“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)”

“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.”

“I got here by bus 678 and by walking, its a good spot to get out of Ostrava, although not many cars pass through here. One car got me to Vražné, another gas station, which was similar to this.”
