This graticule is quite tricky, because the biggest part lies in France, only a small fraction in Switzerland. Today, there was a geohash in Switzerland, like everywhere else close to the edge of the graticule. That's why I wanted to go geohashing and I was lucky with the weather. I took a train from Berne to Les Breuleux-Eglise via Neuchâtel, La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Noirmont. (I really don't know why some cities have an article in their name.)
Because the location of the geohash was special, the train station where I got off the train, lay in the neighboring graticule. From the train station it was only 1.1 km as the crow flies and slightly more than 2 km by foot.
The geohash itself lay on a meadow near a forest, so the surroundings consisted of grass and trees. I rather took some photographs from outside the forest to get an impression of the countryside. Really nice.
Because 2 km walking seemed to me far too little I did not walk back to Les Breuleux but on to Le Noirmont. The name is French for black hill, but the hills around were just green-brown. Thereafter I took the next train back to Berne via the same cities mentioned above.
