#1: The Confluence from 40 m distance

(visited by Rainer Mautz and Elionora)

09-Jun-2018 -- This is the second out of 12 reports reaching confluence points in Poland. The story starts from 52°N 21°E.

Our car navigation let us leave the motorway A2 at the intersection with the country road no.70. Via the village Bełchów, we reached a spot 500 m from the confluence at a minor county road. But we found a sandy track that got us within 100 m to our goal.

Not satisfied with a distance of 100 m we walked along the edge of a field and birch forest and found the exact confluence in a young pine forest. All trees had been planted exactly equidistantly along rows and lines. Since the trees had still all their side-branches up to the bottom, we had to crawl through the forest. But nevertheless, we only needed 7 minutes to reach the confluence, to do the documentation and return to the car.
