Pilgrimage Netherlands Czestochowa (Poland) Day 10

The 10th day is again rich in water. Hopefully no more precipitation, but many lakes.

The campsite is located by one such lake. You have to improvise for accommodations. In the village, there are all kinds of shops.

This is a wonderful journey.

This part of the pilgrimage from Eindhoven (Netherlands) to Czestochowa in Poland was also recorded using Routeyou instead of Google Maps.

In the Netherlands, the discovered bike paths are of good quality. In Germany and Poland, the tour goes along economic roads and bike paths. The bike paths are often no more than a gravel road. Forest paths are also not avoided. A bike that can withstand abuse is very desirable. A solid randonneur will be sufficient, but for this route, an MTB is actually the best.

On August 15, the Assumption of Mary is celebrated in a special way. Try to be in Czestochowa a few days before this date. You will be amazed by the thousands of pilgrims who sing and play music there to not miss the solemn Eucharist.

Conditionally, the tour does not demand much from the cyclist, aside from the partially bad roads.

Where the bike paths go through the city, it is advisable to simply stay on the roadway, as it often goes from sidewalk to sidewalk in the city.

The bike tour is a low-budget trip that goes from campsite to campsite in Germany. In Poland, changing campsites and simple B&Bs.

The landscape is not varied, as you are following the 51st parallel. You will pass many nature reserves that are worth getting out at.
