Location

Inside or at the wall of a service building next to a REWE supermarket, in Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany.

This day’s weather: rainy or sleety, windy, 4 °C

Participants

Plans

As this is the very first geohash in my home city since I discovered the sport, on my way back home from work, I wanted to take a detour and try reaching the coordinates. (My father regularly drives me back home from work.)

Expedition

After parking our car in the REWE supermarket’s underground parking, my father and I walked around the area, trying to find a way into the backyard where the coordinates lie. Swept by wind and rain, we checked numerous promising-looking entrances, but got stopped by a wall each time – apparently, there’s no way to reach that backyard without going through a building.

  • "inside car, driving into underground parking"

    Entering the underground parking

  • "paved footway, house on the right, wall in the distance"

    One of the promising-looking approach paths … but there’s a wall!

  • "concrete wall covered in an arch of ivy"

    And another wall! Though this one looks a bit like a passage from afar …

When we turned left from Gutenbergstraße onto Spirwesweg, it became obvious that the specific building part the hashpoint lies on is a service building, locked away from the public with door, gate and fence. Finally, we tried to get close to the coordinates from inside the underground parking, only to find more locked doors leading to that service building, one of them plainly being signposted with Zutritt für Unbefugte verboten (i.e. No Trespassing).

  • "gate with path leading to service building behind it"

    Gate and door of the service building

  • "building door with graffiti next to it"

    Closeup … how did the graffiti get there?

  • "building door, behind metal grid"

    View from inside the underground parking

  • "door with handle and sign: “Zutritt für Unbefugte verboten”"

    The classic German No Trespassing sign

After paying a parking fee of € 2.50, we drove back home.

Tracklog: Walking near the hashpoint

  • I forgot to immediately start the tracklog.
  • Direction: anti-clockwise
  • GPS accuracy: bad (no accurate depiction of walking indoors)
  • Markers show all locations where I took photos


Achievements

Recurring

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