A year ago, I was going to spend my birthday at a concert in Moscow. Then the world was turned upside down. After rescheduling that long weekend a hundred times, and again during my trip, I ended up alone in the Polish woods (my first time in Poland) doing what I love: hiking. It was totally awesome. Today, exactly one year later, I will do the same. I don’t want or need big celebrations or anything like that anymore, I just want to do something good for myself and enjoy my birthday.

The weather was wonderful with the sun shining all day. Some cold wind was there too, but ok. At the end, I cooled down my feet in a pond while a couple tadpoles gnawed on it.

After Wysoka Kopa, Smrk is the second-highest mountain in the Jizera Mountains. And as we were already there, we took the chance to see it too. With Jizera (third highest) on the same day, I hiked up Smrk already on a rainy day last year. Luckily, this time, the sun was shining at its best.
And maybe, just maybe, one day I’m gonna do all three in one go.
