Fact
This date is known as the International Day of Joy. Geohashing fits this theme very well as it’s a joyful activity.
Location
In a field, about 50 meters away from the closest agricultural road, in Darmstadt-Dieburg county, Hesse, Germany. The closest settlement is Groß-Zimmern in northeast direction.
This day’s weather: partially sunny and cloudy, warm (~23 °C)
Participants
- Green guy! (talk)
- Green guy!’s mother
- Green guy!’s father
Plans
- Drive to Groß-Zimmern in the early evening and park our car at the southwest edge of the settlement
- Go on a walk to visit the hashpoint (estimated hashpoint arrival between 17:15 and 17:30)
- Have a joyful dinner in a nearby restaurant
- Drive back home
Expedition
In a nutshell: We didn’t reach the coordinates in respect of the crops growing on the aforementioned field.[Is the No public access category correct in this case?] Which type of crop, you may ask? Keep reading!

The way there
We started driving towards Groß-Zimmern at 16:45. (Originally, I planned the expedition to start 30 to 60 minutes later, but we had to be done at 19:00 so my father can attend his prayer group.) While still in Darmstadt, we had to avoid some traffic congestion by turning left onto Erbacher Straße to reach the B26 motorroad.
Approaching the coordinates
Despite noticing many no-parking zones in the southwest residential area of Groß-Zimmern, we found a streetside place to park our car.
From there, it was a 1.5 kilometer walk to the hashpoint. On our way through a scenic landscape of fields and farms, we saw a lot of interesting and delightful details: Staying on agricultural roads, we got within a radius of 50 meters from the coordinates just after 17:30. As we didn’t want to trample any turnips (out of respect for the produce, the farmer and the law), we kept our distance from the hashpoint, with myself taking some interesting photos. While walking back to our car, we had some interesting topics to talk about while I was in awe of the whole agricultural system.
Dinner time not at Thessaloniki, but at Toscana
We originally eyed a Greek restaurant, Gaststätte Thessaloniki. On the way there, we faced a roadblock and had to take a detour via side roads to then park our car nearby. However, we were let down by the fact that the restaurant took a summer break – [rant begins]just why did they not announce it on their website?! I consider this to be rude![rant ends] Thank God we saw a different, promising-looking restaurant while bypassing the roadblock earlier. We left our car parked in the same spot and walked over to Ristorante Toscana. There, I once again enjoyed a Pizza Margherita – this time, it tasted really great! I had enough hunger to eat it whole – this doesn’t happen frequently!
The way back home
It went smoothly and I felt happy.
Final verdict
Agricultural awesomeness!
Postscript
As of writing this report on the following day, however, I am suffering from a hangover despite having slept long enough and – obviously – having stayed away from alcohol. That pizza seems to be the main culprit, as it likely overstrained my digestive system, causing fatigue.
