Location
In a forest area, about 30 meters away from the closest track road, in Offenbach county, Hesse, Germany. The closest settlement is Neurott (a suburb/quarter of Langen) in southeast direction.
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
Not in the mood for thorough planning, so it’s quick and dirty:
- Drive to Neurott in the afternoon
- Might be a bit difficult to park our car there …
- Go on a walk to visit the hashpoint
- Visit a nearby cafe and/or do the groceries
- Drive back home
- (Enjoy the rest of Holy Saturday)
Expedition
My parents and I drove to the quarter of Neurott. As expected, it was a bit tricky to find a spot to park our car there, but we were successful after a short while.
It was also a bit tricky to find a spot to actually leave the residential area and enter the forest, as OpenStreetMap shows quite a lot of barriers. We found a way and successfully walked to the hashpoint, reaching coordinates a few minutes after 4 pm CET. (I’m mentioning the time zone because the kind-of-useless CEST, better known as daylight-savings time, takes effect the next day.) While walking back to our car, I had the opportunity to trace a path which is not mapped yet in OpenStreetMap. Also, I surveyed another spot that didn’t look possible to trespass due to a construction site, but actually was.
After finishing our expedition, we felt like enjoying some cake and/or ice cream in a café in Langen. My parents opted for the family-operated EisAnita which offers home-made pastry and ice cream, and so we drove there. Because it was still March, there was no ice cream available, so we savored coffee and cake. It was a calm and nice place.
Tracklog: Walking to the hashpoint
- Direction: south => north for a while => west => north (reaching hashpoint) => south => east (via a path not mapped yet in OSM) => south => east
- GPS accuracy: medium–good
- Markers show all locations where I took photos (including some photos taken separate from the tracklog) – nearly all of them are taken for OpenStreetMap surveying and not uploaded here.
Pictures
Almost at the hashpoint
Coordinates reached
The hashpoint’s forest floor
Funny grin
A slice of home-made marble cake at EisAnita, accompanied by a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice
Achievements
Recurring
I already earned these from an earlier geohash, but fulfilled the conditions again on this one.
 |
Green guy! (talk) earned the Land geohash achievement
|
And no, drag-along doesn’t count as recurring because my parents are now sort-of familiar with the concept of geohashing (apart from not comprehending the Algorithm’s details).
