The Expedition
The OneRing
I decided to go by train to Zürich, Switzerland and from there with another train to Bassersdorf. The village itself is near the airport "Zürich-Kloten" which I recognized immediately, because every minute a plane was starting and flew over me. After arriving at the train station in Bassersdorf the geohash was approx. 2km in side te village. On the way I saw a cat but it ran away from me so I could not pet it. Finally the geohash was located on a hill, not on top but on a hillside. It was marked with a great flag of Switzerland, which stand 5m next to the geohash. The countryside was not very attractive and after taking the usual photos I left the place.
