1st of July, Dusznica village
5 minutes of cycling after the Lithuanian - Polish border crossing. We will camp at the farmstead with an old clay-wall barn. There will be possibility to make fire, get local diary products from the farmers, swim in a little river close by the farm or cycle about 1,5km to the lake Galadus.
how to get there: you have to turn right exactly at the border on the Polish side (after crossing the last gate on the Polish side), right in front of an inn called "Gospoda", there's a green village-name sign says 'Dusznica'. From there you cycle for some 1500 meters down a road. When you reach a hill on the right side with some old, mighty trees (you can't miss it), you turn left, cross a little bridge, and when you're up the first hill, you're there!
