an old country coachman, slow, dry, fond of horses and suspicious of hurry
Read what Walenty Krzak says
My name is Walenty Krzak, and I drove this road when it was mud eight months of the year. Five villages, one line, and a manor house at the end of it where my wages were counted out. Today you walk it; I never once walked it, I had horses for that. Come. The road does not bend, so you cannot get it wrong.

The walk
This is a walk across open country in Gmina Krośniewice, where the land is flat, the roads are straight and the villages are small. It begins at the nineteenth-century manor house at Głogowa and runs in one line through the hamlets to Miłonice. There are no puzzles here, only a story told between fields. The quarter is thinly built, so the legs are long and the talking matters more than the looking.
