A walk through the woods

July 5, 2025 in Poland ☁️ 23 °C

Today was another great day! We headed out to walk through Wollin National Park, a walk we did last time we were here. I remembered it took a few breaks to get to the other side so I was like we will go as far as we go in 2 breaks then turn around as it was so warm this morning we thought we might swim this afternoon. Well…we made it to the other side within 2 breaks! I was like I really thought this took us longer and we were trying to figure out why it would have…then I realized there were lots of mushrooms and things to look at in the fall so that does take more time when I am stopping every two seconds to look at things! Plus we added in another side hike which I had forgotten about until we got to the other side.

Last time I remembered seeing on the map a point of interest that was a tree just off the trail, but I was too tired to try and find it then, and since we were almost there after the first break I said let’s just eat lunch at the tree then turn around. The tree is in the cypress family and is very big with a sign and fun bench in front of it. It is a different type of tree than what is around here, but not super exciting. We still enjoyed it.

On the way back we had to stop at the store to get some bread and ended up walking through a bit of town we hadn’t before and I am glad we did! We found a fancy gelato place that had a kiwi apple avocado sorbet that we tried and it was really good and refreshing! Then we found a Georgian bakery and got some bread with spices and a pastry with eggplant, tomato and bell pepper - both were super good! The bread was huge and delicious and I feel like I could have eaten the whole thing! So fun!

Then on the walk back to our place we went by so much live music in the bars and restaurants and some guys playing the accordion on the promenade which I really enjoyed. But then when we got back to our place it started raining and got cold so no swimming. Oh well, maybe next time.

Tomorrow we pack up and do one more hike before heading home.Read more
