Location
Büsingen am Hochrhein is a German exclave, a German village but completely surrounded by Switzerland.
Participants
- Ekorren tries to get there, ETA about 9:15-9:30
- TheOneRing - by public transport
Expedition
TheOneRing
I decided at quite short notice, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to visit this point. Unfortunately I didn't check this site before, otherwise I could have coordinated with Ekorren.
I left Berne around 11 o'clock and arrived at Herblingen near the geohash at 1 o'clock. Then there were only 1.5 km to walk, which was good, because the weather didn't look very promising. After a while I reached the Swiss-German border, which didn't look like a border at all. There was only a sign which marked the border line.
The geohash itself was quite easy to reach, it was in a forest but near the trail. I took the usual photographs and walked then back to the train station. Sometimes it rained a little bit, sometimes the Sun was shining. Confusing, I didn't know what to wear: a jacket or even take my pullover off.
There was a little bit of time while changing trains, so I walk through Schaffhausen and then got back to Berne. All in all it was very nice.
