Cześć fellow Strommer's.

I'm a dane planning my first trip to Poland this year, I have plenty of questions and would be grateful for any advice you might have.

Weather?
How early is the weather fair enough to not make it a horrible experience? Keep in mind that i plan to spend some time in a tent Smile

Wild camping?
Weather permitting i would like to camp wild some nights. Is it feasible? How about legality and safety? Any tips and tricks?

Polish roads, drivers and rules. Anything special to be aware of?

Any other advice would also be appreciated.

And finally of course: Stuff to see and Roads to ride?

Thanks.

No nie wiem, słyszałem ostatnio, że Jenifer Lopez Polska kojarz się z niedźwiedziami i zimnem.

Hello Chaneera,
Nice to see You here at vstromclub.
First of all I would strongly recommend You to realize Your plans and do some touring in our country.
It will be easier to answer Your questions if we know where are You from - a "good" riding and camping weather for scandinavian guy could be a liitle bit different than a "good" riding and camping weather for someone from souhern Europe or Middle East:)
What is Your temperature limit for comfort camping? 5C or 20C?
Same with traffic and drivers - sth quite normal for Sicilian rider could be seen as an extremaly dangerous habits for Swedish one... Smile

So let us know You better a little bit and You will get all the answers You need:)

Hi,

Hello Chaneera
Like MaG said before it would be easier for us if You tell us sth about yourself.

Poland is nice but a little weird country so you can expect everything Smile

For example temperature in April can be -5 or +20... it can be hot and sunny or cold and snowy - very hard to predict.

Nice tracks? I`m from south-eastern Poland so I will recommend You a trip around Bieszczady Mountains:

Jestem duńczykiem planującym w tym roku swoją pierwszą wycieczkę po Polsce. Mam więc kilka pytań i byłbym wdzięczny za jakiekolwiek porady.

Weather?
How early is the weather fair enough to not make it a horrible experience? Keep in mind that i plan to spend some time in a tent Smile
Jak wcześnie można się wybrać na taką wycieczkę aby pogoda nie zmieniła tego w przerażające doświadczenie. Miejcie na uwadze fakt, że planuję spędzić kilka nocy pod namiotem.

Wild camping?
Weather permitting i would like to camp wild some nights. Is it feasible? How about legality and safety? Any tips and tricks?
Nocowanie na dziko? Czy to możliwe? Kwestie prawne oraz bezpieczeństwo? Jakieś porady?

Polish roads, drivers and rules. Anything special to be aware of?
Polskie drogi, kierowcy, zasady. Coś czego można szczególnie sie obawiać?

Any other advice would also be appreciated.
Wszelkie inne porady mile widziane.

And finally of course: Stuff to see and Roads to ride?
No i na końcu oczywiście: Rzeczy do zobaczenia i trasy do przejechania?

Hello

If I know correctly, wild camping is not allowed in Poland. You have to look for campings or ask some people with house if they agree to put up a tent on their property.
Most of the year is not allowed to go to the forest because of the risk to set a fire by accident.

Polish roads are not so bad. Rules are also similar to the rest of western Europe. Drivers - normally are ok, but You can find some idiots.

Weather - like my collegues said, it depends on a lot of variables.
You need to write when You want to visit our beautiful country Smile

Even maybe You will find someone here who will be able to put up lodge Smile

fatboy tłumacz sobie translatorem wtenczas wątek nabiera kolorytu, też mój angielski jest na poziomie nabytym z Kojaka end Colombo.

A mi się wydaje że sobie ktoś jaja robi, ewentualnie chce pokazać jaki to jego angielski jest lepszy od innych.
I tu moje pytanie, skąd ten "duńczyk" ma na swojej klawiaturze polskie znaki?
Chodzi mi o: "Cześć fellow..."

Grzesiek, ciekawe spostrzeżenie Smile

A swoją drogą, to nie ma sensu udzielać rad, wskazówek i odpowiedzi na tak ogólnikowe pytania. MaG ma rację - niech koleś poda jakieś szczegóły i wówczas można się produkować...

Może z translatora??
Taka funkcja ctrl+C, ctrl+V

A człowiek chciał być miły i przywitać się w naszym języku.

Autor wątku nie odpisuje bo już pojechał do Polski.
Co do polskich znaków diakratycznych - to czasami piszę po czesku i też uzywam ptaszków i daszków - kopiuję z ich mejli lub translatora.

Hi again, sorry for the absence Sad

I have had a lot of unexpended sh*t come up here, both work and personal.

I think my plans have changed so I will go in june or juli.
I am going to Norway to ride in the start of june and, combined with other plans, it just makes more sense going southward after that. It is to bad cause i'm really getting road-fever after not being able to ride during the winter but it is just more sensible to wait with the long trips until summer.

So I don't think weather is going to be a big problem. At that time of year temperature is not really that much of an issue, just rain, and if i can handle riding in eastern Norway during their "summer" eastern Europe is probably not a problem Smile

Regarding wild camping i know it's illegal but I also get the understanding that many people do it? That's the way it is in Germany; illegal but pretty much accepted if you behave. I'm not talking about a big permanent camp with loud music and a huge bonfire, just discretely pitching a tent for the night, leaving early and leaving the campsite as i found it. If it's really not acceptable i will probably just couchsurf and camp at camping sites.
And i will absolutely appreciate peoples offers of accomodation.

And my specific plans are really loose. I like to be pretty flexible.
I like forests and mountains (coming from flat farmed Denmark) and i like great motorcycle roads, twisty and preferably with a view.
As for sights i'm thinking the following (if you look closely you can see there is a war-motif Very Happy

):
* I would really like to see the battlefield of the Battle of Wizna.
* The Wolf's Lair is not far from Wizna so that would likely be on the list too.
* The Masurian lakes are also nearby and the site of several battles in the 1st world war.
* Sites of the beginning of the second world war: Westerplatte, Wieluń, the Gliwice radio tower and Jablunkov pass (Czech Republic)
* Maybe the site of the Battle of Tannenberg, allthough i understand there is nothing there today and the site of the memorial is a highway junction.
* Poznan citadel
* Dukla pass (site of battle in 1944 during the Slovak national uprising) which is not far from the Bieszczady Mountains suggested by Qrac.

Outside of Poland:
* I'm going to tour the battlefield of the Battle on the Oder which is east of Berlin so i'm definetely going to be in the northeastern part of Poland.
* I'm going to visit the battlefield of Austerlitz in the Czech Republic.
* If i go further south i'm going to see where the Plattensee offensive took place in Hungary
* And If my V-strom is unstoppable i'll continue to Romania to ride the Transfagarasan and Transalpina.
