In the morning, the weather was very unclear. However, I decided not to stay on that hill. I rolled up the wet tent and carefully descended through mud and puddles towards the sun, which was breaking through dense clouds. To the east, "there must be some civilization". The excavator operator advised me to follow the tracks left by his machine so I wouldn’t get lost. That’s how I reached his base in Działoszyn, where I had also been yesterday. Compared to the previous day, the route was boring and calm. Beautiful Zgorzelec on both sides of the border Nysa River. I cycled alternately on both sides of the border, but longer on the German side where a fantastic bike path runs from the sources of the Nysa all the way to the Baltic Sea. On the German map standing by the path, I found a camping spot by a lake near Suchodół. It took me some time to find the spot. The place was a bit neglected and littered but the lake and sunset made up for everything. Earlier, a "bag" lunch-dinner, since I hadn’t managed to do any shopping. Conversation with holidaymakers from Bielsko-Biała, who were spending their vacation at a nearby agritourism farm. Bathing in the crystal-clear water of the lake and feeding fish with leftover food.

Unfortunately, after the beautiful sunset, the charm broke. Just as I climbed into my sleeping bag, a car arrived with a group of young people. With music-like noise and beer, they spent some time chatting, robbing me of sleep. Luckily, they didn’t stay too long. At dawn, another "mob" disturbed my sleep.
