WOX TRAVEL CONTEST | WEEK 4 | Urban Outskirts Explorer | Part 1

It's nice to lie on the couch and watch TV programs about incredibly beautiful and interesting places on our planet.

Then when the program ends you get up from the couch and realize with regret how far these incredible places are from you which you may never visit.

After the euphoria of watching, comes a feeling of emptiness when you look out the window and see the same routine that you saw before you turned on your TV.

Time and finances are what determine your ability to be where you want to be and the planets do not always line up in a parade of planets.

So you can be sad forever if you don’t understand that interesting and incredible things can be a few steps away from you but you’ll never know this if you don’t get up from the couch.

Most cities are surrounded by ring roads which, like an invisible barrier separate civilization from wild nature.

Cars are rushing along these roads and it is difficult to find a reason to cross this road, where there are no pedestrian crossings, and sometimes to walk through huge puddles in order to end up there on the opposite side of the road where the wind blows freely and life goes on in its own special way. .

I propose today to take the first steps in exploring such territories, they are close to us but they conceal a lot of new things, things that we did not know or see although at first they may look unattractive lol.

I will break my story about the study of the city outskirts into several parts since this will not fit into one post at best into two dozen posts.

Yes, and this will not be an easy journey, because we will set off in the month of March when the mud sticks perfectly to our boots and it will not be very easy for us to walk and, for starters we will run across the ring highway and go down into the valley of dried swamps along these steps which someone carefully placed in a steep slope.

In March there is still no lush vegetation and you have to walk on bare soil; you are unlikely to appreciate the excellent black soil, but arm yourself with some kind of stick because after walking just a few dozen steps your shoes have turned into buns of mud and it seems to you that every a huge weight was tied to his leg.

The dirt needs to be cleaned from the soles of our shoes because now we have to cross a narrow bridge over a deep stream and the boards of the bridge can be very slippery.

This is a good place to take some photos as the bridge looks very interesting in this wild area.

Most likely this bridge was built by people who seized small areas of dried swamps for their gardens on the other side of the stream I have no other options for how this bridge appeared here.

We will linger near this bridge for now but in future publications we will find out what is hidden there behind the hillock on the other side of the stream.

Do you feel how fresh the air is here?
