Missed Air Geohashes

This week, I was going to work in Austria for a few days, so in the morning, I flew from HAJ to VIE.

I kept my eyes open for Air Geohashes, and there were three instances where I got into a ten-km radius, but nowhere near close enough.

Expedition

Part of a Geohashing Spree

Trip to Wien
Wien-Ottakring · Wagram am Wagram · Allhang

At noon, I landed at Wien-Schwechat. It was too soon to check into my hotel, so I went on this expedition first. From the airport, I took the train to Wien-Mitte, the subway to Wien/Ottakring and walked the rest of the distance.

The coordinates were at the side of the street Effingergasse, next to a graffito. My GNSS reception was jumpy, it looked like I was jumping around between the northern and southern sides of the street. I did manage to zero in and record proof though.

Nearby, there is a Redemptorist Church with a Wikipedia article. I recreated the photo to the best of my abilities, and now I know why the picture used on Wikipedia was taken in winter.
