Location
On a stream river called Hengstenbach surrounded by trees, at the eastern town limit of Dreieichenhain (suburb of Dreieich), in Offenbach district, Hesse, Germany.
This day’s weather: overcast with a hint of sunshine – it started raining between 16:00 and 17:00 (CEST).
Participants
- Green guy! (talk)
- Green guy!’s mother
- Green guy!’s father
- GeorgDerReisende
Plans
Green guy!
Due to this day being a Monday, unfortunately, many delightful restaurants are closed, leaving just a single option!
- Drive towards Dreieichenhain and have lunch at the restaurant of the sports center Turnverein 1880 Dreieichenhain (it closes at 14:00)
- Drive into Dreieichenhain and park next to the castle Burg Hayn in der Dreieich
- Go on a walk to visit the hashpoint
- note for GeorgDerReisende: An earlier time is not possible for us, mainly due to restaurant planning and my mother having an appointment in the forenoon.
- Walk around the castle
- Drive back home
GeorgDerReisende
For me it seems that the stream flows some meters north of the hash, but it looks all as private and closed area. But I will try it. I leave Kassel at 8:23, and will arrive at the bus stop Burg Hayn at 11:55. From there are some meters to the hash area. Look out for a man in yellow and black!
Expedition
Green guy!
A nice expedition, but we couldn’t reach the coordinates – a combination of a bit No Trespassing (many barriers) with mainly My Kingdom for a Boat (as the supposed stream turned out to be a river of several meters in width) made this unfeasible.
Note: Full report likely coming tomorrow!

I earned these for the first time from this geohash.

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