The second-to-last day of my cycling trip actually went almost smoothly. Only four times did Komoot lead me over nonexistent or closed bridges, so I had to re-plan a bit.
But there were perfect bike paths, a few less-than-perfect bike paths, beautiful towns and villages, stunning panoramas

On August 24th, I started quite late. When I took a wrong turn, I saw a woman watering her garden. She immediately filled my water bottles because I had run out of water.
After that, I spent a long time on beautiful forest paths. 17 kilometers further, I came across a village festival, a few kilometers

On August 23rd, I first go to Bełchatów, the largest open-cast lignite mine in Poland. After 50 kilometers, I plan to take a break at a bus stop in Nowa Brzeźnica. But a man approaches me, invites me to lunch, we chat a bit, drink coffee, I refill my water, and he gives me two more drinks for the rest

You're slowly reaching home, I think it's only two or three days. I've drawn your route every day, as I'll be doing half of your trip next year.
I wish you all the best for the last few kilometers of your journey and a great job on your cycling.
Cheers, Erwin

On August 21st, after a few kilometers, I continue onto the rather dangerous road number 62. From Serock, there are only bike paths for almost the entire day. I briefly pass "Bumblebee" from Transformers, then the route leads for about 20 km along the Żerański Canal. From the motorway bridge named after

Today I'm simply following the Eurovelo 11 cycle route. After just a few kilometers, and the first beautiful gravel section, I see a huge concrete structure in the forest, the "Lepak" bunker. I hadn't realized there were so many World War II bunkers here in Nowogród. I also check out bunker number 6

After riding only on beautiful bike paths and gravel roads yesterday, I thought today would be the same. But between perfectly paved roads, the route repeatedly led over poor asphalt and sandy gravel paths, which almost shook out the last brain cells in my brain.
It was a tough day, but the nature is

Today, I first take a short ride to the point where the borders of Lithuania, Poland, and Russia meet. Then, I continue through beautiful, hilly countryside to Jeleniewo. There, I treat myself to a delicious Cordon Bleu and a cappuccino.
Then I continue, and shortly after Suwałki, I get a flat tire. At

Today, I'm going for a few kilometers on a beautiful bike path next to the A12. Unfortunately, the bike path soon ends, and I have to cycle for a few kilometers on gravel right next to the road. In Šiauliai, I actually want to do some shopping at Lidl, but just before I get there, a man suddenly attacks

Many gravel roads, many broken bike paths, but also the beautiful old town of Riga. After this long day, I'm glad I made it to a campsite in Lithuania.

Today was the worst-planned route of my cycling trip so far. First, there were 13 km of construction work to the Latvian border, then 10 km on the "highway." Then 8 km on the EV13 cycle path through beautiful forest, but with very poor surface, sometimes deep sand. And another 40 km on

After a few kilometers, Komoot leads me onto the E67 main road. After 20 kilometers of this stressful experience, I decide to plan the route to Pärnu myself. I continue cycling through the boggy landscape toward Lavassaare. This used to be an important site for the peat industry; today

Today, late in the afternoon, I'm already feeling better. However, the water here at Varbola is very bad; it tastes strongly of iron. So I decide to continue on to the next RMK shelter near Märjamaa. In Märjamaa, I also do some shopping and refill all my water bottles. In the evening

August 26th is my last day of my cycling trip. First, I cycle to the Lukov Castle ruins; the 5 kilometers, including two steep climbs, take me almost an hour. Once at the top, I visit the castle and the exhibition—very interesting history that can be felt and seen in every corner. After a short gravel
