24-Jun-2020 -- This report is the fourth out of eight reports reaching confluence points during a 5-day bicycle trip (901 km) from Tallinn to Riga. The story starts at 59°N 26°E and continues from 58°N 27°E.

In the late evening, I had reached the confluence area. From the main road, I turned into a travel track and continued it for 3 km until it petered out. The last kilometre I rode through meter high grass. I parked my bicycle at a distance of 450 m and continued walking through the high grass until I reached a forest. It was a bit of bush fighting for the last 200 m – particularly difficult because I was wearing shorts.

Finaly, at 10 PM I had reached the confluence point, located in a mixed forest of birch, spruce and aspen. The undergrowth has a huge fraction of stinging nettles.

After the confluence visit I camped in an open meadow about 1 km from the confluence point. Not far from the confluence point, there is the Arula Struve Arc Point.
