I departed from home around 1:00 PM. I took the road going straight north from the city, climbing higher and higher. Suddenly, the dense fog (and air pollution from chimneys) appeared and I started worrying whether there will be anything to see. Fortunately, once I entered the ring road around Skała, the fog was gone and uncovered excellent views. I circled the town and turned into a small, village road. At the sharp turn, I found a ground road going to the forest and decided to park there. I walked the last 200 meters, and entered the meadow. After covering some bushes and snow, I found the hashpoint. It was probably my first hashpoint with such a nice view. There was a valley and the town on a hill.

Location
Small meadow on a hill near Skała town, 25 km north of Kraków.
Participants
Zyxist alone
Plans
Geohashing in winter wonderland. Reality exceeded expectations.
Expedition
It would be a great biking expedition, if not winter. Areas around Kraków are on much higher elevation than the city and the snow cover is greater there. The question is: will the weather cooperate?
I departed from home around 1:00 PM. I took the road going straight north from the city, climbing higher and higher. Suddenly, the dense fog (and air pollution from chimneys) appeared and I started worrying whether there will be anything to see. Fortunately, once I entered the ring road around Skała, the fog was gone and uncovered excellent views. I circled the town and turned into a small, village road. At the sharp turn, I found a ground road going to the forest and decided to park there. I walked the last 200 meters, and entered the meadow. After covering some bushes and snow, I found the hashpoint. It was probably my first hashpoint with such a nice view. There was a valley and the town on a hill. I spent some time there and I walked back to the car.
