We will soon be travelling to Poland and the Czech Republic with the motorhome. It will be really fun to finally travel outside the country's borders again and experience new places in two of our favourite countries. It will be even more fun if you want to follow the journey! Here is a rough plan for the route.

Travelling in Europe in times of coronavirus
It is still corona times and one should of course travel with some caution. We have long felt that we preferred to stay in Sweden, but now it feels a little calmer and we look forward to making a trip with the motorhome. Poland and the Czech Republic belong to the countries from which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has lifted the advice.and also happens to be one of our favourite European countries.
We like travelling with the motorhome because we have our own home with us. It also feels good not to travel too far away, because you can't know for sure how the situation will change. We will, of course, bring masks (required in certain situations in Poland and the Czech Republic) and hand sanitiser, and we will try to keep a social distance as usual. It's great to be travelling again!
Ferry Nynäshamn - Gdansk
We will be travelling with Polferries from Nynäshamn to Gdansk. This has always been a convenient way to travel if you live in this part of Sweden. The previous ferries were rather boring, but since 2018 there is a new ferry. Peter was on press tour on board the Nova Star when it would be put into operation. However, we have never travelled on it, so it will be interesting!
Travel route
Here you can see the approximate itinerary we are planning. In cooperation with the Czech Tourist Board we will discover the north-eastern part of the Czech Republic. On the way there and back we will check out some places in Poland where we have not been before.
Below we list a approximate We have an idea of which places we plan to visit, but the plan will certainly be modified both before and during the trip. The photos of the destinations have been borrowed from Pixabay, as we have not been there yet.
Torun, Poland
We plan to check out the city Torun, which is known for, among other things, the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born here. The town is also known for its gingerbread recipes dating back to the 14th century.
Poznan, Poland
Poznan Sometimes described as the cradle of Poland, it is a city with a very long history. This colourful city has a wide range of interesting buildings and sites.
Wroclaw, Poland
Wroclaw is usually described as a very beautiful city and you sometimes see pictures of the colourful Rynek marketplace. An odd detail is that more than 300 statues of dwarves are scattered throughout the city.
Beskids, Czech Republic
The Beskids is a name for a number of mountainous regions in the Carpathians. It includes several national parks and is said to be extremely green and beautiful.
Dolní Vítkovice, Czech Republic
I Dolní Vítkovice there is a large science and technology centre that we will probably visit. Exciting!
Třemešná and Osoblaha, Czech Republic
This area includes a historic railway, which has become a tourist attraction as well as a means of transport. Maybe we'll get a chance to go for a ride.
Jeseníky Mountains, Czech Republic
Jeseníky Mountains is another mountain range in the north-west of the Czech Republic. The area is supposed to offer really beautiful scenery, and we hope to do some hiking here.
Castle ruins OgrodZienec, Poland
Did we mention that we like castle ruins? This one looks really cool in the photo, so we want to explore it further.
Łódź, Poland
Łódź is known for its large commercial centre 'Manufaktura', which is also a centre of culture and entertainment. The city is also home to the lovely Piotrkowska promenade.

We wish you a very pleasant journey. We remember our first transit on the way home from the south, up through Czechoslovakia in the early 2000s. That trip was not at all pleasant. Border control of everybody, with rifle barrels stuck half a metre into the car, selling gnomes in all the car parks along the road, (cover for other "business"). On all the uphill slopes where the traffic was slow, there were rows of prostitutes, wanting to get on board. This should be long gone, or is it still there?
30 August 2020 - 8:10
Helena says:
Wow, what experiences! We have travelled extensively in both Poland and the Czech Republic over the last ten years at least, and there have never been any border controls and certainly no gun barrels! Have also not seen prostitutes in the way you describe. So it has definitely changed 🙂

How nice it seems and with, in my opinion, nice variety both on route and destination.
I may be travelling to Poland at the end of September on a work trip. But a lot is still unclear there. So we will see.

Yes, several interesting places where we have not been before! Interesting if you also go to Poland!

Have a nice trip!
I am also heading to Poland in September, first Sopot to visit a friend there, then down to Wroclaw by train, ending with Hamburg.
Will hopefully be great. At the moment I don't book more than a few weeks in advance.

Lovely itinerary with mostly unknown places for us, will be fun to follow on the blog. I have been to Poznan with my job many years ago. Two of our doctors come from there so they organised a trip for the rest of us. Mostly I remember that it was a nice city and all the food we ate....

Poznan seems to be a very nice city! It's pretty much all new places for us along the route, so it's exciting!

I'm happy to ride shotgun with you. It will be great fun! It's good that you're travelling in the off-season, as there will be fewer people on the roads too. How long will you be travelling?

It will be fun to see. We got really excited about Poland last summer, when we got lots of tips and inspiration. We ourselves are also travelling at about the same time, but to the southwest ???

Hi! some tips regarding your journey. Try to avoid the A1 between Piotrkow (south of Lodz)/Czestochowa and Katowice - major rebuilding in the area!

vineyards around Wroclaw https://winnicedolnoslaskie.pl/winnice-2/
and Paczkow is more towards the south and towards Opole, nice stable!
Wroclaw itself is also a masterpiece of course 😉.

Trzebnica municipality just north of Wroclaw is especially famous for vineyards if you are interested 🙂 Have a nice trip!

Nice trip through Poland. Took a four week trip a few years ago. In the south there are the peace churches that we were impressed with. As well as Poland's own desert on the coast.
