Ostatni dzie\u0144 wyprawy. Dojecha\u0142em do Gda\u0144ska, sk\u0105d za par\u0119 dni wr\u00f3c\u0119 promem do Sztokholmu. Ale najpierw mapa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: The last day of the trip. I made it to Gda\u0144sk, where I\u2019ll spend a couple of days before taking the ferry back to Stockholm. But first, here\u2019s the map:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wyjazd z \u0141eby poszed\u0142 do\u015b\u0107 sprawnie i pierwsze kilkana\u015bcie kilometr\u00f3w \u201echrupa\u0142o\u201d bardzo dobrze. Asfalt zmienia\u0142 si\u0119 w kostk\u0119, kostka w p\u0142yty, p\u0142yty w szuter, szuter w poln\u0105 drog\u0119. Nic nie wskazywa\u0142o na to, \u017ce mog\u0105 pojawi\u0107 si\u0119 problemy, zw\u0142aszcza \u017ce Komoot by\u0142 przekonany, \u017ce prowadzi w\u0142a\u015bciw\u0105 tras\u0105. Dla pewno\u015bci sprawdza\u0142em j\u0105 jeszcze w Google Maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: Leaving \u0141eba went smoothly, and the first dozen or so kilometres rolled by nicely. Asphalt turned into cobblestones, cobblestones into concrete slabs, slabs into gravel, and gravel into a dirt road. Nothing suggested there would be any problems, especially since Komoot was convinced it was taking me the right way. Just to be sure, I kept checking the route in Google Maps as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W pewnym momencie zjechali\u015bmy z polnej drogi na\u2026 jeszcze bardziej poln\u0105. By\u0142o ostrze\u017cenie o zakazie ruchu na odcinku 800 metr\u00f3w. \u201eNiejeden taki zakaz ju\u017c widzia\u0142em\u201d – pomy\u015bla\u0142em. Zreszt\u0105 na Pomorzu wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 zakaz\u00f3w nie dotyczy rowerzyst\u00f3w. Komoot i Google twierdzi\u0142y, \u017ce wszystko jest w porz\u0105dku, wi\u0119c pojecha\u0142em dalej. Po oko\u0142o kilometrze zatrzyma\u0142a mnie jednak bariera z zakazem ruchu ustawiona w poprzek drogi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: At one point the dirt road turned into an even rougher dirt road. There was a warning about a road closure for the next 800 metres. \u201cI\u2019ve seen signs like this before,\u201d I thought. Besides, in Pomerania many road restrictions don\u2019t apply to cyclists. Both Komoot and Google insisted everything was fine, so I kept going. About a kilometre later I came to a barrier blocking the road completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tego ju\u017c nie da\u0142o si\u0119 objecha\u0107. Dalej by\u0142 tylko rozje\u017cd\u017cony przez ci\u0119\u017cki sprz\u0119t piach. Zawr\u00f3ci\u0142em. Na rozwidleniu obie aplikacje natychmiast wyznaczy\u0142y now\u0105 tras\u0119. Ju\u017c na pierwszy rzut oka wydawa\u0142a mi si\u0119 podejrzana, ale postanowi\u0142em zaryzykowa\u0107. Po dw\u00f3ch kilometrach okaza\u0142o si\u0119, dlaczego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: There was no way around it. Beyond the barrier was nothing but deep sand churned up by heavy construction equipment. I turned back. At the next junction both apps immediately recalculated the route. It looked suspicious from the start, but I decided to take the risk. Two kilometres later, I found out why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Las przecina\u0142a budowa nowej drogi. Wywrotki wozi\u0142y ziemi\u0119 i kruszywo, koparki ry\u0142y w ziemi, wsz\u0119dzie pracowa\u0142 ci\u0119\u017cki sprz\u0119t. Zauwa\u017cy\u0142em jednak \u015blady rower\u00f3w prowadz\u0105ce przez plac budowy. Kilkaset metr\u00f3w dalej znalaz\u0142em miejsce, w kt\u00f3rym kto\u015b przede mn\u0105 zdecydowa\u0142 si\u0119 przeprawi\u0107 na drug\u0105 stron\u0119. Nie by\u0142o wyj\u015bcia – zrobi\u0142em to samo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: A major road construction project cut straight through the forest. Dump trucks were hauling dirt and gravel, excavators were digging everywhere, and heavy machinery was all around. I noticed bicycle tracks crossing the construction site, and a few hundred metres later I found the spot where other cyclists had made it across. I didn\u2019t really have a choice, so I followed their lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pchanie Kolubryny po rozje\u017cd\u017conym piachu nie nale\u017ca\u0142o do naj\u0142atwiejszych, ale w ko\u0144cu dotar\u0142em do utwardzonej nawierzchni. Wskoczy\u0142em na rower i czym pr\u0119dzej odjecha\u0142em, zanim robotnicy zd\u0105\u017cyli si\u0119 zastanowi\u0107, czy to, co w\u0142a\u015bnie zrobi\u0142em, by\u0142o legalne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: Pushing Kolubryna through all that churned-up sand wasn\u2019t easy, but eventually I reached solid ground again. I jumped back on the bike and rode off before any of the workers had time to wonder whether what I\u2019d just done was actually legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiedy wr\u00f3ci\u0142em do nawigacji Komoota, okaza\u0142o si\u0119, \u017ce uparcie pr\u00f3buje skierowa\u0107 mnie z powrotem do miejsca, gdzie za pierwszym razem mia\u0142em przekroczy\u0107 budow\u0119. Dopiero po kilku pr\u00f3bach zorientowa\u0142em si\u0119, co kombinuje. Prze\u0142\u0105czy\u0142em si\u0119 wi\u0119c na Google Maps i wyznaczy\u0142em tras\u0119 do Bia\u0142og\u00f3ry. Ale ju\u017c bez \u017cadnego zaufania – ka\u017cdy skr\u0119t sprawdza\u0142em dwa razy. Dzi\u0119ki temu unikn\u0105\u0142em jeszcze dw\u00f3ch pr\u00f3b wpakowania mnie na budow\u0119. Ca\u0142a przygoda kosztowa\u0142a mnie oko\u0142o 10 dodatkowych kilometr\u00f3w i troch\u0119 pchania roweru po piachu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: When I switched back to Komoot, it stubbornly kept trying to send me back to the very spot where it had originally wanted me to cross the construction site. It took me a few attempts before I realised what it was up to. So I switched to Google Maps and set a route straight to Bia\u0142og\u00f3ra. By then, though, I trusted neither app. I double-checked every single turn. Without that, Google would have sent me back into the construction site twice more. In the end, the whole adventure cost me about 10 extra kilometres and quite a bit of pushing Kolubryna through deep sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W Bia\u0142og\u00f3rze mia\u0142em zaplanowane \u015bniadanie. Jedna z tamtejszych piekarni skusi\u0142a mnie has\u0142em: \u201eDzie\u0144 bez jagodzianki dniem straconym\u201d. Nie zawiod\u0142em si\u0119.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: I had planned to stop for breakfast in Bia\u0142og\u00f3ra. One of the local bakeries tempted me with the slogan: \u201cA day without a blueberry bun is a day wasted.\u201d It definitely lived up to the promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Postanowi\u0142em przetestowa\u0107 nowy odcinek EV10, \u017ceby omin\u0105\u0107 zat\u0142oczone nadmorskie miejscowo\u015bci. Okaza\u0142o si\u0119, \u017ce jest to asfaltowa \u015bcie\u017cka rowerowa wybudowana na trasie dawnej kolejki Swarzewo – Krokowa. Prowadzi w\u015br\u00f3d p\u00f3l i \u0142\u0105k, dawnymi nasypami i wiaduktami kolejowymi, przecina drogi dok\u0142adnie tam, gdzie kiedy\u015b znajdowa\u0142y si\u0119 przejazdy. Przy niekt\u00f3rych dawnych przystankach powsta\u0142y wiaty dla rowerzyst\u00f3w, a do dzi\u015b zachowa\u0142y si\u0119 tablice z nazwami stacji. Naprawd\u0119 \u015bwietna trasa. Je\u015bli b\u0119dziecie kiedy\u015b w tych okolicach, to gor\u0105co polecam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EN: I decided to try the new section of EuroVelo 10 to avoid the crowded seaside resorts. It turned out to be a smooth asphalt cycle path built along the route of the former Swarzewo-Krokowa railway. It runs through fields and meadows, following old railway embankments and bridges, and crosses roads exactly where the railway crossings used to be. At several former stations, new shelters have been built for cyclists, and some of the original station name signs are still there. It\u2019s a fantastic route, and I highly recommend it if you ever find yourself in this part of Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
