The Place

The geohash is in Bassersdorf near Zürich.

Who Went

TheOneRing - by public transport.

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 inside the 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.

-Unfortunately I have to work on that Sunday so maybe I cannot go. Bassersdorf has a train station and if it is possible I will go there by train in the afternoon. The hashpoint itself is at in a meadow near a residential area, so it is possibly publicly available.
