Thank you! Although I've watched and somewhat enjoyed a few of your compilation videos, your GeoGuesser endeavours really aren't my cup of tea. Until Sunday, when I'll watch your adventures while enviously telling myself I was too old for that kind of nonsense.
First point, me, as a Swiss, proudly and happy that I might know this: "Ah, I think that is Interlaken, but no way an Englishman will get this without clues" GeoWizard, after 0.057284 seconds: "This might be Interlaken"
Fun fact: Laufen, where you were headed towards in round 2, is where the hard candy Ricola originates. My dad grew up in the neighbouring house to the Richterich family, who founded the company. Ricola is an abbreviation for Richterich Company Laufen.
🇨🇭🇨🇭♥️ As a long time fan it's so nice to see my country represented on your channel! I'm still sad I couldn't help you out with the bicycles on your tour.
@@iceni6409 you don't have to be a millionaire, as long as you have good education or can handle a screwdriver you'll get a job and will be able to live here😉
Oh man this hit right in the feels. I'm very privileged, but I've been going to Switzerland every year since I was born, for a family tradition going back 70+ years (my grandparents started going as teenagers) I'm 22 now, and because of the state of life, this will be the first year of my life I won't spend the summer there. Heartbroken and missing it, but this video certainly filled a little mountain shaped hole in my soul :) ❤️❤️
@@MrUlf1337 we don't, we have rented the same apartment every year! Tradition started as camping every year, and after time, and some more money coming in, we started renting the apartment that was owned by the lady who owned the campsite :)
For me the funny thing is that it's 20 mins from where I live :-D "la Lucelle" is a big stream, flowing from a lake with the same name, along the France/Switzerland border. When approaching Kleinlützel, its official name is thus "Lützel", and it flows through the village. I have friends living there ;-)
@@gubblfisch350 well “lützel“ isn't used anymore in high german. But you can find it in many names of places and in some dialects. It is related to the low german “lütt“ and the english “little“. Also the name of Luxembourg has the same origin as this word, its name meant “small castle“.
That’s amazing! I live in Gams and the Hotel Ochsen in Grabs isn‘t on the map because the building has been replaced with the pizzeria. New building etc.
7:43 The "SO" stands for the canton of Solothurn, that’d be an easy way to find the place on the map. An other thing you missed were all the yellow PostBus stop signs.
True, one of the first ways to find yourself in Switzerland is to remember the two-letter abbreviations for every canton. In his defense though, have you seen how chaotic the borders of Solothurn are?
Yeah, Streetview is annoying here because they can't show any schools, and when you factor in all kindergardens, primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, universities etc there aren't any long sections of road that they could publish.
help9110111 Yes, most countries have some laws to regulate Streetview, here in Switzerland it‘s mainly a list of builings they can‘t show (schools, courts, prisons...) and the camera mustn‘t be positioned more than 2 meters above ground (so it can‘t peek over fences and stuff). This differs from country to country, for example Streetview got introduced in Austria only like 2 months ago after a change in privacy laws.
Spucky 123r that’s crazy to hear from my countries laws. I’m sure there was enough complaints or people worrying to cause that to happen. Here nothing is blurred out or restrict buildings to my knowledge. Thanks for telling me
Today’s adverts were for:- Claritin - antihistamine BMW cars Canesten - thrush cream/combi Cadbury’s ice creams Tick treatment Flipper - Energy switching company I do hope that many people also enjoy their personalised advertisements, I like chocolate and ice cream, although I’ve been unable to leave my home since March 16th so I’m not able to buy any, the other products I’m unlikely to use.
When you catch a fleeting glimpse of a Swiss flag, and say to yourself "Oh, so we are in Switzerland!", then you do a mental facepalm - "Oh, right, we already know that in this one" :D
I usually watch your Mission across Wales videos only, but this time I had to watch the full episode because I am from Switzerland. It's inspiring how you track down the exact position on the map. It wouldn't be much simpler for me as a Swiss to pinpoint all those locations. Also, some names are used multiple times across Switzerland - it can be hard. Well done, mate.
Swiss pro tip : When going out of a village/city, always turn arround when you see the end of 50kmh limitation sign and do as if you wanted to go back in. That way you will know for sure the name of the village you were in. Because when you're leaving, the name written in your direction is the name of the next village you will cross, and not the name of the one you were in. Also you should double check more the yellow signs you see on the side of the roads. These are postal buses stop signs, they will always give you the name of your actual location. Also when you entered Kleinlützel, you can see "SO" under the name of the village. That's the abreviation of the canton (region) you're in, this can help too :)
on signs at the beginning of new villages are two letters (for example SO) if the village is on the border between two cantons these stand for a canton(in this case solothurn) could be really helpful sometimes☺️
If you happen to visit Unterseen you should absolutely have a meal in the Steinbock! One of my favourite restaurants around here! ;-) Glad you found my home town!
the first one is the 2. bridge to unterseen in interlaken (west), beatenberg is the village on the left lake side on the hill, spiez is on the middle of the right lake side and steffisburg is on the other end of the lake, beyond thun, those red singposts are bike ways
Hahha, my father lives at the camping site at location 4! I'm very impressed how you instantly got you were in Interlaken. Awesome! Greetings from Switzerland :)
Hey man, a small tip for doing this in Switzerland. All the window blinds are generally coloured in the same way as the shield of the canton you're in. This means that if your in Vaud for example the window covers will be green and white.
You probably won't answer but I'll ask anyway. Do you plan on doing the countries by continent or by whatever you feel like? So will you do Europe first, then Asia, then America, then Africa, then Oceania or something like that?
I've put unlimited time and gotten with 1 yd or so on some locations and I gotta say it's definitely time consuming and mentally fatiguing. Props to you for being so patient and nailing a perfect score so often.
u got the initials on every canton on the sign infront of the village. 'SO' on the sign Kleinlützel stands for Solothurn, which makes your search a ton easier
Greeting from Interlaken, was really suprised when the video started with my hometown. The bridge is my way to my workplace. And nice work guessing the spot so fast👍🏻
"Kleinlützel SO" is the sign at the beginning of the town Kleinlützel in Kanton Solothurn. So the SO tells you the Kanton. If you find any car they forgot to blur your know the Kanton right away (assuming it's a local's car).
I was in Interlaken a month ago and walked right over that bridge, so I knew imm - and just COULD NOT BELIEVE the first thing you said „Oh, this might be Interlaken“! Great job! Edit: Trick for Switzerland: Leaving a village or town you often find divided signs. The upper smaller part is the next village, sometimes it’s empty. the lower one tells the next larger city. And SO says Solothurn Edit Nr.2: Started a nice hike 2 months ago in Grabs, got out of the Postauto right at Nr. 5 😅!
You should put up a list in the description of all the countries you've successfully done a perfect run and link the video of the successful attempt. It would be fun to watch the list grow as you go along. + a long term goal could be a perfect score of all countries available on geoguessr. :)
I'm only here to here how he's pronouncing things lol. Beatenberg was borderline okay, but I lost it at Porrentruy lol. Also it kind of bothers me that he pronounces "Eisscholl" as "Ischgl"...
There are three kinds of people: those who wait for geoguessr, those who wait for the straight line challenge, and the based third option that watches whatever you post 3rd option gang rise up
Do you have any plans of going through the explorer mode that they've added? That would be fun to watch! I'm excited for the mission across Wales, my gf keeps asking me if the next episode is out yet lol
I was once in Switzerland and I saw an Italian sign so I guessed in south Switzerland and I was 10 miles away- the nearest town next to the one I guessed I was in

Kleinlützel is a funny name since it could be translated as “Smallsmall“ since klein is German for small and lützel is old German for small
For me the funny thing is that it's 20 mins from where I live :-D

Ahhh so that's where the word little comes from, but klein I'm not able to figure out its English cognate.
BJ Alex it’s actually clean en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clean
I'm German and I've never heard Kürzel before lol
@@gubblfisch350 well “lützel“ isn't used anymore in high german. But you can find it in many names of places and in some dialects.

lol strange to see someone browsing through your neighbourhood trying to find out where tf he is :D
That was impressive. I was getting worried when you thought for a second that Neubau is the village name.

I think it was supposed to be last Sunday.
yo Tom, are you planning to try a perfect score on Czech Republic in this series?
