On my hike through the remote dune landscapes, I discovered this abandoned boat that is slowly being reclaimed by nature. It lies in the middle of the sand, surrounded by birch and pine trees, and tells a silent story of times gone by. The rusty hull, now overgrown with plants, almost seems like a memorial to the power of nature, which is reclaiming its space bit by bit.The surroundings are quiet, apart from the occasional rustling of leaves and the wind blowing through the dunes. It is a perfect place to stop, take in the atmosphere and enjoy a moment of peace. The information board nearby offers interesting details about the flora of the area and the importance of the place during the Soviet era.This unexpected discovery on my hike made the route special - a small adventure that connected me more deeply with the history and nature of the region.

Alone, stranded, sanded,...
What a lovely surprise!
