After one hour planning, I finally decided to follow the red track to make a ''loop''  to come back later to my hostel before sunset of course. My first destination was a small village MIĘDZYGÓRZE so my itinerary was going down and down - it was a very nice and easy walk :). But there was a lot of people with children  because 1) it was a main track 2) it was a Saturday  - so it was loudly and unpleasant a little bit. Luckily, when I got to the village I lost them all :) and then I was going a bleu and later a green track which lead very, very UP toward the CZARNA GÓRA (black mountain - a pick), It was a short path and I was close to  my purpose but due to its steepness I was moving very slowly and by the way sweating a lot. After a very long hour, I eventually reached to the pick. The views were beautiful <3 
It was worth my effort :) :





There, even a simple fish can with a bread tasted as the most delicious dish in the resautant :) 
After the excellent meal, I followed again the red signes towards my hostel through the ŻMIJOWA POLANA  (viper clearing) - there were the nice views :) :


 

Fortunately, that track was mild because I was tired a little bit and my legs had enough for that day - anyway, that was a pretty long itinerary. I managed to reached to the hostel before the sun set - it was so good to sit inside where was very warm and drink 3 teas :). Tomorrow I planned again go to the pick ŚNIEŻNIK and see the sunrise - I was wandering, if the sunrise will be the same, similar, more beautiful or the sun just hide behind the clouds?

2 Day
I woke up at 05:30 - I was very proud of me that I managed to  get up so early :). I came out at 06:06 - there was a dark sky with the stars and the moon. The pick wasn't far away from the hostel but I had to go through the path that was among the trees - the track very, very gloomy. I had a flashlight but anyway I was afraid a little bit - I was hearing just a wind and my breath; luckily, I had seen any animal. After a 40 min. walking very up I have seen the most beautiful sunrise in my whole life:

1) At the beginning:


2) After:



3) Then:



4) Finally:


It was incredible when the colors in half an hour had changed a few times. It was a pure game of lights! On live it was of course more amazing - the photos are just imitation.
I was standing there fascinated for 1 heure! But not alone, there was a few people which also came to watch the rising of the sun. Because of low temperature,  I got cold and my battery was dead very fast. Despite we have a warm October the mornings were getting colder, well, we have finally the autumn.  The sun was high enough so I decided to come back to my hostel, drink a hot tea and plan my next itinerary :)

Sunday 20 October 2019

Then, in the Opacz, next to Czech border, I saw a lovely valley:


There was a great place to rest a little bit and eat something ;). Obviously, there were a lot of czech people.
Afterwards, I was going to Trójmorski wierch (the observation tower) fallowing again the green track. The view was beautiful!:


The sun was slowly going dawn so I had to speed up a little bit; it's better to not walk in the darkness in the middle of the wood when the various animals wake up...

On the Gaworek was a very charming and mysterious scenery (like in the hobbit <3):


I got to hostel/refuge ''pod śnieżnikem'' before the sunset - a big success :). I was very tired but happy that I managed to reach there :). Moreover, the day rewarded me a splendid sundown:


The hostel was very cosy, small, and the most important: there was a free boiling water so I could do the countless number of tea for free ;). I went to sleep very fast - at 8:00 p.m.! I got an eight-man room but luckily nobody snored or made noise. I planned to go on the pick ŚNIEŻNIK at sunrise tomorrow...
THE SECOND JOURNEY: IN THE MOUNTAINS

I
n 13 October 2019 I decided to go to the mountains  : Masyw Śnieżnika- it' s a little bit lower than mountains Karkonosze but the height about 1400 in the beginning was suffisent for me :). Besides there is less people and  there are the paths less crowded than in Karkonosze so I will rest and walk in silence just with nature <3.
1 Day
I had just 3 days free so I traveled at night in Friday to not lose too much time in a train. In fact, I could start my walk at 8 a.m. - wonderful! But because of my " night ride" I was a little bit sleepy so my march was more slowly than usually. I started from MIĘDZYLESIE fallowing red trail trough a small village PISARY. It was very nice road with pretty views :)


 Then, I followed the green track up to crossing that was hard to pass along because of  fallen trees.



Moreover, the green signs were very neglected so I've got lost and in the meantime I noticed a small snake; if I hadn't walk very carefully searching the signs, I would have stepped on the snake. It was hidden very well.
The internet didn't work in the middle of the forest so I was glad that I had taken the map of the mountains with me. After many minutes I managed to find the green signs :)
