Location

The hashpoint lies at the edge of a field, directly next to a shrub, a few meters away from the closest track (which isn’t mapped yet in OpenStreetMap) next to the Gersprenz river, in Aschaffenburg county, Bavaria, Germany. The closest settlement is Stockstadt am Main in east direction.

Participants

  • Green guy! (talk)
  • Manuel (a new friend and fellow of mine from CGD)
  • Green guy!’s mother (no consent to publish photos of her)
  • Green guy!’s father (no consent to publish photos of him)

Plans

  1. Drive to Stockstadt am Main after church service
  2. Go to a restaurant in Stockstadt for lunch
    • I wasn’t able to find any good restaurants which were open at noon – except for the Italian Trattoria Isola Bella, which looked really promising. I chose this one as the recommended option.
  3. Park on the parking lot next to Da Michele, an Italian-food delivery service
  4. Reach the hashpoint by foot and have a lot of fun and joy
  5. Finish the expedition by going back to the car to then drive back home

Expedition

Around 12:05 pm, after being done with this Sunday’s church service at CGD, I invited my new friend Manuel to participate in this day’s expedition. He quickly agreed, so my parents and I took him geohashing by car (again, with no stopover at our home): We took the B26 motorroad (trunk road) headed towards Dieburg, and kept driving straight on (leaving the motorroad, but staying on B26) through Babenhausen, crossing the state boundary from Hesse to Bavaria.

As planned, we went to the Trattoria Isola Bella to feed our empty bellies. The trattoria (which is a smaller, familiar-atmosphere version of a restaurant, according to their website) turned out to be really inviting and calm (which typically isn’t the case in our home city, Darmstadt, with there being a lot of noise in restaurants at noon in addition to the evenings). Also, the trattoria stands out for offering pinsa (a flatbread similar to pizza, but with the dough risen for 48–72 hours) in addition to pizza. I opted for a Pinsa Napoli (which is the pinsa equivalent to a Pizza Margherita) and Manuel decided on a pasta dish. All in all, it was a cozy meal.

After eating our fill, we went on driving closer to the hashpoint (traversing a level crossing in the process) and parked our car on the parking lot next to the Da Michele delivery service, as planned.

Starting from the parking lot, we went on a clockwise walking route to the hashpoint and back to our car: _____
