10-Aug-2024 -- This is the 2^nd out of 10 reports visiting confluence points during a 10-day bicycle trip from Biała Podlaska (Poland) to Chemnitz (Germany). The story starts from 52°N 23°E

In the morning I started cycling from the town Biała Podlaska, in the very east of Poland. After a short 10km-ride along the railway line I visited 52°N 23°E. It took me most of the day to ride my bike southwards to this confluence point, reaching it around 6:30 PM. It is located just at the edge of a village called Majdan Krzywski about 120 m inside agricultural land. At the time of my visit the fields had already been harvested. But there is no danger to step on crops anyway, because the confluence is located exactly between two neighbouring fields with a strip of grass dividing them.

After the visit the sun was already setting and I hadn't even bothered to spend the night yet. To reach the closest one I had to ride another 23 km to the village Wola Gardzienicka. On the way I bought spaghetti but I couldn't turn on the stove. Only after support from the host did I succeed and I had a large portion of spaghetti with tomato paste, mushrooms and onions.
