Bosnek 2020

Sunday was warm and sunny and husband, Alex and I went to Bosnek - our favourite mountain trail during early autumn. We started fairly early in the morning and the grass was still wet from the morning dew, which made the hundreds of spider webs look jeweled. The trail is short, level and supereasy, but compensates with beauty and abundance of autumn fruits. There were also plenty of parasol mushrooms, but we never pick wild mushrooms, not worth the risk IMHO.
