- Have lunch at Da Vinci Ristorante Gelateria
- 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.
Coordinates reached!
Actually, the hashpoint lies about one meter behind this fence, …
… but you can easily walk there from the other side. Oh, and there’s a 🇩🇪 German flag on the top right.
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”).
I really like how beautiful this passage looks.
And these colorful flowers make it even prettier!

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.
Regarding our choices of lunch, I had an exquisite Pizza Margherita, this time with Edamer cheese! So yummy!
My father ordered a Rahmschnitzel (“cream schnitzel”) with fries for himself.
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.

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):
- The southwest (bottom-left) loop shows our before-lunch walk to reach the coordinates.
- 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.
