During my morning coffee in the forest between Rostock and Sanitz, I plan the day's stage. Unlike yesterday, I don't want to cycle to a highlight late at night and then have no time. That's why I decide on a slightly shorter route so that I can visit Stralsund in peace and quiet tomorrow.
The weather is sunny and warm and the cycle paths allow me to cycle at a good speed and cool down. After a swim in the River Recknitz near Bad Sülze, I continue towards Stralsund. The scenery is beautiful, especially around Franzburg and Lake Richtenberg. However, the quality of the paths left a lot to be desired. I struggle through the heat at a snail's pace until I finally reach the forest near Borgwallsee.
What a nature experience. The forest borders a marshland and millions of little frogs hop through the forest and along the paths. At the campsite, billions of extremely aggressive mosquitoes join them. I put on a mosquito net and put in earplugs to sleep, because so many mosquitoes can be quite noisy.
