BS top

Wow what a nice place! St Chrischona has an amazing view from where you can see up to 10 other summits. The campus is a theological school that hosts over 100 students. I just had the chance to talk for half hour with the director of the school which took me around the whole campus explaining the hostory and the current doings of the Chrischona society. Higly

The B day

nope, not my birthday, but the day I tackle 2 out of 3 of the cantons starting with B. Maybe you guessed it, I'm definitely not mixing Bern with another canton :) so today is the Basel Day!

The Säntis again

Time for some Appenzellerland again, this time Innerrohden. Destination the Säntis via Wasserauen with the skis. After some tests yesterday I found a ski carrying solution that might work even for longer trips. We'll see. For now, lets get on the bike and ride to my transition where I'll meet Giulia and two friends of her. So stay tuned for some more info and hopefully nice solar eclipse pics

Sunday trip to Zug

One of the biggest challenges of 27summits.ch is, belive it or not, finding the lowest point of a canton. In fact depending on the geography of the canton the lowest point might not actually be a point but a polygon (for example when the lowest point is a lake) or a line (when the lowest point is a canons border crossing orthogonally a river). Today 's lowest point is probably one of the trickiest ones.
