The place is great. We tried to get out towards Bratislava and unfortunately it was difficult. Many drivers stopped, but unfortunately, most were heading towards northern Poland.

It was a monday midday. A lot of local traffic. A slovenian guy picked me up direction katowice. He was heading cz. Good spot because there is a lot of traffic but I had no luck.

Perfect spot for going east little steps, mostly local traffic but Lkws as well. Would recommend with a sign.

Traffic is low, there is a nice place to sit and rest and also free bathroom. Find myself stranded there for like an hour and I was waiting close to the exit from the place and there were no shade, so be careful especially during summer.

On a map seemed like a nice connection, but turned out, not that many cars passed by. Also took a long time.

Amazing spot both towards LT or south in Poland, it's a huge truckers base and I will guarantee you will find someone willing to take you the either direction, it takes about 10 minutes for a long distance ride, definitely come here and ignore the Szypliszki hate, when you are fine with talking with the people

After roundabout trying to catch cars coming from Suwalki headed to north, great to get Polish going home but most Lithuanian cars are really full, at first declined local rides, but in all honesty, you should take the first car that takes you further up north, for a ride of 20kms or so you will get a car within 20 minutes, for a ride to Lithuania or further you will have to wait way longer

First, ask around the Shell and Mcdonalds for a ride towards LT, if it doesnt work out and you find noone, come here to find a local going north Suwalki and try there again, great for skipping the city, wait times of 10-20 minutes expected
―estohiker, May 2026
53.97411, 22.78976
Towards Suwalki, just aim for locals, a bit uncomfortable and slightly illegal but you'll get a car fast, wait times of 10-30 minutes expected
―estohiker, May 2026
53.86498, 21.65198
Towards Orzysz, aim for the cars turning from Szymonka and you'll get yourself a ride to Orzysz, low traffic from the turns but better than gambling with the cars being on the main road, wait times of 20-30 minutes expected

Towards Orzysz. Woznice keeps on disappointing, even though it has okay amount of traffic and wide enough shoulder here to stop, noone even thinks to do so, wiser to just walk to the Szymonka junction, wait times of 80+ minutes guaranteed

Again, really fast ride towards further east, Mikolajki is the only town around here and locals from villages come here to shop etc, wait times of 5 minutes

I also find this petrol station amazing, been twice, found both times a car to Poland, with last time the first car being asked going all the way to south of Warszawa. Great petrol station definitely, wait times of 5-25 minutes expected to find a ride the least to Polish border

We had a hard time finding a ride toward Poland on a Sunday. Two people (male and female) very few car. We asked directly to people in the petrol station, lot of them said no. Eventually one couple changed opinion and took us to the next city. Maybe we had bad luck because of Sunday, controls at the border....

I wanted to go to Heidelberg. It was already dark and it was Saturday... A group of several polish truck drivers were sleeping there until Monday, going back to Poland. Asked around for about 1.5 hours, almost no traffic, so I decided to settle for a ride to Karlsruhe and catching a train to Heidelberg. The spot should be good, but my timing and luck were bad.

Decent spot, I don't think you can do much better in the Poland direction.

I needed to get out of Liberec in the direction of Jablonec / Poland. I asked around here, and one guy brought me to a much better spot near Jablonec.

While heading to Ireland, a family heading home from Poland took me with them for a night in their van and even offered me a night in their guest room.

Great spot for reaching Poland. I only got a ride to the border but to Krakow should be very possible.

The service station was reasonably busy at 10am on a Thursday. I stood at the exit. Was trying to go to Warsaw from Kosice. Not sure if the highway route is better than taking the regional roads through Lublin but I decided to see. Quite quickly found a ride to Ruzomberok and onto the E77 into Poland.

It rained quite heavily, so I found shelter nearby Vynoteka. A lot of people going to Lithuania buy cheap alcohol in Poland's border, and I believe this is one of the last alcohol stores in the north.

A lot of cars (most of them to Bauska and riga) and trucks (frequently to Tallin and poland). I caught a nice man who went to Ukraine, and left me in warsaw. One of the best spot Nearby riga

I was waiting at this place with the sign: Suwalki, there is a good place for stopping because there is a stop for trucks with carwash, restaurant, gas station. It was in the morning Sunday and there was not so much cars but after 20 min, one driver saw me and my sign and he stopped, I said that I go to Poland, he said that he go to Warsaw and I said that I need only to the ELK city and we went well.

I hitchhiked there in the morning, there wasnt a lot of traffic, I guess its better to get onto the bigger gas station further on the highway, but it is easy to get there from Frankfurt (you have to jump over the fence tho) and there are some cars going to Berlin/Poland
