Olen õnnelik, et on olemas inimesi, kes on täis tahtmist käia ning näha. Ja kes mind mõneti endaga kaasa tirivad...Tahes-tahtmata muudab töönädal meele ja kere laisaks ning kui viimaks nädalavahetus pärale jõuab, ei ole enam suurest tahtmisest midagi vahvat korda saata midagi järel. Pigem vedeleks pikemalt voodis ning naudiks suuremat mitte midagi tegemist. Kuid eelmisel nädalavahetusel läks pisut teisiti ning sain ka lõpuks koduseinte vahelt välja. Läksime töökaaslase ning tema korterikaaslasega Varssavist nii tunni kaugusele asuvasse Kampinose rahvuspargi metsa matkama. Ilmselt ei ole talv just kõige õigem aeg sealse looduse nautimiseks, kuid suve-sügise saabudes tahan sinna kindlasti tagasi minna. Kujutan ette, kui kaunis on kõik rohelisemal ning värvikirkamal ajal!
Park ise on üüratult suur: matkaradu on seal kokku ligi 360 km ulatuses. Metsaradade kõrval peidavad ennast ka liivaluited, mida meie sel korral veel avastada ei jõudnud. Kuid oli ääretult tore pisut linnakärast eemale saada, hingata tuntavalt värskemat ning puhtamat õhku (Varssavi on viimastel aegadel saanud tuntuks oma üüratu õhusaaste taseme pärast) ning lihtsalt, ilma suuremat eesmärki omamata, kõndida. Tegi hingele pai.
I am happy that there are people in this world, who are fulfilled with the passion to go and see places. And sometimes take me with them to do so. No matter how hard I try, the working days tend to make my mind and body fill with tiredness and once the weekend arrives, the need to do something fun and different seems to disappear into thin air. Laying in bed and doing nothing sounds like a perfect plan to me...But last weekend went by a bit differently and I finally managed to get myself out from the comfortable walls of our house. Me, my workmate and his friend went for a nice weekend stroll to the Kampinos National Park a small hour-long drive away from Warsaw. Winter is probably not the most suitable time to visit and see all the beauty the park has to offer, so I definitely would love to go back in the summer-autumn time, when everything is blooming in colours!
The National Park itself is tremendously big: it withholds roundabout 360km worth of hiking trails. Next to the traditional forest trails, the park hides within some sand dunes, that we did not manage to capture this time around. But it was amazing to get out of the city, breathe in the air, which actually felt fresh and not polluted (!) and just walk, without any special destination or purpose. Balm for the soul.
