Ryszard Jakubowski: The Grand Polish Trail

The idea arose after I put together hiking, cycling and water routes in Poland, and I connected them to form a loop around our country.

Having setting off on a journey, I was going to pass the two longest hiking trails in the country – the Main Beskid Trail and the Main Sudetes Trails, then kayak down the Lusatian Neisse and Oder to the Baltic Sea, on which coast I wanted to go to Elbląg. From Elbląg, I was to bike southwards to Wołosate, where I started the march, swimming across the Great Masurian Lakes on my way.

In numbers, it looks like this:
I walked over 1000 kilometers on foot.
I kayaked about 650 kilometers.
I travelled about 1100-1200 kilometers by bike.
And I swam across three lakes
