“It is a great spot for a short and long rides, but it is mostly used by people going to Poznan and north (Swiebodzin and futher)”
―Pawel.wita, 20 Jul 2013
“I was wainting there about 5 min(alone girl). Is very good spot to hitchhike, but ATENITION you have to walk a little bit (100-200m) behind the circle and then you will find a car bay- place where cars can stop, otherwise a car have to stop on the road. Good luck bastards :))”

You get to this place by free bus from Wroclaw Central Bus Station (Dworzec Centralny PKS) to Centrum Bielany (big shopping mall)”
Comments:
“30 minutes to Legnica, two boys on their road to Berlin. But it's much easier to get a ride to Dresden/Leipzig than to Berlin from there.”

“It isn't hard to find some car driving to direction of Krakow, but much less to Wroclaw. I strongly advice using the carton sign.”

“I waited seven freezing hours at the toll both for a ride to Krakow. I was dropped around 10pm, so perhaps in daylight I would have fared better.”

“Lots of traffic inbound Katowice; if You are headed inbound Opole the best is to take even a driver who goes inbound Katowice and get dropped at the petrol station 10 km before Katowice and cross on the other side of the highway to finally find a driver inbound Opole, Wrocław. If You have questions please use the "Contact Me" section on my website www.claudioadrianodobre.com to get in touch with me. Hit the road hard ;)”

“Unlucky place for me =) I was hitchhiking there about 1 hour, after that time a woman took us to A4 and there we wait about 30 minutes. It better to ask drivers to take you on A4.”

“We waited there almost an hour without success. After opening wharf on the top of the road there is average traffic trough here. Reccomend to go back 300-400 meters and try to catch cars just after traffic lights near Castorama/IKEA/McDonalds.”
―Zimmer hans, 06 May 2013
“After reconstruction and opening the overpass/flyover it's mostly a pointless spot as you miss most of the traffic. If you're going to Katowice, Wrocław, etc. it's much better (though still far from perfect) to head west (away from Makro and Ikea) and find a spot there.”
―Erathiel, 06 Jun 2013
“Now, this place isn't good, because way was rebuilded. Now the road has three levels
―Azariasz, 16 Oct 2013

Kielce
“This place is actually the best option when heading for Krakow from Kielce. But almost everyone going from Warsaw to Krakow skips Kielce, so it might take you some time to get a lift. Consider getting to the ring road if in a hurry.”
“Watch out I hitchhiked there the 20/04, everything is under construction. Drivers who go to Krakow should probably take another way because there was almost nobody. But try, I waited 30mn for a direct drive to Krakow (I'm still thinking I'm lucky this time)”

Koszalin
“There is plenty of space for a car to pull over and they go in your direction, a pretty good spot to get out of Koszalin”

Skawina
“Just on the pick of the mountain - but it isn't a good place but only one :(”
“There is a bus stop just before the on-ramp to the A4 where there is plenty of traffic toward Katowice/Wrocław. Traffic lights make the spot very good since cars in ur direction go slow.”

Nowy Tomyśl
“Direction - Germany and West - South Europe. There is a round crossroad and all cars from Warsaw and Poznan meets here to continue there ride to the west. Speed is low, and no locals almost.”
“Probably redundant, since the A2 was finished all the way to the border. ”
“Yet nice for local / region hitchhiking, and who says there are no drivers to Poznan / Frankfurt/Oder - there should be, some avoid motorway to avoid toll. Anyway, nice way for countryside hitchhiking now! :)”
―Fverhart, 28 Dec 2012
“good place for local travel, but problem to get to the highway, hours and nothing //

Sochaczew
“Very good place to get a truck directly to Germany (Berlin) or Poznan. There is a truck parcking here and gas station. It better to stay with a sign after gas station. You can get here by train from Warsaw or by hhing :)”
“We have waited here 25 minutes to get lift to Germany (3 persons). Very good place.”

“I preferred to hhike directly after the roundabout. Definitely a good place.”
―Bodzioslaw, 13 Oct 2011
“Had some bad luck earlier on, but a ride from here within 5min. Try to get a truck, there's almost no difference in speed on these roads and they might ask for a ride using their radio!”
―Koendev, 14 Dec 2011

Grajewo
“It's almoust dead point for hhing - no chance for a truck to stop, only small car can do this. And you also cannot leave this point by foot, because for 10-12 kilometers its very narrow and fast speed road with no place for drivers to stop, even if they wanted to do it. Try to avoid to stop here and if the car goes to Scczuczin, try to get out somewhere before it in a better spot.”

Poznański
“Direction - Germany. If you are lucky and visible enough - here you can try to hhike. A lot of local cars which could bring you further a bit to a better position.(for example to Pniewy - 25 km)”

“13 Oct 2011: the bus is no longer free. 2 zlotys now. And leaves from "Okęcie" or "P+R al. Krakowska" bus stop.
Then you have to walk a little bit from Janki to the nearest bus stop (good place for cars to stop).
However, the place is good, really, specially in summer. One holiday we got a direct Warsaw-Cracow lift after... 30 minutes?”

“Very nice spot, but I wanted to be smarter, and get bit longer ride. After 10 minutes two guys wanted to give me a lift to Myślenice, but I refused. I was standing there with Rabka plate for 2 hours, and finally went to Myślenice anyway. So it's nice spot, but don't try to go further than Myślenice. There you can get next ride quite easily.”

“It is absolutely not a "very nice spot". It's forbidden to stop a car there!”
―Marcel Duchamp, 25 Jul 2011
“Mixed feelings about this stop. I waited a long time with my Rabka sign, but just as I was about to give up a hero took me all the way to the Slovak border. He wasn't even going there. I guess 90% of hitching is luck. :)”
―Looking for Stu, 02 Dec 2012
“it's not a good spot, we're waiting there for almost 2 hours, besides we had company, two other hitch-hikers were waiting there too so maybe it was the reason why we spent so much time there”
―Awesome hiking, 04 May 2013
“This is actually quite a good and popular spot, I have used it several times and never waited longer than 20-30 minutes, sometimes even caught rides in no time at all.
There are quite a few drivers to Myślenice, but if get one remember to get off BEFORE the town as there are no good spots neither there or for the next 10+ km so you'll have to go back anyway ;)”
―Erathiel, 13 May 2013
“direct Bielsko-Biała, good place, in Myślenice, You must turn right on the road directly to B-B;)”

“To Wyszkow, Lomza, Bialystok, to LT, LV, EST, RU. You can get here using a bus Nr.718 (very good description on hitchwiki). Bus stop STRUGA. A lot of cars, but almoust no trucks, because for them tranzit through Warsawa is not existing anymore. Thats why it is better to take car till Wyszkow, where you could stop a long-distance car or truck. ”
“very easy to arrive. i tried to hh on a bus stop and it was hard. cars are going way too fast, but if you are good asking drivers in the red light, go for it. but i guess that this is one of the best places where to hh
“Easy to arrive, a bus stop on which even big cars can stop (although not the lorries, probably), good visibility and the traffic lights just before the spot. I was going to Suwałki, somebody stoped and took me to 1/3 of the route. I've waited only 10min.”
“Much better than the spots further to the south, but still not optimal. Took slightly over an hour to get a ride to Bialystok.”

“To Warszawa. Popular hh place in Wroclaw. There is a sign FORBIDEN TO STOP, but nobody takes care.:) Just hhike after a sign and car will appears. You can get here using bus Nr.128 till station PSIE POLE - STACIJA PKP”
“A great place! First, it's easy to get to: just take any bus going to "Psie Pole" (from the centre: D, N, 128, 131, 141, there's also more from other parts of the city) and walk 100 metres past Lidl. You can also simply take a train to Wrocław-Psie Pole.
Second, there's always plenty of cars and enough space for them to stop. I hitched there many times, and never waited for a ride longer than 30 minutes. If something doesn't work, you can always take a bus or train.”

“Personally I claim that this place is strange. Sometimes I managed to catch a car within 10, 15 or 25 minutes. But it also occured that after 2 hours of senseless hitchhiking I surrendered and left the place. Since most traffic is going through A8 now there are less cars using this way. People often gave me a lift only to Oleśnica.”

U may catch a ride to Ukrainian border on this side of A4 or to Amsterdam or Paris on the oposite.

&quot;Hitchhikers'sunday walk&quot;
“A great spot, me and my friend have just approached the petrol station, and the first person I asked for the lift took us in direction od Dresden in Germany. ”
“It took us some time to get a lift in direction Katowice. If you can't speak Polnish it may work better to work with a sign. To us it worked better than adressing people in English or German.”
―Anonymous, 10 Jul 2011
“Some local guys told me this spot for hitchhiking to Dresden.
I took the FREE bus from bus station (which is near the train station) to Auchan. (Yeah, you are right, it´s a shuttle bus of Auchan). Near the Supermart, you will find a gas station. But it´s not so ideal. You´d better walk southwest until the highway of A4. There is also a small gas tank. I was there just showing the sign, then came a guy asking me where I was heading for. Cool!”
“I´m sorry. The above comment is actually wrong. It seems that I´ve wrongly clicked the place. It should be the one on the other side of the A4. I don´t know how to delete it.”

A guy from the gas station's crew offered to keep an eye on my things while I go around and ask. Really good spot.”

We managed to get out of here within a time span of less than 2 hours. That's 23 people straight to Berlin!
Also, if you're coming from the bus stop and look at this direction and see a derelict station: you're looking at something else! this is further along (that's what sent me to the other, useless station)

Luboń
“Towards Berlin. I am not saying that this place has good hitchability, but comparing to all other places I have seen in Poznan, it seems the least sensless.”
“
Truly an only sensible place in Poznan to hhike in the direction of Germany, but really not a worst one. Just stand at the exit of the petrol station and sooner or later you should catch a hike. To get here, get first to Ogrody and switch there to bus no. 61 or 86, hop off at the stop called "Wichrowa", then walk 5 mins to the petrol station. The best bus ticket option is 1h ticket, a student one should cost around 2,50 zloty.”

Bystrzyca Kłodzka
“Hitching South is really good from here. If you stand with sign, you can easily get to Czech Republic. Just mind that you have to be visible - walk a bit down the road where are no trees hiding you ;)”

Kłodzko
“That is the best spot to hitch south, towards Bystrzyca and border crossing in Boboszow. Further you can go easily to Brno.”

Lublin
“There's a bus stop here, right after an intersection, so the drivers that wait at red can see you clearly, and they don'tt speed since they start driving after the green light kicks in. Cars heading for Warsaw and Radom have to pass through this point. The volume of traffic is high during weekends. Approx time of waiting: 5 sec to 1h.
Btw. I've added nearly the same marker as anonymous, but in the wrong spot.”

“take the trams going south from the trainstation, go to the end of it. you have to cross after the railways, either down the underground or on the bridge. good to hitchhike to the south, to Wroclaw or further and also for the entrance of the highway, either west (berlin) or east (warszawa). there is a gas station there (the second after it was kind of blocked when i was there, there was some construction on the road)”

“Great place! Just jump over the fence like 100m after police station (there are already holes for legs made by others!).
One tip for the people without GPS - you have to move back from the bus stop and go to the direction of the flyover (place is like 25min by walk)”
―Prosektor, 03 Jan 2014

“We were expieriencing some problems on this spot. When we tried to jump over the fence the first time a security guy came and sent us away. After a few minutes we tried it again and succeeded, but when standing there with our sign a police officer told us that hitchhiking is forbidden over there and wanted to send us away as well. After some discussions we were allowed to stand on the end of the parking lot.
Then it took us about 10 minutes to get away from this place.”
“15 minutes and i catch a transport to berlin. imo best place from poznan to hitchhike on west”
“Me and another hitchhiker waited 20min and got picked up by a Polish driver who was going to Zürich!”
“Climbing the fence around the parking area is not difficult. Look for the places where other people have already climbed (and a bit damaged) the fence. ”
―Fverhart, 02 Sep 2014
“It's a great place to go to Berlin, after 5-10 minutes trucker stopped and took us to Berlin.”
“Hitched here on a Thursday morning in January with a sign to Berlin. Found the place to be not as good as the comments here made me believe. The problem is this: the outer lanes will only have trucks, and they have room to stop, but it's tight. Cars driving the inner lanes will not have time to switch lanes to stop AND they're usually going too fast too really have a good look at you. I did try both the front and the back of the parking lot, as well as in between. After about 40 minutes I found a guy who stopped on the parking lot and gave me a ride to a service station about 60 km down the motorway.
Maybe it's better to just have sign that says 'west' or something similar, both service stations in that direction are pretty close (something like 15 and 60 km) and are both very good.”
“Had a sign "Berlin", waited 5 mins, got a 500km lift with a CAR. Good life! One needs to climb the fence discreetly, though. A police car passed almost right as I was climbing it... The security personnel at the toll didn't say anything to me, although they clearly saw me. Just stand well before them. This way you will also be more likely to catch traffic going on different lanes.”
“We waited about 90 mins ( 2 guys) and we get a car do Berlin. It is good spot becouse people have to stop and take a ticket for motorway. I think we were just unlucky :) Don't give up!”
―Micho, 15 Aug 2015
“I was heading to Berlin and got a ride after 10 minutes. Take the 719 bus and then walk for about 2.5 km. You need to walk along the highway and just a little before you pass the toll station there's a good fence climbing sport. It's obvious to see that other people have climbed it before, so go for it.”
“Very good spot, got ride to Frankfurt am Oder in about 30 mins, at 7 on thuesday.”

“On 7 monday got a ride to the Netherlands in 5 minutes, holy shit. ”

Excellent spot with petrol station, small parking place for trucks and bus stop.
To get there take a bus nr.238,248,258,268,278 from Bronowice Nowe or Motel Krak and get off at the bus stop named Pasternik Cmentarz (you have to give a signal to the driver to stop here!!!)
It's also good place to go to the turnpike A4(E40)”
“Good, safe place! Got a lift almost the way to the Czech border after 15 minutes of waiting! Nice!”
―Dallerfisk, 19 Aug 2012
“I do not recommend these place on Sunday and any other places in Krakow. Trucks don't ride on Sundays in Poland and there was a lot of local traffic. I waited here more than 1 hour with a board to Czech r and couldn't even leave Krakow. After that I waited another half an hour with a board to Katowice and nobody took me.”
“i stood at these place for 3 or 4 hours / but nobody didnt stop( also i spoke with people on petrol station most of them are going no nearest villages, also there was 2 ANOTHER boys and they didnt get a car too”

―MarthaBereza, 14 Sep 2014
“Good spot for Katowice and Wroclaw (Lower and Upper Silesian cities generally). Always working, sometimes longer, sometimes faster but no longer than an hour to leave the place. Moreover there are traffic lights just before the bus stop and gas station so cars are slow and you are visible. Spot is not so far from the city, but crappy city buses communication to get here, sometimes better on foot.”

“Good place, but cars are going very fast here, so sometimes you have to wait quite long. Advantage- it's easy to reach this place.”

“Good spot for direction Poznan, Berlin. You can get here from Lodz by tram 46.”
“well first thing a bit confusing was to get there: you just can buy ticket in tram.
you need a 30-minutes ticket of lodz (you can buy everywhere in Lodz: 2,40Zloty) and 2 other zones 1,80Zloty each... you can buy at tram driver the 1,80 tickets...
and now experience about the spot:
i put berlin and poznan on my sign, no much trafic, but after 15minutes a car for poznan stop.”

“it's a bad spot. Cars are driving very fast cause it's the begining to the highway and they are getting crazy ”
“Quite a good spot, cars aren't that fast after the roundabout, but it took 1h and 1/2 to get a car to Warsaw.”
“We hitchhiked on the abandoned bus stop slightly (about 200 m) further down the road. Took horrendously long to get a ride just to a gas station before Konin. A bad start to an otherwise successful trip.”

“waited on regular tuesday morning at 7AM 20...30minutes to catch a ride somewhere next to Oppole, we had a sign saying "Wroclaw Dresden". we were 2guys, so seems to be a good place. i guess police won't make problems, because cars can stop legal (parking area) and it's noit dangerous to stop there. so maybe police got better things to do than bother hitch hiker with stupid things”

There is a bus station and a perfect spot for hitchhikers going from Bydgoszcz to Toruń and Warsaw. ”
“I've used this spot many times and never had to wait too much.
Since getting here requires taking a bus which doesn't pass very close to the center,if you're getting here with a transfer along the way, get an hour ticket (4,20 PLN regular/2,10 PLN with a discount) instead of purchasing 2 separate tickets.”

“from this traffic light you have a good chance to get a ride to SLUPSK as well as KOSZALIN. the light often signals 'red' for highway number 6 so all cars have to stop. there is heavy traffic on this road but if you build a cardboard-sign many drivers get in contact with you visually (they make sings with their hands). there is also a supermarket only 200 meters north of here if you feel hungry. on my personal scale from 1 to 10 (1 = poor, 10 = excellent) i want to rate this spot an '8'.”

“i was hitching from here to SZEZECIN (stettin). the spot is safe for cars to stop on a hard (asphalt) shoulder - even though many drivers tend to speed at this place (meaning: to drive faster than 100 km/h). on my personal rating from 1 to 10 (1 poor/ 10 excellent) this spot gets a '7': it is safe and drivers can see you although the average speed of cars is too fast. the traffic light only 200 meters west is not better, it is too often on 'green' for cars on the federal highway - and cars have no safe place to stop there.”

Gryfino
“to go to BERLIN you can almost stand -on- the entrance ramp to the autobahn. there is only few cars driving around but who passes this point mostly is on a longdistance trip in the direction of germany. from here you can also see a petrol-station (on the field, near the autobahn) only 300 meters east. i tried to hitch from there but the station is almost dead - there were 10 cars passing by in half an hour. if no one takes you from the entrance ramp marked here (or the nearby petrol-station) you should walk another 3 km west along the autobahn to another two petrol stations where ther is definitly more cars that tend to fill-up.”
“I found the petrol station ok, but I agree, try to hitch to the next petrol station which is much bigger. One problem was that everyone went to Rostock or Denmark, but not to Berlin. I highly recommend NOT to accept an offer if someone wants to drop you on the A20 in the wrong direction (to Rostock), this autobahn is dead!!! Wait for someone who really goes to Berlin!!!”
“Tried to get a ride here, untill someone told me that almost "long distance" rides here are into Poland.
Not worth the time I think, better just head to the big stations on the east where you get a ride to Berlin in no time.”

“Indeed. Direct lifts to Warsaw are no problem. It's better to take a lift who can bring you to the beginning of the motorway (Nowy Tomysl) or a service station on it. ”
“well it was my first time hitchin in Poland.
I arrived and after 15minutes i got a direct ride to Lodz, so i guess it's even easier to go to Poznan or Warszawa. ”
“Very good. If you want just go directly to the Baltic states or Russia, Belarus, Ukraine. It is a good spot to cath someone by asking or holding sign”

Waiting on the lay-bay is prohibited (as I was informed by the Customs officer) so one can always catch a hike at the entry to the motorway. Waited there for about 45 mins with a sign towards Koszalin and Gdansk.

From the city center take the tram to the station Prokocim Szpital a and than continue by foot for about kilometer along the highway.”
“Sorry, I ´ve placed it by mistake on a wrong position, it should be after next traffic lights on the Wielicka street.”

“Not a really safe place here ( cars speeding more than 100 kph) and prohibited by the Polish law, so you might get a ticket. I was lucky to catch a truck after 5 mins.

“Take a bus to Wojanowo via jakdojade.pl
Then don't reach toll station, just stay 30m before it. Cars are going slow already, and the toll-staff wouldn't disturb you. The card with "WAW" making really magical speed of lifting the car.”

You can take a bus to get here, but who is taking a bus in a town as small as this one? You will wait for 20 mins max to catch a car here. It is a bus stop with a sand pull-over, just stand with your thumb up, 95% of the people here are going to Slupsk.”

Słupsk
“Pretty good place for those who want to go hitching east of Slupsk, in the direction of Gdansk. To get here take the bus no. 24 and get off at the stop Gdanska- Klonowa. Wait with a sign to your destination at the bus stop, car are not going by the max speed here yet, and you are visible from a distance. ”

Lębork
“A perfect spot for those going westwards towards Slupsk and Szczecin ( eastwards towards Gdansk as well I suppose, you can go hitching at the traffic lights on the opposite side of the road) Basically, there is a petrol station here, trafic lights and a wide lay- by for the cars to stop, so you can choose your favourite way of hitchhiking.

To get here, you can take the bus number 22 or 3 from the main Train Station or 9 from the centre (near the City Hall). Get off the bust 3 and 22 at the last stop and walk west downhill, until you reach the road to Warsaw.
From the bus 9 you need to get off at the first bus stop on Dybowskiego called Uniwersytet-Centrum Konferencyjne and walk for about 10 minutes along the road to Warsaw.
To see bus schedules and routes, visit:

“Pretty good spot for those going in direction of Mlawa and Warszawa (Warsaw). There is a patrol station over here, and basically this is the last place you can hitch from Olsztyn. To get here you can take the bus from the city centre, cant recall the number though. Ask the driver for "Sloneczna, Kortowo", he should take you here.

I don't know if I was just extremely lucky but that spot was perfect because cars are going slow due to the traffic light and they can pull right over to the bus stop. Advice: If you are stuck at the Polish/Ukraine border just get out and go to the next car!”
“I think the best spot is in Wieliczka. This one here few times disappointed me.”

―Mikael, 10 Jun 2011
“We were standing on the gas station. The staff told us not to hitchhike hire, so we moved just a little on the roadside in front of the bar, which does not belong to the gas station anymore. In 10 minutes we (2 boys) got a ride to Berlin. The traffic on A4 seems a bit bigger towards Dresden and Leipzig, though.”
“you never know. once it was 15 minutes (asked a driver, got a direct superfast ride to Goerlitz), once it was an hour (a truck stopped on the emergency lane for 1 minute to do other business, and I used the opportunity). people are friendly and stop eagerly when you're thumbing, but often go only for a short distance (Boleslawiec).”

“This is a very popular spot to hike out of Warsaw - lots of local traffic, but it's also not very hard to get a ride to Krakow or Katowice. Hike straightly from the bus stop - lots of people are travelling from that point so you have to be prepared that sometimes there is a crowd of hitchhikers here. This is also the place where a bus to Janki stops - there is actually a better spot for hiking. Keep in mind that drivers taking you to Radom usually expect some money from you, so make this clear before getting in.”

It seems so be the best option to hitch on th road number 5 (to Poznan...) at the moment. At the moment cars have a lot of space to stop on the speeding up lane. There is work further on the road and cars/trucks wont have much space to stop and they will not see you from far way.”

The bus stop is called "Żmigrodzka (Obwodnica)"
The merged traffic from the city center and the transit one from the A4 motorway is brought here by the newly constructed Wroclaw Ringroad(A8)& passes U by :-). Cars go slowly while leaving the roundabout so driver can see you easily & has enough time to pull over. It is also a place of a frequent traffic jam occurance
As 1 image is worth 1000 words- have a look @ my photo of the place
So once U manage to take one of the buses It will bring U directly to the hitching spot.
Both timetables show departure times from Wrocław Nadodrze bus station. Here is its exact location shown on the googlemaps
U may still come to Marino bus stop and walk up to the round about Here is the bus #129 itinerary visualized on the map (scroll down the page) together with the line timetable to make it easy to find the closest place to get into the bus.
We got a lift from there to Poznań in 60 seconds :-) ”

Warsaw gmina
“S8 towards road nr. 2. In the future this will be one of the good places to get a ride, once the A2 is completely finished. Right now the S8 merges with the normal road nr. 2. On-ramp with a bus stop, so more than enough place for cars to stop, and they'll also be going slow just after the traffic lights. ”
“There is a safe place to stay on a bus stop. Anyways, most traffic goes to downtown and suburbs of Warsaw, but we were able to catch a good ride towards A2 after 15 minutes.”
―Dzulajka, 19 Oct 2012

There's also lot of truck drivers goin to A2 but truck traffic lowered since very high fares at tolll booths have been set.”
“NIce station with a correct traffic, but i still waited 1 h 30 before to find a lift to Poznan.
At least Frankfurt is not far so you may find a couch using the free wifi.”

“Towards Bielsko-Biała, Tychy, Katowice.”

“MOP Zalesie, petrol station on the A2 towards Poznań/ Warszawa.”

“Enough cars are passing here and at a slow enough speed to stop them. The walk from the roundabout up to this exact point is not the safest, but necessary to get a ride in the right direction.”
“It`s a good place towards Warsaw, probably worse for Poznan, because most cars going from Lodz to Poznan are entering the motorway more on west, in the exit called Emilia
“it's not a good spot! it's already highway and you can get a ticket from police, which is 200m from this spot. There is monitoring so cameras see you! Better hitchhike before round”

“Cars go rather slow on this curvy mountain road through Krowiarki Pass, you will possibly see 1-2 cars/min (6 PM). We (4 person) were walking by and trying to catch a lift to Zawoja-Policzne. First 2 of us got a lift after 15min, and another 2 - 90sec after them :). Most of cars go to Zawoja (lesser amount of cars go to Zubrzyca - another direction), I don't think you would catch a lift from here further than to Maków Podhalański/Sucha Beskidzka (or Jabłonka - another direction).”

―Truffula, 16 Mar 2014

“There is lots of trucks because of the duty terminal here. There is also two gas stations - Shell (northern) and BP (southern). There's also Carrefour by the BP. Almost all trucks are heading west. Don't come here in the afternoon or evening - you will find drivers laying down to sleep (especially on the BP). There's not much normal cars passing by, but I think you could catch a ride towards Zielona Góra - there's a bus stop and the cars do not go too fast because of the railway crossing (without barrier though) and trucks marauding between duty terminal and gas stations. ”

“Since there is nowhere for a car to safely stop in the southern end of Bartoszyce, when going south it is good to walk out to this roundabout where cars are going slowly and there is a place to stop. ”

“When I hhiked there in JULY 2012 there was a gut (narrowing) set up due to road works. There were also zebra crossing with traffic lights.
If you hit the button the light switched to red in about 2 minutes, all the cars stop so you can walk by and ask if they'll take you. It took us about 5mins to get a ride to Katowice and 10mins to get a ride to Bielsko-Biała at 10.20 PM! :)
There is also a gas station a few meters to the north, but it only works when you wanna go south. When we came to the gas station at about 10 PM there were very few cars and all of them were local.”

“We wanted to go to Slovak borders and after 10 minutes one lady offered us a ride to Niedzica (3 km before borders but different direction than we planned). We took it, but the problem is that in Spišská Stará Ves (first village behind the borders) traffic is very low, almost none. Anyway, this spot is very good.”

“A bus stop nearby Clare Nuns convent. It took us about 5min to get a lift to RZESZÓW. Cars go very slow as E40 strolls through the center of Jarosław which proudly holds the name of "the city of traffic jams". The ringroad is under construction (August 2012).”
“There is a new ringroad since late 2012 so it may be much harder to hitch a ride in the city center now. I don't know where to hitchhike on the ringroad as I did not try it so far.”

“Bus station nearby big shopping center NOWY ŚWIAT. We saw 4 hitchhikers trying to get a lift to Kraków and Wrocław so we decided to go to another bus stop. Don't now how fast did they manage to get a lift but we did it in 20 minutes on the next bus stop.”

“In my opinion a very good place, in 10 minutes I was taken by a bus with the school trip :D”
“The problem is the spot is near the city cetre, so a lot of cars going just somwhere near, but I don´t see any better option to hitchhike to Czech Republic from Katowice. Maybe it is worth to wait a little longer, because we took lift in 10 minutes and it was not so far, then we had problems to get away from that other place.”

“1 guy, 2 girls, October 2015.
The place is confusing a little because it has three options: on the highway (tried that for a little while but decided it's useless after a little while, cars are just going too fast), at the traffic lights (difficult to stop, but cars go really slow; stood there for 2 hours) and a bit closer to Wawa, just before under the bridge (some place to pull over, but only get cars from one direction – finally went there and got almost the first car!).
So, no piece of cake, but quite ok.”
―Tomasmarc, 28 Oct 2015

“Right to Warszawa, it's a nice spot. They can't really park but there is a double tracks to entrance on the highway. So if there is not so many people, they can park and a track and others overtake. Because the lights crossroad, people stop and drive slowly. The only problem is there is a lot of local people, but it's typical of getting of a city. 1 driver stop each 10 mn to offer me Wroclaw or small villages around, the 5th was perfect for the next gazstation. Good luck !”
“Again: 1h for some peoples is bad, for me it's still good when you want to leave a city”

Journey from the city center: tram No. 7 (direction MARINO) to stop 'BRONIEWSKIEGO' -> bus No. 305 from stop 'BRONIEWSKIEGO' to the loop ('PRACZE WIDAWSKIE'); then you go into the Księgarska St. and after about 500 meters you come to National Road No. 5, turn left, cross the bridge and you're on the spot.
―Waleń, 25 Dec 2012

I hitchhiked there several times and it have never been longer than 10 minutes (even after dark and with male companions).

You can get to this place by free bus to Auchan hipermarket. ”
―Autostopik.pl, 08 Apr 2013

“I find this spot quite good. There is a traffic and cars must wait, so they have plenty of time to get accustomed to yuor sight:) There's no obvious place to stop, but it doesn't matter, and usuallly you can get a lift. You can hitchhike to Rzeszów, Brzesko, Tarnów etc, but have in mind that there is also a highway (payable). You can get there using bus nr 304 (only a bit more expensive than normal ticket), get out on the last stop ("wieliczka koncowy")”

―Ksiezyc, 13 May 2013
“Very good spot, much better than another closer to the center along Armii Krajowej.To get there: from Osiedle Blonie take a bus 52 going to PODKOWA. Watch out, don´t get on a bus with the same number with the destination of Osiedle Lesne, they will take you close to the first point but not any close to this one. The Podkowa buses go only every 40 minutes - 1 hour depending on the time of the day. Get off at the bus stop Jezdziecka/Gdanska and hitch on the bus stop :)”

“Po około 30 minutach stania z tabliczką udało się kogoś złapać, dobre miejsce, bo wiele samochodów rusza ze skrzyżowania i są w stanie nas wcześniej dostrzec.”

“I forgot to add that there's a bus stop, of course. There are also bus stops in direction to RZESZÓW, KROSNO, and DUKLA/BARWINEK, too I think.”

Przemyśl
“Traffic lights, zebra crossing, bus stop makes it a good spot towards JAROSLAW and RZESZOW. We (2 boys) waited 35min to get a ride to RZESZOW in summer morning. But there was much more traffic in the late afternoon day before, though.
Of course, it's better to hitch on the northern end of the ringroad if you want to go towards RZESZOW, but we slept about 300m from this spot and decided to try here. It's also closer from the city center than the northern end.”

“There is a bus stop, very good spot to go Wrocław direction. Been there few times never wait longer than 15min”

“City bus no. 22 will get you here (to TRZCIANA) from RZESZOW. It stops by GALERIA RZESZOWSKA (Pilsudskiego/Cieplinskiego crossroads, there's a hitchpoint there too but it's senseless). Get off the bus right after it leaves the main road, walk under it (there's an underground passage) and go about 100m east past the church. You will find a bus stop there. Cars go quite slow and it's a good spot despite being located on the top of the hill.
2 boys waited 12min here with a sign 'KRAKOW' and got a direct ride to their destinaton. It was 12.26, friday 14.06.2013.”
“The name of the shopping centre is actually GALERIA RZESZOW, not Rzeszowska.”

“Good place to ask for a ride, it connects to lot of highways, specially if you are hitchhiking for a place inside Poland.
It has place for the cars to stop.
You can take the city bus 106 and stop at "Park Tysiaclecia"”

“Not the best place to go A4 to Germany , but cars stopping there. Cought even truck once. Time vary, really depending on luck from 10min to 2h. U can also ask on near by gas station.”
“I would suggest hitching on the other side of the highway towards Wrocław, get out at the petrol station 5km away and change sides via the bridge. Since it's the last station in Poland you're guaranteed to get far rides!”

There is bus stop here - you should stay before this bus stop, because cars drive quite fast.”

“There's a toll station here for getting onto the A1. Great place for hitchhiking, although people will come to tell you that it's illegal to hitchhike on the highway, considering that "officially" you're on the highway when you're past the toll station, even though cars go really slowly and it's perfectly safe.
However, if you don't speak polish, it will take the person long enough to try to explain to you that you don't belong there that you'll get picked up by someone.”

“Towards Wroclaw it's a perfect place. Large side of the road which cars can stop, relatively close to two gas stations, and bus station. This route must pass almost anyone who wants to go to Wroclaw. Although traffic now goes mostly throu S8, but on the ring road in the direction of Wroclaw is very poorly constructed for the hitchhiker lane entrance. So it does not pay to walk almost 3 km to be much worse place. Here cars are always slow, and at least every second goes to Wroclaw. A lot of it is going to transit from Kluczbork ring road then towards the A4 motorway.”

“A bar here serves great food (recommended by our truck driver), but as a hitchhiking spot it is horrible.”
“One car stopped and offered to take us to Gora Kalwaria. We politely refused hoping to get a ride directly to the A2 highway. We ended up regretting this very much, as in search for a better hh spot we were forced to walk all the way there anyway (the road further to the west is horribly narrow, so hitching is pretty much impossible)”

―Kainaj, 02 Aug 2014

Góra Kalwaria
“Plenty of traffic and the spot seems relatively good for cars to stop (at least in comparison to what the rest of this road is like). The problem is that local drivers are more likely to laugh in your face than help you.”
“This is where we decided we couldn't take it anymore and gave up after my gf came back from the parking with tears in her eyes - local drivers mocked her for daring to ask for as much as a lift to the nearest bus station. Lots of traffic on the road, but no one stopped. A shockingly high percentage of drivers ignored us completely. I don't think I've ever been in a place where drivers seemed less willing to help.”

It's easy to get there. Just go to the last station of underground called Mlociny. Then take 114 towards Mlociny-UKSW. Get off at the Muzealna bus stop. Walk 150 m ahead towards Optima petrol station.
Ask drivers for a ride towards Plonsk(most of them go there) but not to the city - get out at the first petrol station after crossing Vistula river(Statoil). There You have only long distance rides - no local traffic:-)
In that way You can HH North despite weather and time (I did it during rain and even nights). Safe and fast!”

“You would probably only end up there if your driver drops you off at this point....if this happens directly walk into Augustov and find another way. There are many people from Lithuania doing their shopping in the supermarkets so you could also ask them on the parkings.”

“Belanie...who doesn*t know? I was standing there for no more than 5 minutes to travel to Germany / Bautzen. But the petrol station is hard to find if you don*t know the area. You have to walk to the otherside of belanie-park (you see the motorway and you have to walk through the tunnel under the motorway) if you arrive by bus at the Belanie-Park. Then you have to walk right over the field for ca. 500 meters. Then you*ll see the "Orlen"-Petrol Station.”

Good visibility and space to stop for cars.”

“Perfect spot for those who are trying to get out of Inowrocław to Poznań or Konin. The best option to get there is to get on the bus line 3,4,12 or 16 to "MĄTWY" and then walk about 500 m south. We waited for about 15 min to get the ride straight to Berlin!”
―MrTodoElMundo, 29 Oct 2015

―JackLatarnia, 28 May 2016

“As of May 2016 there's construction work going on at the roundabout. If you're heading towards Kraków or Czech Republic and don't want to enter the city, a good spot to get a ride to Bielany Wrocławskie is just where the lanes for the traffic from the roundabout and from the north merge. Not a lot of space, that's why I rate in only average, but due to the roadworks the cars drive slower. A police car passing didn't mind our presence there (we were wearing our reflective vests, might have helped). 10 minutes and we got a ride to Bielany.”

―Jeyparker, 31 Jul 2016

“Good place to HH to Poznań. 2016 - The place is under construction which gives even better opportunities. The cars don't speed because there is a roundabout. There's also a bus stop so cars have a place to stop. Stand as close to the roundabout as you can to give drivers time to make decision whether to stop on the bus stop. POZNAŃ sign is helpful. Look for P... or PO plates.”

“A lot of cars going East. After lights they don't go fast so that they are able to look at you and stop. Got a ride to Warsaw in 10 (!!!) seconds.”
“I was trying to catch something south and got stuck for 4 hours, senseless
“This spot is really poor. Not so much space on bus bay to stop and buses use it frequently, so it will be problematic for drivers to stop there. Furthermore nobody riding on 1st and 2nd lane will take you because it's too far and the 3rd lane is used mainly by TIRs. Those on 4nd lane might stop, but they enter to the traffic and look into their rearview mirrors, so if they see you they will have little time to decide whether to take you. I discourage from hitching here.”

Międzyrzec Podlaski

“A good spot to get a lift to Rzeszów or a highway A4. Enough space for trucks.”
“I found a lift to A4 after 15 min on late Sunday's afternoon (a truck that went to Bravinek, PL-SK border).
It is a gas station and little parking, the entrance has enough place to stop even a long wehicle car. Drivers can see you easily and have enough time for their reaction.”

“Direction Sandomierz; enough place for a long wehicle car, you are well seen by drivers who usually aren;t there very fast.”
“I went there on Sunday late morning (the last day of holidays), so there was almost not truks, and the traffic was much less than usually, but after 20 min I have found a passenger car (going to Niepołomice) that tooo me on the cross road after the turn to Niepołomice , so I got just cars going further.”

I waited there for two hours almost (during a long weekend here) and there stop just two cars, the second took me to a gas station in Katowice (direction Wrocław, DE).

Sławno
“good place to stop the car to Germany or Koszalin
bus stop”

“Not most safe, but not most dangerous neither. Cars go quite slowly (speed limit there 50 km) and are careful to enter the highway. Not enough space for any truck, enough for passenger cars. It is as I know illegaly to stope there any car, but... ;-)”
“I landed there on late Sunday afternoon (my previous driver left me on the exit 100 meters before), I walked along the exit/entrance, went over the small fance and bridg that dives the entrance and exit, stood at the ends and stopped cars for five minutes, withouth any paper sign.

Mszczonów
“To Piotrek Trybunalski, to Katowice, to Wroclaw. Not the best place to hhike (and I think it is even forbiden to walk or stay here), but I got a lift in 20 min here. A lot of trucks witch go from north of Poland to south use this road (50) to avoid entering Warschawa.

“To Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia. A lot of trucks in this direction - theris a place to stop for them. In the night is also good to hhike here because of a street lights. :)”

“This is a bus stop on Zakopiańska, which leads onto road 7/E77, south.
To get here, take tram 8 or 19 (I think) to Borek Fałęcki, the final stop, which is about a one km north of this point.
This seems like a good spot, but I did have to wait for quite a while.
You could also try walking south to the other spot which is right on 7/E77.

“Direction - Germany. Very fast speed and almost no chanse to get a car. If you are here - change position. You can walk or you can take a bus 01 or 02 for some bus stops.”

“To E67. Not the best place for hhiking, but cars stop here. After 500m there is a gas station, but it very dead place - local cars and sometimes trucks which are having 12 hours pauza exectly when you are asking for a lift... So it better to hhike here - you will save a time”

Syców
“Very high speed of cars and no place to stop without making a dangerous situation on the road. Avoid to hhike here. But if you was unlucky and was droped off here, just go a bit futher and try to hhike on the hill. You must be very lucky to stop somebody there.”

Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki
“Distanation - Bialostok (PL), Awgustow (PL), Kaunas (LT), Riga (LV), Tallin (EST), S.Petersburg (RU). A lot of truck drivers choose this way to avoid Warsaw. And here its a enough place to stop a car for driver, also because speed is very low after a turn.”

“To Warschawa. Enough place to stop for a car, street light is working in the night and a good nonstop trafic to the capital of Poland. :)”
“Very good spot to get a lift to Warsaw. I didn't have to wait more than around 5 mins”
―Kocian jr, 17 Apr 2011

“There is a bus stop and a lot of local cars. You can try to start here to hhike to Germany, but you will save a time if you just use a bus to get out of the city.”

“This is usally my first stop on the way from Wroclaw to Germany. Next to a petrol station. Not unusual to get a direct lift from here to Berlin or Dresden.”

“To Krakow. Stay on the top of the hill (in the night - under the street light) - so you will be visible from a distance and will not stay longer than 10 min, especialy if you put down on the plate your destination goal.”

“to Warsczawa. It is an old road from Germany to Warszawa. A lot of cars but mostly locals. Due to the big road reconstrucions on it - it become very unpopular for long distance drivers... Write down a destination place on your plate. ”

“To Germany, to Berlin. If I remember well, in Boczow there is a huge parking place for trucks, which are going to whole Europe. Try to ask for a lift there. If you need just to go to Berlin, stay on the road and hhike all cars in this direction. Car will appears very fast..:)”

“Junction of the motorway A2 with expressway. High speed of the cars and no emergency lanes to pull over. Hitchhiking here may be dangerous.”

“Get to Błonie (a last stop of many buses e.x. 52,52, 59, 62, 69, 92, N32). From there walk along the road (Szubińska), pass the gas staition (it's pointless to catch here- only local cars), go by bridge over the rail tracks and go straight for 100m. There is a perfect spot for those people going to Szubin, Żnin or further to Poznań, Wrocław.”

“Direction north towards Pila, Koszalin, Baltic Coast. There's a merge lane with bus stop. Trams 9 and 11 come very close to this place. Traffic jam happens quite often there so cars don't speed up.”

“Petrol station on the bypass, direction Szczecin, Berlin. You can get here by free bus 807 from Gdansk Zabianka, or bus 7 from Gdynia Karwiny going to Osowa Shopping Centre.”

“Not a good place, since 2km further the bypass is ending and merging the old DK8, where all transit is going, not here. I would suggest taking any bus from here to Długołęka”

“Petrol station in the direction Wrocław, Germany. You can either walk here from the centre of Katowice, or take bus 110, 672, 674, 910 from railway station and get off at Os. Paderewskiego Graniczna. Optionally you can get by any bus going to 3 Stawy Shopping Centre and walk by pedestrian bridge over motorway.”
“I was looking for a ride to Wrocław. There were few cars going out of the Silesian conurbation.”
“A lot of cars that were staying in the area. After an hour of asking around for a car to Wrocław I found a car that brought me directly to my destination in Germany.”
―ZulZul, 26 Aug 2011
“As said above, lots of local traffic but after about 30mins we managed to find a car to Wrocław. But if you want to catch a ride west from Silesia the best option are gas stations on the highway (A4) in Gliwice. I waited about 5 mins in Gliwice (to Wrocław).”
“Most of the traffic stopping at this British Petrolium tankstelle (wi-fi not available here, but You might find it at the McDonald's attached to it) is made of local drivers returning to Katowice. If You are headed towards Opole or Wrocław be ready to wait quite long. If You have questions please use the "Contact Me" section on my website www.claudioadrianodobre.com to get in touch with me. Hit the road hard ;)”
―Longhaul, 12 Jun 2013
“almost everybode drives around a area, but we were lucky to take a ride with bus driver, for free. good think there is McDonald's there.”
“I waited 1 second. It was Sunday and there was a lot of cars. I just asked someone if he goes to Wroclaw and he took me. I was lucky but I think it's very easy ;)”
“I was picked up there on my way from Krakow to Dresden, and even if tehre's a lot of cars (passengers mostly), lots of local traffic (because of McDonalds) I waited for an hour for anybody who could take me to the next, much bigger, gas station along A4. I was alone, at start with a sign with my destination, but quickly i started to ask personally. Probably the problem was that I was there on saturday during one a long weekends (with added national holiday) on Monday, and most cars were totally full (passengers and their baggage).”
“JACKPOT!
The first driver we approached on a Sunday morning (8am) took us to Wroclaw.”
―Cardinal, 27 Nov 2016

“to Warsaw:
take bus #103 from centrum (direction 'Choroszcz', http://www.komunikacja.bialystok.pl/rozk_start.asp
get out at the station 'Porosly' and hitchhike right from the bus-stop
or take bus #4 from centrum (direction 'Klepacka'), get out at the station 'Makro' and walk 1km to the bus-stop 'Porosly' right after junction with E67
“once I've got ride in 10 minutes, the second time I didn't get it at all.”
―Gatto, 14 Dec 2011
“Never stayed more than 15 min for Warsaw's ride's.”
“I've used this spot (even before the modernization) for the last 10 years whenever I've been going west. Thumbs up !”
“Never waited more than 20 minutes”

“any place on this road is good to hitchhike out of the 'gdansk gdynia sopot / tricity-area' in western direction. there is a lot of cars only commuting (meaning: driving around locally) so ask before how far someone can take you. on my personal rating from 1 to 10 (1 = poor, 10 = excellent) i want to give this place a '7'.”

“If you'll make a sign of place you want to go, your chances here are average.”
“we looked quite a long time for a good spot for heading eastwards, this appeared to be the best although its still quit shitty”
―Palihitcher, 19 Dec 2012

“Merge lane after junction with traffic lights for the direction of Bydgoszcz, Warsaw. You can get nearby by bus no. 1 or 15 direction Lelewela Petla and get off at Bydgoska-Lelewela.”

“Direction Poznan. There's emergency lane and it's not far from the traffic lights so cars don't go fast. You can get nearby by bus 1 or 15 direction Lelewela Petla and get off at Bydgoska-Lelewela.”

“It's a good place to reach Krakow. Many cars from Warsaw use this way I think. Cars are not so fast and there is a place to stop. 5-10 minutes waiting.”
“Dobre miejsce na Kraków (Kielce, Radom, Skarżysko)”

Przemy?l
“Easy to find just follow signs Rzeszow from city centre. It is a bus station just across the street from petrol station. Takes cca 30minutes, last part is up the hill. Got a ride in 5 minutes, great in direction of Rzeszov or Krakow.”

Grajewo
“There is a bus station it is easy to catch the car direction to Augustow, Suwalki.”
“Even though all GPS guided cars go through Bialystok now due to better pavement, this place still gets decent traffic to and from the Baltics by veteran drivers.”
―AnsisMalins, 20 Aug 2012

“Bus stop
Really good place to catch cars in the direction of A4, there's place for the cars to stop. We caught a car after 15 minutes with a sign "A4"”

Elblag
“To Braniewo/Kaliningrad. High speed, dangerous place and too little trafic.”
“I got a lift to Russian border in 30 min. If you are lucky you can also stop a Russian car as there are quite a lot of them going by this road.”
―PavietranySzar, 19 Aug 2013

Wroc?aw
“The only place to go west, but a little bit dangerous. No really place for the cars to stop. Try to catch cars coming from Wroclaw standing on their left on the gas station, there's some space to stop. We got a ride to Berlin within 15 minutes.”
“Some local guys told me this spot for hitchhiking to Dresden. I took the FREE bus from bus station (which is near the train station) to Auchan. (Yeah, you are right, it´s a shuttle bus of Auchan). Near the Supermart, you will find a gas station. But it´s not so ideal. You´d better walk southwest until the highway of A4. There is also a small gas tank. I was there just showing the sign, then came a guy asking me where I was heading for. Cool!”
―Bluephilosopher, 17 Jul 2011
“If heading A4 to Germany (Dresden) avoid people offering a ride to Legnica or even further, because the next petrol station is just before Gorlitz.”
―Sierak, 07 Sep 2011
“Agree: actually no place to stop cars. But it works! The gas station staff was nice (free boiling water). Eventually got a lift all the way to Frankfurt am Main.”
“30 minutes to Legnica, two boys on their road to Berlin. But it's much easier to get a ride to Dresden/Leipzig than to Berlin from there.”
“great spot to go west! ideal for drive to germany and further !
just ask people on the petrol station:)
“When we arrived here we already saw about 8 hitch hikers and we were thinking that we'll never gonna get a ride from there. But there is not many other places so we stayed there. And it turned out to be a very nice place for waiting. it was nice to chat whit other hhikers and use gas stations toilet :D and maybe after two hours we got a ride to Dresden...”
―Pietari, 09 Aug 2013
“Got there at 8 in the morning and there were already 2 girls hitching by the exit of the station. After they got a ride to Dresden, I took their spot, as I was also headed in the direction of Dresden. Took 1hr 45mins to get a ride. They just stopped in the middle of the road and waved me over, blocking the traffic behind them.
Another female hitcher got a ride in about 10 mins, but I think she wasn't going as far. She stood by the trash bins.
One positive thing: I may soon be immortalized on Street View, as a Google car passed by me while I stood there!”

“good spot to get to Berlin
just behind the border gate. cars are riding slowly here and its easy to impress somebody. Anyway, there´re some cars stopping so you can ask them.”

Gda?sk
“A perfect place to hitch to Elblag/Warsaw. Take out at "Rafineria" bus stop and stay after the lights.”
“My girlfirend and I were waiting there very short. Nice place to hitch - just be prepared and take a carboard with the destination name with you.”
―Zimmer hans, 20 Jun 2011
“waiting over 1hour
me and my female firend were waiting very long time, and we are girls ! we met two boys who were waiting all previous day and that day;) , and finally we stopped the car for four of us. As i remember it was public holiday it was the reason (but lot's of cars were passing us almost empty!) generally: long waiting but quite good place- there is a busstop and the traffic lights before- cars are driving slowly.
“Waited some time (45 min) but worth it because a truck took me for 250 km to Glinojeck (100 km of Warsaw where I was going)”
―Anabis, 20 Jul 2014

“Very good place. Lots of cars going directly to Gdansk or Olsztyn. There's a place to stop and cars are not driving very fast. There's also McDonald's near the road.
It's easy to go there. Just go to the last station of underground called Mlociny. Then took 114 towards Mlociny-UKSW. Get off on the dzierzoniowska bus stop (you need to press 'stop' button) and then go back to the big road.”
“Best spot ever, never waited more than 10 minutes”
“I agree with last comment, it's great place, there were 3 of us (two girls and one guy) and we waited 2 minutes”
“We waited here about 1h30minute, but we had a group of 16 persones and we went to Toruń :)”
―Dadzios, 07 Dec 2015

“Road leading to the motorway (typical Polish overland road with lots of space to come to a halt). Got a ride here within minutes to Wroclaw.
―European Ant, 31 Jul 2011

“Direction to Warshaw”
“There was a car waiting for hitchhikers:) Best spot I have ever been at.”

“On this street on the peninsula it's quite easy to find a ride in both directions, at least in summer, when there are lot of tourists. There were many other people hitchhiking, I recommend you!”
―Michelemormino, 15 Jul 2011

“Tried here direction direction Olsztyn, but it was quite senseless, although almost all traffic is passing the city here. Lots of cars, not a single one stopped in one hour and we went walking towards end of city.”
―Jeensg, 28 Apr 2011

Gmina Ożarów Mazowiecki
“Good place to leave Warsaw and head West. There is only one lane in each direction, the traffic is slow and it's quite easy to catch a ride. Use the sign to avoid local short lifts.”
“I would recommend not using a sign because most traffic will just show they're only going local. You need all the help you can get to travel past the first 100km before you're on the highway to Poznań, so don't aim for the long rides only!”
“managed to find a car to A2 quite fast (15 min), was holding Poznań sign. Good spot, u can stand on the bus stop.”
“No luck for me in midday hours. Gave up and took some local bus to get out of the city. Prefer hitching from Blonie (which you can also reach by train from Warsaw).”
―Chaosu, 07 May 2012

“You can do everything there. Huge gas station where you can ask truck drivers, really popular place amongst them, or you can stand by the road, you are seen very well, and there is plenty of space to stop.”

Olkusz
“There is a bus station where you can stand even at night! All the locals hitchhike from there. At 4.00 in the morning the first car to pass took us.”
―Miles, 27 Jun 2011

Sokółka
“The spot to Bialystok.
In front of the petrol station, there is a lot of space for the cars to stop and they can see you from far away and you're just out of the city, so you avoid most of the local traffic (and it's not far from the center)”

“Yup, You can go from here to the way to Cracov, but for me Krakowska street is just tiring, and I prefer to go by Przegibek, Straconka, I did this spot, You can read description, just turn map down and right;))”

“Quite big parking, the last one before the border. A lot of trucks stop here, but you can try to stop cars going from both sides: from the parking and from the road.”
―Marcel Duchamp, 29 Aug 2011
“After 15 min. I got the lift directly to Vienna (and I caught it on the road).”
“Many trucks going to Slovakia, but it was hard to find any to Czech or Austria.”
―Oscypek, 26 Aug 2012
“You can ask in the parking truck drivers, if You have luck this day You can go to Istambul w Turkish driver, because many Turkish drivers stop here. But, it's not good place for thumb, better go after border, there is a long tight bay;)”
“It's better to walk 2km along the highway to hitchhike at petro station.”
―Derektamhy, 17 Dec 2013

“I walk out from the city centre and this was the frist place I found that Cars could pull over. Not the best place but it worked. I don't think there would be anough room for trucks to pull over! Waiting time: 30mins”
―Jonathan litchfield, 05 Sep 2011

“Tankstaton. lots of people stop due to McDonald. I never waited more than 20 min to get a lift to Wrocław or Kraków. the tankstation are Another Side Crosable so it is perfect place to get to regardles the direction you hitch to. There is a & free shower & exit to the near-by forest to put up the tent (from the krakow direction) & to a small town (from the "to Wrocław" direction) ”
―Jurarafal, 26 Sep 2011
“Amazing place! The third car I asked for a ride took us to Wrocław :).”
“When going to Cracow from Wroclaw it's the last decent place to hitch, because you need to avoid Katowice. Next is tollbooth.”
“Many cars (passengers and trucks) stop here to fill the cars, to rest, eat - lots of choices. I was alone (a girl) and after asking a few drivers (it was at long weekend when most of big trucks can't drive) I found a small truck exactly to dresden when I was going on.

Gmina Dobra
“Good spot to get to northen Part of Germany (Lubeck, Kiel) and Danmark (or to Poland). There is medium-sized gas station with parking for trucks. Ask truck drivers for lift. Rather small chances to catch civil car.
There are buses going from Szczecin to the stop near this station. ”
―Shelob, 26 Jan 2012

Puławy
“824 towards Kazimierz Dolny. Good spot, traffic is still quite slow and more than enough space to stop here. Maybe showing you need a short ride will help, because it's local traffic only on this minor road.”

“I got dropped of here on my way to the A2. Maybe in better conditions not so bad, but with slippery and icy conditions no car wanted to stop. If you get stuck here like me, ask drivers waiting at the road coming from the western road if you can get a ride to the next roundabout (where 50 and 2 split).”

“At busstop.
In direction of Warschau (Warszawa)
With sign "WWA" which is short for Warschau, standing there for ~10 mins.
Not the most ideal place, but you shouldnt have to go much further out of town. You can walk a few meters away from the city so cars have more space to stop.
To get here take a bus, read http://hitchwiki.org/en/Krakow ”
“The next traffic light worked for me better, 30 min to get a lift to Warsaw”
“good spot, even with WWA(warsaw) sign a lot of people offered me ride to Kielce. ”
“took us 3h to get a lift to warszawa, but it was on a sunday and most cars were already full.”
“not WWA! people :P
write like that:
Warszawa or
WAWA or
W-WA (better than WWA)”
“Got a ride directly to Warsaw in a couple boy-girl with a sign WWA. Waited 20 min. Good spot - traffic lights and enough space to stop :)”
―Martinio, 05 Jul 2016

Kórnik
“Behind the brigde, just before roundabout it is a small spot. There isn't roadside, but car can easily stop over here. I easily get lift to Poznan.”

“Not the best spot, but traffic is slow so you won't be spending too much time here I think. Cars have a shoulder to stop on.”

Poznań-Krzesiny
“Really a bad place for starting trip into the warsaw direction. You can stay here before Autobahn sing (for cars which turn right). But its a small narrow site, high speed...”
―Valoshca, 20 Apr 2012

“There is a small place for hitchhiking just around pedestrian crossing. We get lift to the Austria from this spot.

Gmina Zabierzów
“there's a place right behind the roundabout, where cars can stop. direction Katowice/Wroclaw. They have to go slowly, as they just come out of the roundabout, and they will go directly on the highway - so the probability is very high, that someone can take you at least till katowice. from there you can continue easily!
you get there by bus 292 or 208, to the airport and then walk back some 100 meters.”
―Better dressed, 14 Oct 2012
“Also good for direction Warsaw, since a lot of people will use the road going along the north of Krakow to get to the centre. You can easily be dropped off somewhere on road 7 heading north.”
“There is good place fo cars to stop, we were going to katowice and waited about 1 hour.”
―Flowerbear, 29 Sep 2014

Zabrze
“Somewhere there's a Petrol station area here on this road so if your driver goes into Gliwice or you are on the A4 instead of the A1 this is a good spot for going to the South :) ”

“i prefered standing right at the entrance to the gas station, its a bit safer because cars see you in advance”

“It took a boy and girl about 15min to get a 15km lift to Terka in August (they say there's very little traffic in the region in all the year except July and August)”
“There's also a bus stop on the other side of the road”

Radymno
“Not as good as it seems... Big petrol station with restaurant. After 10min we were offered a lift to Rzeszów by a car heading out of town but we wanted to get a lift straight to Kraków... Then we couldn't catch anything further than to Jarosław so after an hour on the station we decided to thumb on the roadside. After about 10min we got a lift to Jarosław.”

Maków Podhalański
“Many cars passing, not going very fast. After about 10 minutes of walking with sign "BABIA" (indicating that we want to get to Zawoja which is located below mountain of Babia Góra) and thumbing at passing cars we got a lift to Zawoja :). I think you could also easily get a lift here to Jordanów or Rabka. :)”

“There is a bus bay, you can catch from here drivers in directions for Kalisz or Ostrów Wielkopolski”
―Waleń, 08 Oct 2012

Nowy Sącz
“Not good spot, lots of local traffic. Anyway, you can get there by bus no. 24 from the center. If you head Slovakia, better cross the border in Muszynka.”

“Great place for summer hitchhiking, especially on weekends! Lots of cars belonging to tourists from all Poland (but mainly Kraków and Silesia) visiting Babia Góra (Diablak) are parked here. After 5 min of asking on a sunny August Saturday me and my friend found a car going straight to KRAKÓW.”

“A bus stop, low visibility, but this is best place you can get in 2 miles radius to thumb a ride to Gniezno.”
―SznycelWagen, 29 Aug 2012

gmina Cisna
“There's a nice bus station but we didn't even managed to get there (walking from the crossroads in the center of the village) while a car going to Hoczew stopped for us :). Hitch-hiking in Bieszczady Mountains during the touristic season (July&August) is amazing!”

“You can thumb for a ride to Lublin, Chełm, Krasnystaw here. Its near the shop where drivers have stop for food. You can ask them for a ride. ”
―SznycelWagen, 29 Aug 2012

“Our friends, boys and girls, were offered a ride straight to Kraków on a parking lot while we (boy and girl) got a lift to Cisna while walking through the village and sticking out our thumbs.”

“There's a bus stop, but this is really bad place. Almost only local traffic. After 1h15min of trying to get to PRZEMYŚL a driver stopped, told us that hitch-hikers are often stuck here for few hours and took us 10km out of town to a better place.”

“The cars passing here are quiet fast (about 100 km/h)
But after half an hour we catched a ride to Bautzen (Germany).

“It looked good - bus station and a gas station, but when we asked for a lift to Kraków driver said that it's not a good spot and took us to a better spot on the western part of the city,”

“There's no place for (legal) hitch over here, but I tried there few times and it takes about 30 sec to get something - it's worth it!”

“Big service station. Great spot to catch a long international lift. There's a good deal of traffic with LT plates. I easily caught one and got an overnight ride to Lithuania.”

“It looks to be a nice spot with traffic lights and a gas station just after, but it is actually a bad place to stand to go at Wroclaw.”

“There are two parking lots nearby the castle. The first car we asked took us to botanical garden in BOLESTRASZYCE (20km north), driving to PRZEMYŚL. It was nice summer Sunday so there were lots of tourist from all the Subcarpathian region.”
“I meant that they were driving THROUGH Przemyśl :).”

“Great place - a parking lot and a bus stop by the famous botanical garden. The parking was full because it was August Sunday. The first car offered us a ride straight to KRAKÓW, but we wanted to go to PRZEMYŚL. We got a ride in less than 10 minutes.”

Kutno
“Next to the intersection there's a market called Biedronka - you can see truckers stopping on the shoulder to go some shopping there and eventually ask them for picking up :) it worked for me ! I had to leave him in Września which is close to Poznań - but for that I would go with him even to France !”
―Krzych machinehead, 28 Jun 2012

“One guy dropped me here and told me I could hitch to Zakopane. After an hour waiting one local walking past told me that noone uses that road so it was a waste of time. Get to Nowy Targ if you are hitching from Krakow to Slovakia.”

“We didn't even wanted to get as far as Brno but the ride was so fun that we decided to put Prauge on hold :)”
―Mateo, 17 Sep 2012
“Two hitchhikers with backpackes got picked up to Brno (and could go until Hungary) in a second.”

gmina wiejska Zgorzelec
“MOP Żarska Wieś, A4 direction Wrocław. A bridge just south of the service station gives you a possibility to change to the other side (direction Germany).”
―Koendev, 21 Nov 2012

“Took bus #304 to Prokocim CPN and walked a bit. For Tarnow it's kind of hard, because a lot of people take the motorway instead. Try to get some short rides.”

“Not a lot of traffic and workers will probably sent you away if you try to hitch behind the toll station. After the roundabout is okay though. Might be good to have a sign to indicate your direction.”

“Bus stop, quite good spot to go Zgorzelec direction A4, but lots of cars going to Złotoryja, so you need to have a sign.”

“"there is always somebody who pick you up" It is works for me after 7hours! waiting with sign Suwalki. There are lot of traffic and place to stop but rarely
anybody like to do it.
Do not be trapped there !!!
So do not be trapped there!”
―Hillar, 19 May 2013

“Best place direction Olsztyn.
take bus nr 21 or 37 to Bajeczna and then walk 450m further. This spot is just after the crossing, where the all truck join the road from bypass.”

“take bus nr 13 to "Zatoka Miła"
Lots of place to hitch direction Torun, Poznan even Gdasnk. Cars are driving quite quickly. The worst thing are brokers, who are staying in this place every sunday morning and waiting for a people going to the car exchange. Sometimes You can wait for a ride 20sec and from the other hand more than 2h.”

Świerklany
“There's a bus stop somewhere on this road so if You get dropped off here You'll have the whole fucking highway going next to You with like 20km/h because of the construction :D ”
―Asdam, 21 Apr 2013

“I heard, that all the traffic from PL and the baltic countries to Romania, Bulgaria and even directly to Turkey goes through there. Never used it though.”
―Moose, 30 May 2013

gmina Ustrzyki Dolne
“You arent allowed to cross the border by foot (only possible in Medyka). No trucks here. If you are stranded here, try to stop a car passing the queue of waiting vans and cars - they usually do not have to declare anything and will be much faster over the border. Careful, some of them are speeding quite high.”
“All of the waiting vans and cars were full, so I tried to stop passing cars with my passport visibly in my left hand. After 2h a car stopped and took me over the border. Later, I payed him my last 10 Zloty, but he organized me a free bus ride into Lviv.”
“PL to UA - It isn't crowdy (on the border - we got a ride from border police from Ustrzyki to the crossing), but the sixth car going to Sambor took us - driver did not want any money from us (but from other passengers - yes).”

Skarżysko-Kamienna
“Good place to get lift to Kielce, Kraków, Katowice. There is a pedestrain crossing (without lights, but good visibility) and a small sandy shoulder, good to stop. Take a card with direction you are going to. We found a lift just before darkness, very lucky :)”

Rybnik
“There's a bus stop. IMHO the best place to hitch towards Gliwice. Got a lift in less than 5 min.”
―Moose, 30 Apr 2013
“The place there is very good. It was a day with no traffic at all (Sunday) and the second car pick us up (a girl and me)”

“Bykowce, final stop of city bus 4 (Sanoczek - Bykowce). Here you can find the schemes (routes) and schedules:
We (two boys) waited 50min here to get ride to BIRCZA. Not too good, but still the best spot I tried from SANOK towards PRZEMYŚL. The road is not too busy. It was late afternoon and our driver was coming back home from work in Sanok”

“Bus stop nearby GALERIA RZESZOW shopping centre. We mistook that place for NOWY SWIAT shopping centre (2km westwards) and spent 45min hitching with a sign 'KRAKOW' with no result. Then we took bus no. 22 to the village of TRZCIANA and succeed there.”

Cieszyn
“Right after Czech-Polish boarder.
Not so many cars, mostly trucks.
Good to hitchhike to Bielsko-Biala.”

Kluczbork
“Bus stop, plenty of space for vehicles to stop.”
“Great spot heading Opole; I hitchhiked from this bus stop twice and both times the waiting time was less than 5 minutes.”

gmina Cedry Wielkie
“the junction with S7 is already done so it's a spot with most south/east traffic”
“Pretty much traffic but the speed is quite high. It might take some time to stop someone.”
―PavietranySzar, 19 Aug 2013

“Trafic lights and bus stop. During the rush hours lots of cars going to Żory, Bielsko Biała or Cieszyn. ”
“Very good place to go to Mikolow, Cieszyn, Zory.”

“All the spot are very good, I just show this spot even if you're under the rain, here there is a bridge, it saved me.”

“In direction of Warszawa. Next to a gaz station. Take a bus (503 I believe) from the middle center and walk 5min; I have waited 15min maybe.”

“To Warsaw or Lodz is the only place to be. Ring road makes traffic bypasses the city and you need to get to her to catch anything. In addition, at this point intersects many transit routes, and more. It's easier to catch at this point in the direction of Warsaw / Lodz than in Wroclaw because in Wroclaw it is difficult to identify a single place on the ring road, which catches and those who leave the city and those who bypass the city. By OLEŚNICA practically no one travels in the direction of Lodz / Warsaw etc. So if if you want to go further, try to avoid the entrance to the city, because then there is a few kilometers making around to good road!”

Lesko
“direction: Sanok, Krosno, Rzeszow
200m from bus station, 400m from rondabout. Big lay-by before the Biedronka market”

“A good spot for those heading towards the south.”
“It took me 20 minutes to catch a good ride towards Barwinek even though it was a national holiday and there was little traffic. ”
―Kurdemol94, 05 May 2014

“In theory the place is perfect. The traffic is slow because of road works on the bridge and there's a great bus bay. However I had no luck in saturday and stayed there over 2 hours without success.”

“the entrance to the highway.”
―Foerno, 23 Feb 2014
“People from the city centre go to the S3 to the soth, and can stop just after leaving the zwierzyniecka street. good place to hitchhike to wrocław”

“Very good spot for Poznan. there is enough space for car to stop and they are driving slow because of crossroad before.”
―Cro gavran, 16 Jul 2013

“it is aa small gas station, but because the last car left me there i didn't had any choice. I got a truck in 10 min, in direction to Cottbus, but he goes to Dresden so he left me few km away in a very big car park.”

“Senseless to hitchhike on the road, cars are speeding You can try to ask someone on the BP petrol station. However after 3h we were adviced by local man to go hitchhike on the local road, 100m beside. ”
―Hiiamfrompoland, 22 Jul 2013

Racibórz
“Very good place to hitchhike towards A4 motorway (Krapkowice), Opole, Wrocław. There's a nice place on the side of the road where cars can stop with ease. 5-10 min waiting time.”
―Szczeponiok, 16 Oct 2013

“Good place to catch a car to Węgrów, Sokołów Podlaski, Siemiatycze or Białowieski National Park. There is a diamond line, cars are going slow (because of rondo before this spot). YOu can get there from city centre by train S2 from Dworzec Śródmieście (close to Centrum metro station). Get out at Warszawa Wesoła station.”

“There You can easy find car to direction Kraków[west] or Tarnów[east]. You should hitchhike before parking. It's not problem at night because there is many lights, good and easy place. :)
“Good if you're going to Kraków. I'd spent 40 minutes waiting for a lift to Rzeszów when I decided to go to Kraków instead, once I changed my sign I literally waited just a few seconds for the first car to stop.”
―Kurdemol94, 05 May 2014

“In direction Wroclaw”
“Very good spot, direction Wrocław. Got a lift in few minutes. ”

Sulechów
“It is the best spot to get to Zielona Gora, but because of the new freeway, there are cars going also to the north direction (Swiebodzin, and further)”
―Pawel.wita, 20 Jul 2013

“Petrol station. There was a few people on the petrol station and I asked them for 20mins with no succes. Then my friend went out to thumb directly on a highway. She caught a car to Chrzanow (between Katowice and Krakow) after 10mins of thumbing.”

“cars have to stop at traffic lights but otherwise they are going very fast. best to have a sign because road splits here. ”
―Chaosu, 09 Jul 2013

“You can try stop car here for 15 minutes, and if You don't catch something go straight behind Castorama, then with full confidence You have to stop someone;) I have been on this spot couple times, and sometimes i went to the next place, sometimes I flew away;)”

“bus stop, direction Przemyśl and L'viv
nothing special, but works also during night for me :) I think its the default spot to exit Rzeszów to the east”

gmina Sulechów
“Good spot if you are going from Sulechow to Poznan. You can catch a lift earlier, but since they built a bypass, it is easier here.”

“Pretty much all cars passing through Koszalin go past this bus stop, are moving pretty slowly after the roundabout, and can stop at the bus stop. Not ideal for getting out of Koszalin, but pretty good if you got dropped off near the edge like we did.”

Elbląg
“Very good place for Hitchhiking to Braniewo, Pasłęk and Warsaw, but when going to Warsaw write shorter distance like Ostróda. ”

“Bus Stop "Sękocin Las". On this side you can check best conection from any place in Warsaw to here. (http://warszawa.jakdojade.pl)
Place is big enough even for a track driver and has traffic light.
Good Advise: If you are going from Warsaw to Kraków, don't let the driver to left you in Kielce. There is no gas station nearby, what mean the driver will has to take to the city, where you will lose a lot of time. The best way on this route is to do it in one, maximum in to stops. First on "Sękocin Las" wait for a car to Radom, where there are two great Roundabout to hitchhike. First near the enter to Radom and other near the exit to Kraków. Most cars are just passing thought Radom so it's not a problem to caught a car near the enter. If car from Warsaw won't take you to Kraków you can easily cauth someone on one of the Roundabout.
Good Luck :D”
“Bus stop Senkocin Las (http://warszawa.jakdojade.pl), Nice spot with shelter and enough place to stop the car. It's the strait route to Radom and Krakow so you already have a car selection. Good luck”
“Good place if you want to travel to Kraków. Got lift in less than 5 minutes, but I was very lucky :)”

“MOP Morawica
Station at Morawica
You can easly catch something to Rzeszów. It's good place too if you go to East (Ucraina),
From Kraków you can get there by bus 209 and 226 (near is bus stop Morawica, you have to walk about 10-15min to station)”

“I hitchhiked here at 23.30, in front of Police station, But is a good spot to Rzeszow, because you have plenty of light, a pedestrian crossing, and cars came after a curve, so don't have to much speed. i stayed 5 minutes.”

Świebodzice
“Road 35 from Świebodzice to Wałbrzych. Spot is on road 34, just after the bend there's a wide shoulder for cars to stop, after they are already in the right lane for Wałbrzych.”

Czechowice-Dziedzice
“Very good place if you go to Katowice. A lot of cars stop in the petrol station and two restaurants. If you go east, you can choose petrol station in the second side of the road.
You can go here by local bus from Czechowice-Dziedzice and Bielsko-Biała. Lines number VII or 50 to Wyspiańskiego Street and later go like in the map. In case of troubles, ask for McDonald's. You can buy tickets from driver.”
―KrypolPL, 16 Oct 2013

“junction of 297/Road 12 to Głogów/Leszno. During the day should be easy to catch a car, traffic from 297 is slow. Completely dark during the night!”
“We decided to walk to the first village (Szprotawka), to stand in the light, but managed to get a ride before that :)”

“On the bus stop, good spot to catch a car to the center of Cieszyn, but no further. However, from Cieszyn you can go 30min by foot to another good spot.
We spend about 15min waiting here. ”
―Hiiamfrompoland, 22 Jul 2013

“Toll booth Żdżary just before exit Konin-east on A2 Warsaw - Świecko.”
“Very good spot but to get there use one of the gates near bridge or ask nicely a guard and use gate for highway workers because the guard may get lower salary because of YOU!”

“Good spot on the road 35 towards Wrocław. Traffic is a little bit fast here, but it doesn't matter because there's a huuuuge parking/shoulder they can just slow down on, and they will :)”
“Direct ride to Wrocław after 5 min!”

Jaworzno
“Petrol station. First car we asked took us (boy&girl) to Krakow. It was in the evening, already dark. It should not be a problem to find someone going in direction Myslenice (south from Krakow) or Tarnow (east from Krakow).”

“calm old road to Skoczów, and Cieszyn, there is small chances to catch car directly to Cieszyn, but on this road You have no problem, many places here, just walk straight with thumb;)”

“Bus stop on crossing Piłsudskiego/11 Listopada. Road 381 towards Kłodzko. Nice spot close to the city centre, saves the walk to the crossing of 381/379, so also good for rides towards Swidnica/Wrocław.”

Niepołomice
“Quite good spot - bus stop - near elementary school. I tried to catch somebody to get me to Kraków. It took 20 minutes.”
―Atomek, 01 Nov 2013
“no problems to go hiking from Niepołomice to Kraków!
Niepołomice are one of the wealthiest cities in PL but people are still nice”

“A bus stop towards Barwinek (Poland-Slovakia border), it's located just behind a crossing so cars go considerably slow. ”
“I got a lift from here directly to Budapest, I was waiting for 30 minutes with a budapest sign so in my opinion it's a really good time considering the distance which is over 400km.”

Stalowa Wola
“Nice bus stop just after traffic lights. Good spot if you want to travel south along 77 road in small car. There is a a small shop next to the spot as well as hospital on the other side.”

“It's depends, but sometimes you must waiting there for 5 min, sometimes 30 min ;) To Opole, Wrocław, to Kraków it's also easy ;) ”
“good spot to wroclaw i kraków”

“girl and boy waited 2minutes :)”
“Ive never waited longer than 10 min here, great spot!”

“Here's the spot towards Mszana, Rabka and further Czech or Slovakia. City bus numer 42 (date:06.2014). I wainted here, just after a crossroad about 15 min to get to Rabka. Write Limanowa (half-way to Rabka), Mszana or Rabka.
―Wenamarth, 23 Jun 2014

“There's not much traffic, but also this means you're visible and cars can easily slow down. We were worried based on other reviews, but got a ride to Augustow within 5 minutes (standing right before the large parking lot with Kantor booths). Love, The Cack”
―East cackalacky, 25 Jun 2014

“The main road when you go to Cracov. Everyone who wants to get there, go this way, traffic rather high. You can get here by citybus (6.2016 it is number 5) to bus station "Tarnowska - Galeria Szubryt". If you can't catch anything, 1,5 km further there's a bus stop where you can take a bus to Cracov (2hrs travel - 14 zł).”

Ostrołęka
“Such a great point to hitchhike directly to Warsaw :) I was travelling alone, waiting for a car less then 30 min”

“There are traffic lights in front of McDonald's. Many trucks going to Lithuania and Latvia, just show a sign while they will be standing on the traffic lights. 5 mins max during a day”
―Pilek, 25 Jun 2014

“Got to A2 through opened gates of fence. There was a lock but it was opened. Ride on train to Pruszkow and then come ti here, but be be aware that it is an extremely unsuitable point.”
―Manius many, 07 Jul 2014

“Bus stop -Direction Olkusz.
Seems nothing special, but it works if you go to the smaller towns.
Better than waiting in stupid petrol which is near:)”

Bolków
“Rather avarage spot towards Jelenia Góra. Local gas station, don't bother to ask there. Just stand near the entrance and wave at passing cars. There's a crossing and you are seen easly.”
―JKowalczyk, 08 Aug 2014

Swarzędz
“Bus stop "Skansen" in Swarzędz just at the side of the busy 92 road leading to Września and further to Warsaw. Many people heading for Warsaw use this road as it leads straight from the centre and is toll-free. There is a frequent 401 bus going there from Śródka Dworzec in Poznań, costing just 2.60 PLN (9.2014). The spot is just after street lights, so cars regularly stop there and the speed limit is 50 km/h so they have enough time to react and stop.”
“I waited there 11 minutes and got a direct lift to Warsaw. As this is a bus stop, there is also a shelter in case of rain.”
“1h of wait but worth it as the guy literaly drop me central warsaw , he wass going to a meeting , nice mercedes car !”

“NOT A HITCHHIKING PLACE! Place where you can get a ride do Auchan (Park Handlowy Auchan Bielany) and further to the south to motorway junction Bielany Wrocławskie (A4/DK35/DK5). Then you can walk for 5-10 min to gas station on the A4 highway, where you can get a ride towards Germany (on north station) or to Kraków or Ukraine (on south station)”

“bad bad place direction czech repuublic, two hours and nobody stops, but in case youre are lost there, teh hotel over the street has good toilets and we ask for some food and they even prpared something for us, without monay
and in case you are very lost their just talk the walk to the next petrol station on highway its not that far away. ”
―TeeTramp, 16 Nov 2014

Ostrów Mazowiecka
“I think this is the best place if you want to get a ride to Lomza or further north. Unfortunately due to the lack of public transport you need to walk here from the city center. ”

“A good spot to catch a ride to Ostroleka and from then either head West to Warsaw or North to Olsztyn -> Elblag -> Gdansk. Both cars and trucks can stop here. Been using this spot since 2004. ”
―Wild board, 22 Nov 2014

Nowy Targ
“Not sure about this spot. It´s a bus stop and cars are going pretty fast. We waited there around 50 minutes with Krakow sign, then we changed it for Rabka and got a ride in two minutes. ”

“North direction. Not a great spot but there is some gravel to stop at the side of the road in front of the gas station. Trucks are unlikely to stop due to the lack of space. Got a ride to Augustow in 15 mins (it was also dusk).”

“First decent spot after Suwalki IMO (South direction). There is a short onramp where I managed to get a ride within a few minutes.It is too short, however, for the trucks, especially having in mind that there is usually heavy traffic there. Alternatively, on the other side of the road there is a large truck stop where you might get long international rides.”

Przysucha

Zambrów
“If you are going South (Czyzew -> Siedlce -> Radzyn -> Lublin)
It's not like a proper hitchhiking spot. I usually start to here and with my thumb up work my way south down the road. Sometimes you can get a ride in 5 min sometimes in an hour.
―Wild board, 22 Nov 2014

Świdnica

“Petrol station, direction city.
In fact some drivers from here cross the road and go back to Kraków/west, so if its raining go here and you will find somebody sooner or later.”

“North direction. There is a long and wide onramp. Stand at the end of it as cars are reducing speed there (60-70 kmh at that point). Got a ride quickly to Warsaw. ”

Kraśnik
“Bus stop with a lot of space for cars and trucks. Good place to catch a ride South - Bieszczady mountains/Slovakia.
Janow Lubeslki -> Nisko -> Rzeszow -> Krosko -> Barwinek/Lesko ”

“The road here is the old school of Polish civic engineering at its "finest" - which means that the road could be any narrower and the trenches on its sides are as deep as possible. No chance whatsoever of stopping anyone, even walking near the road is difficult and dangerous.”

“Entry to the Warsaw-Berlin A2 motorway. Enough place for a car to stop next to the roundabout, just before the motorway sign.”
“The cars drive slowly as this place is just behind a roundabout - good for us!”

“Toward PRZEMYSL - L'VIV.
Big trafic at medium-slow speed (wayout of city).
A bus stop permit to cars to stop.
You can go there by foot but it's far away from city-center. Some urban-buses come here.”
―Railway, 20 Jan 2015
“Spot testé en novembre 2014 avec pancarte PRZEMYSL.
Attente un peu longue (un peu plus d'une heure) mais très bon spot pour qu'une voiture s'arrête. Néanmoins, le trafic semble surtout local.”
“I make hitch-hick here in november 2014 with sign PRZEMYSL.
A bit long wait (one hour) but good dpot for a car stop.
Trafic is look like local trafic.”

“A good place to stand - a bus stop visible from a distance. We caught a short hike to Gniezno from this place. ”
―Jeyparker, 31 Jul 2016

Wejherowo
“Enough place to stop, and right after the lights so the cars are not too fast. Decent place to start going west.”

“This place between roads coming from both directions of highway has proven to be very good if used wisely because a bit further there are traffic lights so if you want to go to let's say Zakopane, you can see license plates of cars from both directions and can wave just on those with KTT and there is plenty of place to stop there even for truck :)”

“Quite little petrol station ORLEN but everyone here is going in direction of Katowice.”
―Paczix, 22 Sep 2015
“We were staying at the entrance of petrol station, we were very lucky because we got a girl to Katowice after less than a minute.”

“this spot is on a way to gdańsk, but since there is quite close highways(Stryków), the traffic is smaller I think. but I got ride in 20 min”

Knurów
“Small parking on a highway (A1) goes to Ostrava,Olomouc, Brno. To catch car its better to stay on a highway close to the enterance to the parking, so cars can enter the parking and rick you up. its rather difficult because cars have high speed.
for us it takes 20-25 min to catch car to brno.”
―Galina Svetova, 04 Sep 2015

Lwówek Śląski
“Perfect spot towards Jelenia Góra, you are visible from a longe distance and there is plenty of space for cars to pull over.”

“Fairly enough room for cars to stop, very visible place, mostly local cars, direction Wieluń and Częstochowa.
You can also try the nearby parking in front of the restaurant "Chata Walichnowska" for various directions.”
―Moryc, 03 Aug 2015

“Przystanek zaraz za zjazdem z autostrady w stronę Siedlec. Jeżeli kierowca jedzie tylko do Kałuszyna, poproś, żeby zostawił Cię na tym przystanku, bo z Kałuszyna nie ma jak wyjechać.
Bus stop after exit from motorway to Siedlce. You should choose this bus stop if you want to go to Siedlce, but driver is going only to Kaluszyn, 'cause its hard to exit this city :)”

“there is a bus stop but well.. it seems to be good spot for the highway direction gdańsk and also route to wrocław but i had bad luck there at a friday evening ”
“I had cought a car after 15 min here towards Lodz, most people go Wrsaw thou. Very poor place for south direction”

“over here, but also the next km or more ... there's enough space for cars to stop along the road...
we hitch hiked without a sign and waited 30min to get a ride to Nowa Deba, we got dropped off over there, as our driver went to Kraków, but was so nice to drive us to that point.”

“I got there with the bus 35 and stopped at Odlegla II. The stop before (Slupska) may be better because at this point cars are driving already a bit fast but they have room to stop. I got picked towards the north after a long wait by a truck driver.”
―Cigale, 13 Mar 2015

“Good place to Kraków direction. Drivers can stop well on the sliproad and can see you from far. Traffic must slow down because there is a pedestrian crossing. On the gas station you can ask personally. Heavy traffic goes to Kraków.”

“Many locals on the way, was really hard to pick a ride towards Wrocław. After an hour a guy took us to MOP Wirek, where you can find drivers heading to west.”
―Earter, 20 Aug 2015

“Good place for the direction towards Bydgoszcz, Torun or Gdansk. Waited 20 min with Gdansk sign at the common exit of petrol station and McDonalds.”

“Nice place towards WARSAW. It was early evening around 6 pm, when I was standing here with a WARSAW sign, then got a ride (4 czech cyclist guys :D) directly to WARSAW! :) Good luck there!”

“Jeśli chcesz kontynuować jazdę do Mińska Mazowieckiego, musisz przejść się z ostatniego przystanku przed zjazdem na A2 tutaj. To jest przystanek zaraz za rondem ;)
If you want to continue your travel to Minsk Mazowiecki, you should walk to this bus station from last bus stop before motorway enter :)”
―Jezynn, 19 Sep 2015

“Good place if you want to go to Katowice. I was lucky 'cause I waited just 15minutes on Sunday in the morning. I was in another place and I waited 2 hours. It's almost impossible to find someone on Sunday in Poland.
I recommand this place BUT during the week ! (no many cars on sunday)”

“"Chata Walichnowska" restaurant with a pretty big parking - local driver recommended it as a popular place to stop for a lot of people driving in various directions, also longer routes (especially trucks).”

“Hitchhiking here on Sunday around 10 AM, nobody picked me up in 20 mins, it was too hot so I took a bus to Premysl (2 zlotý only), but now I'm thinking that if I had a sign Premysl, I would have made it. ”

“well we just asked drivers on our way walking by.
if your driver going north, he could take you out of town, if your driver goes direction Kraków, he can take you to the junction and you just can continue north of the junction, when heading to Radom, Warszawa.”

“Good place to find someone to Gniezno/Poznań. Some space for cars. Take bus to Błonie - f.e. 69, but a lot of buses going to Błonie, and then you have to walk 500 meters ”

“Much and fast traffic. I was waiting there about 1 hour on wednesday at 7 in the morning because the stopping-opportunities for cars are not as well. Place is located between to gas-stations. You can travel to A4 both directions Dresden & Wroclaw”

“easter monday 8PM, was hitch hiking to Bremen. 10min after I arrived a car with licence plate from Bremen took me all the way, so had big luck, but i guess this place is also good to ask drivers in general to get west.”

“Not really sure if it is allowed to HH there, but getting on the side of the motorway is easy and cars can stop on the few meters quick resting spot. Not the best spot though, as mostly trucks with Gdansk registration drive by in quite low frequencies. Waited around 45 min to an hour go get to south/Ostroda. Easy reachable by tram 8, just walk by and pass Lotos gas station (maybe an alternative, but I did not see many cars stopping there)”

“This place has proven to be bad choice. Traffic is very big, but cars are speeding +- 100 km/h and nobody wants to stop. It's much better to walk one kilometer further to the Shell gas station.”

“The last petrol station on the highway to Lublin. If your driver is going to use the ring road, this is a good place to change cars in order to get to the city center more quickly. A lot of people park in McDonalds area”

“Towards BIELSKO BIELA or KATOWICE! But also a PERFECT place for sleeping for the night, because there is a cheap hotel (e.g. if you are 2 hitchhikers, 15 EUR / person for 1 night in an excellent room), and also nonstop restaurant and petrol station. Great place! :]”

“Right before the start of the highway to Warsaw. Lay-by with good visibility and plenty of space to stop. Cars may go fast.”

Tomaszów Lubelski
“It's the last Poland supermarket before Ukraine. Many ukrainians going after shopping to home. Drivers on ukrainian car numbers gonna ask you before you will ask them :)

“just after a roundabout there is a bus station- average spot for Radom direction”

“hitch hiking to Radom Warszawa.
many local traffic, but they're slow because of the roundabout. - we just showed the WWA - sign just when we saw a car from Warszawa coming arround the roundabout.
spot is ok, there's no space for trucks to stop. but a car stopped after30min and took us to Warszawa”

“A gas station in the direction of A2 motorway and Wrocław, but not the best choice. Few cars stop here, usually you will find the average of 2 trucks. Cars on the road are speeding 100+ km/h and don't want to lose the speed just for you. You can get here by bus to "Sanocka n/ż" stop and then walk +-1½ km.
Better choice to hitchhike is probably Rondo Rataje earlier on the same road.”

“I waited 30 minutes and no one get me from this spot. I went to truck drivers (there are maybe 5 places for them) and I found one who was going directly to Katowice :)”
―AdiBochyn, 03 Nov 2015

Wisła
“Perfect spot for hitchhiking to Istebna. There is a lot of space for cars to safely stop. And it's right behind a roundabout.”

“Awesome spot if you wanna reach the highway south. There are traffic lights and plenty of room for cars to pull over. I got a ride after ONE freaking minute, direct to Berlin.”

“Bus stop in the direction of Września, Konin.
A lot of local traffic goes here.
You can also try going by tram to the end of tracks and a bit further there is a gas station.
Poor choice in the direction of Bydgoszcz, Toruń, in such case it's better to hitchhike on Gnieźnieńska Street, +- 2 km northeast.”

“Large pulling over area (only towards Torun, not the other direction), and a truck stopped after 10 minutes. On working days, there are more trucks than cars on this road, so make sure they can see you and have the time to stop.”

“BP gas station with a parking lot for trucks. Lots of opportunities - Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus... ”
―Uncle sam01, 25 Mar 2016
“found a direct ride to Warsaw in about ten minutes”

“It's very good place, if you travel alone cause there are many many trucks! We were waitning more than hour, but there were two of us. You can go from here to Praha and Hradec Kralove. :) ”
―Czlowieczki, 23 Oct 2015

Zabłudów
“No bay nor shoulder in nearby where car could comfortably stop but the traffic is not very big. And if you get bored waiting, you can visit both Orthodox and Catholic churches :)”

“Somewhere around here there's a place where the metal barrier separating the pavement from the road disappears and it's possible for the cars to stop in a way that they don't have to pull down entirely on the lane. Far from perfect, but it still took us around 5 minutes to get a car going to Poznań.”

“Perfect spot to HH to Krakow. Were travelling in a couple boy-girl with a sign KRK. Stand next to the barrier as there is a little pocket for drivers to stop safely. There is not too many cars, yet all of them go to your direction, so chances are very high. Due to the turn, cars have to go slowly, so they can easily spot you and have enough time to decide. Got a ride in 5 min.”
―Martinio, 02 Jul 2016

Bielsk Podlaski
“There is a bus stop without a bay but despite that it is better to hitchike here than in other place on this road.
You can get from here to small but hospitable town of Kleszczele as well as to the Polish-Belarusian border crossing. ”

“From here you can get to Siematycze, where goes a main road between Białystok and Lublin. But if you leave on a crossing a few kilometers earlier, you will be just 4 km away from Holy Mountain of Grabarka, where you can walk or hitchhike as well. ”

“Bus stop. Best place to hitchhike towards Supraśl and Krynki. You can get here by bus 3 or 9 (august 2016).”
―Spokojna Woda, 08 Aug 2016

“Despite Google Maps suggests this route when querying for route to Lublin, only local traffic goes here and as of 2016 the road is in very bad condition.
About 3 km in north-east direction there is nice road where you can hitch a ride in the south direction. ”

“Good place to hitchhike in direction Poznan/Leszno. There is bus stop of 908 line.”
“We waited for 5 minutes and got ride directly to Poznan.”

“Not the best place but I made a sign to Brzeźno and eventually got a life to the Ukrainian border. Originally I had a sign for UA (Ukraine) but I think that detracted many potential drivers”

Sieradz
“There is lot of space to stop the car and lot of people do it ;) Direction: Kalisz”
―Mufoks, 10 Jul 2016

“Here's a good enough place to catch a lift to a highway A1: as direction to Czech Republic, as to the north (Gliwice, Katowice) - connection to the highway A4. I (alone, a girl) needed to go to Krakow and I found a passenger car there to Krakow exactly after 1 minute. There's enough place for passenger car only, or not too big truck only. But you are good visible for cars coming there.”

Frombork
“Unfortunately, there's no space for a car to stop on the road for many kilometres. So, just stay at the end of the town where cars still go slow. There's a couple of driveways by the road where cars can possible pull over. I caught my ride pretty fast.”

“There's enough space for a car to pull over. As of summer 2016, there was some road construction underway there (a dotted line on the map), which is why cars went quite slow. The situation will surely change soon, but still it's a quite a good spot.”

Braniewo
“The way to Frombork - a beautiful town by the sea with a magnificent cathedral on a hill encircled by walls and towers.
There's a bus stop where a car can easily pull over. Otherwise, the road is too narrow with no space for a car to stop! So, be careful.”
