The Expedition

TheOneRing

I decided quite rapid to go to the geohash. Therefore I took the train to Olten (SO) and from there to Buckten (BL). You could already see the geohash from the train station, it was only approx. 500m away. It was located on a hillside, which was quite steep. Because of the sunny weather, I had a wonderful view over the countryside and a small brunch while watching. After taking the necessary proof photos I walked a little bit through the village taking some photos, and then going back to Olten by train.
