Expedition

This one was too easy to reach, even though I wanted to skip it because my glutes were still sore after yesterday's speed hiking.

Around noon, I took a bus to the Wrocław Główny station and went by train to Sobótka. At 1:10 p.m., I started the hike following the yellow route to the Wieżyca Pass. From there, I followed the black route west. It didn't take me long to miss a turn and get off the planned track. Luckily, I had downloaded the maps before leaving home.

To reach the coordinates, I had to leave the path and enter a dense forest. After some GPS dancing, I was able to find the point. I put up a poster, recorded proof and went down the mountain back to Sobótka. From the Sobótka Zachodnia station, I took a train to Wroclaw Główny, another one from there to Wrocław Różanka and a bus home.

Arrived by a car at the planned start location about 15:40 (a bit late because of a closed road). I had some minor trouble finding the exact hash site because of bad GPS reception. Reached the hash after some 40 minutes of first an easy hike (a popular blue trail), then skipping some stones and small streams and forcing my way through a dense and dark forest. Did not manage to get there before a sunset, but there were still enough light to take some blurry photos and get back without using a flashlight.

Went back the same way.

Piotrekoo shows he has put up a poster, i did not find it though. Maybe it got ripped off by some animal, or (more likely) it was several meters away because of GPS errors. Not knowing i should search for one, i've taped mine to a nearby tree. Maybe now there are two of them.
