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)”

“Bezpośrednio z Krakowa do Wrocławia Złapany koło godziny 12 Lepiej stanąć koło cmentarza przy pasie do skrętu w prawo na stację, wtedy łatwiej kierowc y będą widzieć i będą moi zjechać na symtację 12, o'click direct from Cracow to Wrocław. Better to stay close to cementary so that drivers will be able to See You and turn right to Pick You up”

After a petrol station, an exit 100-150 m extra lane, which gives loads of space to stop. Good visibility. Quite busy traffic. But I waited 2,5 h for a ride. I started at 15:00. At 15:30 a German girl stopped and s”

“The one and only place to go from Wroclaw westbound. Most of the time I get a lift to Legnica from here... You get to this place by free bus from Wroclaw Central Bus Station (Dworzec Centralny PKS) to Centrum Bielany (big shopping mall)”

“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.”

“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.”

“The place to be for a long lift !!”
― Fverhart, Thu 2012-10-25 · Orlen
“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...”
