What hitchhikers said along this route

“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)”

“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.”

“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)”
