This morning was warm and I enjoyed walking in the forest on wide forest roads, winding around the mountains. It was just sad, that I spent all morning in the shadow of the mountains.
I short cut a long part around the mountain by walking over the top. The trail on Maps.me was eroded and endet in blackberry bushed in the river. But I found another old forest road, that worked well. It was just bloody steep and I was sweating like crazy.Then I passed some lakes with their obviousely popular picnic spots and thus lots of garbage! I left the forest only for a short time but got a wonderful view on the mountains within Pollino National Park.
Again, the official trail of the SI is on roads, but was reroute to the shortcut I wanted to take. It was steep but even marked. However, the sinage said it goes to the village that I want to avoid. So now I camp exactly at the junction of the marked trail and the trail that is on my map. Not sure which one I'll take tomorrow...
