Gut gelungen

Ich möchte diesen Weg dieses Jahr alleine gehen. Die Informationssammlung war auf dieser Seite super easy. Trotzdem ist für mich noch eine Frage offen geblieben und zwar die Stromversorgung. Herauslesen konnte ich, dass es kaum Lebensmittelgeschäfte gibt, die man hierfür ja auch nutzen könnte. Das heisst es ist absolut keine Versorgung möglich?
