Location

Close to Castle Elgg.

Participants

Chris 47 8

Plans

Bus 680 from Winterthur leaving 12:43 will bring me directly to the hash.

Expedition

Todays hash lied just a few hundred meters from a bus stop, pretty easy to reach. And it was very close to a medieval castle just above the town of Elgg. So i went there, maybe i could get a glimpse into the castle. Unfortunately, the castle turned out to be private property and inaccessible to public. And even worse, the tavern just in front of it was also closed. So i just walked into the field where the hash was, got the coordinates, and went back home without seeing anything exciting. Too bad!

Tracklog

no

Photos

The castle is private property.
The castle tavern was closed.
Coordinates reached.
My grey backpack indicates the hashpoint.
For the cattle.
Autumn shades.
