Plans

My first Geohash. The plan: just go and see whats there! :)

Expedition

A day off and nothing to do. While aimlessly surfing the internet, i came upon the geohashing website. A closer look on todays location reveals: It is only around 1km away from a train station! The decision was done quickly: lets do it!
So i quickly downloaded a GPS-app for my iPhone, printed a map and jumped on the next train. Only 1,5 hours later i was there! I crossed the sleepy town of Steinen in the canton of Schwyz, went a bit uphill behind the village, and immediately found the place. Success!
Unfortenately, there is only one train per hour back towards Zurich, so i had to wait for 45 minutes on the train station at a temperature of around 5°C. During that time, one train after the other passed the train station, which lies on the Gotthard line, one of the mayor train routes to cross the Alps.
