Participants

Calamus

Plans

Walk.

Expedition

It was most remarkable: After a long hiatus of virtually or literally unreachable hashpoints, two subsequent hashpoints were on Zurich territory, either in the town or very close to the border.

While Schlieren is a separate municipiality, it is mostly considered to be a suburb of Zurich. Due to the shortage of affordable living space and the train distance of ten minutes, many people working in Zurich moved there as an alternative.

Right now, Schlieren was littered, like the rest of the canton, with voting campaign posters for next Sunday's cantonal parliament and ececutive council elections.

Calamus didn't see much of it, though. Since the hashpoint was right next to the station, he hopped off the train, got his picture and caught the next one. He hadn't left his desk for more than an hour.
