Location

The hashpoint lies in a forest area, about 15 meters away from the closest path, in Darmstadt-Dieburg county, Hesse, Germany; next to a nature reserve called Großer und kleiner Bruch bei Roßdorf. The two closest settlements are Traisa in south-west direction and Roßdorf in east direction.

Plans

Originally, I planned to reach the hashpoint from the north (coming from the secondary road L 3104). However, I realized that it is easier to reach from the south (coming from Traisa). Before Sunday church service at CGD (Christliche Gemeinde Darmstadt), I had just enough time to finish my plans, which included looking up good restaurants in the vicinity and planning the exact route for the expedition.

Expedition

Around 12:30 pm, after being done with this Sunday’s church service at CGD, my parents and I drove geohashing by car with no stopover at home: We took the Nieder-Ramstädter Straße (B449) headed towards – you guessed it – Nieder-Ramstadt. Then, we turned left onto a different Nieder-Ramstädter Straße which leads into the village of Traisa.

Because it was noon and we were hungry, we decided to first go to a restaurant before proceeding with the geohashing expedition. We decided on the Bürgerhaus Traisa because it was open at noon, offered an interesting-looking “sweet-and-sour chicken breast” dish and looked promising in general. The restaurant turned out to be very inviting and calm – despite there being numerous people, it was surprisingly quiet (which was really pleasant to me as I am highly sensitive to noise). Also, the restaurant’s premises were heavily ornamented with a variety of funny and inspiring proverbs, especially on the walls.

After eating our fill, we went on driving closer to the hashpoint and parked our car on the parking lot next to the golf course of Golf-Club Darmstadt Traisa and the Naturfriedhof Mühltal, a forest graveyard.

Starting from the parking lot, we went on a clockwise walking route to the hashpoint and back to our car: The sun was shining and there were birds singing in the forest, inducing a strong joy and awe of God(learn more about Him) and His creation. Similar to last time, I did the routine of taking some photos upon reaching the hashpoint. All in all, it was a wonderful time and afterwards I felt satisfied and ready for the next day, including vocational school.

(PS from Monday: This week of vocational school had an amazing start and I am motivated on finishing this report.)
