“Not the best place, since there are not too many cars - and these are going in different directions. We got dropped off there and ended up waiting about 20 min before a man picked us up and drove us to a bigger gazstation a few kilometres further down the road.”

“Lots of traffic here especially heading towards Poland. There was a lot of cars which were very full but found a ride eventually. Depending on what final destination is, maybe worth writing 'Polska' and then taking polish trains to Krakow/Katowice/Częstochowa.”
