Our plans for Poland and the Czech Republic in autumn 2020

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
