Day 126: Resupply in Kotel and lots of forest roads

Last night there was some thunder and rain. But my tent was set up properly and it wasn't too much. I prefer it, when it rains at night when my tent is already standing ;)

It was cold and foggy this morning, but the aspect to get nice food made me get up early. But it wasn't a great morning. First, I descended from my campspot through the forest and was totally disorientated when I reach a road (I had thought I had descended on the other side of the hill...), then I dropped my phone (but luckily didn't break it at all), then I lost my glove and had to walk up the entire hill to find it and finally there was a crazy muddy path I descended - this kind that builds up under your shoes!

But I made it into town and after shopping (I even got oats!!!) and some delicious pastries, the world looked much better :)

I followed the trail markers instead of my gpx track and ascended over pastures into the fog. Then it was forest or bushy vegetation all day long, mainly on big forest roads. Just once I came across some hotels guarded by dogs and crossed a big, but deserted road. The weather was actually not too bad although it looked like it might rain every minute, all day long. But it was cold!

Tonight I found a nice flat camping spot on an old forest road. If the weather forecast is right, its going to be a nice sunny and warmer day tomorrow. I hope I can finally take out my solar panel again!

It's getting brighter

Nice spot: water and pharmacy box on the tree

Sun and grey clouds, but it stayed dry!
