Plans

to reach this hashpoint in the evening.

Expedition

After 6p.m. I drove towards the Hashpoint. Then near Jonschwil the road to the hashpoint area is only accessible for people with special permit...

So I parked the car in Jonschwil itself. From there I had to walk... After a few meters I remarked, that it would be a bit hard... because of the hilly foothills of the Alps here... I hadn't seen this on Google maps or OSM...

The first picture was made at the settlement of Jonschwil and we can see castle ruins behind the farmhouse up on a little hill with a white statue on top of it.

hiking signpost down at the street: "Burg" (=castle) with information about meters above sea level.

The next view is behind the Farmhouse where the "private" road goes on. very steep road... The pictures were made with the "night mode". So it got darker and darker... From the car (650) to the geohash (560) there was an altitude from 90 meters...

On the way I saw a sign about the "Thurweg"... it is a hiking trail from the source of the river Thur til the estuary ito the river rhine.

In the third view you can see the hashpoint somwhere behind the right lonely tree in the meadow.

The next sign is about the cows. Be friendly to them! (written in french, german and english) In the darkness I could only hear the sound of their cowbells around their necks but not the cows themselves.

When I arrived the bottom of the hill I had to notice that the hashpoint laid in a pasture for cows... Means no trespassing! The view is from the road over the fences toward the Geohash.

After a short break I made my way back up the hill through the dark...

On the way I took another photo up the hill and of another sign. What did it want to tell me?

Maybe I will do this sort of expedition again - maybe not...

And I drove away... with an unsuccessful expedition in my backpack...

Now when I report my expedition I will show you my way in a little map with elevation curves:

And at least a screenshot of my closest position...
