EV10: Day 14: Kolczewo to Gąski

For the first 40 km or so the roads were very rough and progress was slow. It’s hard to see how this can be part of the official EuroVelo network.

Anyway, the landscape remains beautiful, and the beach towns all look the same, with the same shops, the same small carnival, and with lots and lots of people.

However, if you go through the national parks just a bit outside of town, you’ll find beautiful long stretches of beach with hardly any people.

Also, I hardly met any other bikepackers, to my surprise.

After the city of Kołobrzeg there was this AMAZING cycle road (co-financed by the EU, as most cycle roads) right along the coast, and you could see the sea while riding. This was probably my favorite stretch of my journey so far.

I had to stop for the night even though I could have gone on, as there didn’t seem to be any suitable camp sites ahead. So I ended up on a bigger camp site — nobody speaks English — not my most favorite place to sleep. Anyway, I got some good #pierogi and #pivo, did my laundry and watched the sunset on the beach. 🌅
