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.

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.

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 hadn't realized there were so many World War II bunkers here in Nowogród. I also check out bunker number 6

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

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
