Travel / Camping in Poland - are there any laws? [47]

Hi all, i am new to this forum and appologise if this question has been posted before! I am thinking about coming to Poland for 8 days in September 2008 but since i have read so much about the wonderful scenery i though about taking a tent instead of booking in to a hotel or hostel and was hoping someone could advise on the law regarding wild camping, i hope to arrive in Krakow and make my way to Slupsk in the north.

Thanks

Steve

Hi miranda, As i am a Scot i dont think the weather would be much of a problem and it would feel just like being back home except for the wonderful scenery and nicer looking ladies. I think vodka would help eliminate the weather factor lol

Hi wildrover, I may take you up on that offer and promise to have a bucket of water nearby in case of accidental roving sparks!!

hi polishgirltx, I fully intend to enjoy every part of my journey and see as much of poland as i can whether it be good or bad - it all adds to the experience, life would be boring if it all went smoothly and i am not planning on getting deported but then again i have never been deported from another country so i might give it a try ( only Joking lol)

Thanks

Thanks to everone who posted a comment and suggested places to visit i will certainly try and visit as many places as i can and i think miranda and BubbaWoo were refering to my original question regarding camping rather than the place itself.

I agree it is the people who make the place lovely and enjoyable not the place itself - i have decided to reserve judgement untill i have been rather than dictate my visits on negative comments.

Most rangers knock off at 5, after that you should be sweet for a homely smallish fire.

What is likely to happen if i do happen to get nabbed by a ranger - arrested, deported or just shot?

How much (Approx) would it cost to get to Gdansk from Krakow on the train and then from Gdansk to Hel or could i get a train straight to Hel ( i could say i`ve been to hell and back without lying - LOL) and then work my way back to Krakow and camp on the way back.

Stay over at least one night in Sopot, they have a campsite there too.

I have just looked at flights again and i can fly from London to Gdansk for £37.77 so i may do it that way and spend a day and night in both Sopot/Hel area and Slupsk then head across to Poznan, Warsaw, Wroclaw then Krakow and fly home from Krakow - is this a bit ambitious for my first visit or do you think its do-able in 8 days, I will be walking most of the way?

Are you in London ?
If not have a look at Centralwings who fly out of E'burgh or Wizz Air and Ryanair who fly out of Pestwick. They should have prices to match.

No i am in Dundee and found the following prices.

Centralwings (EDI to Gdansk) £77.99 - No return flights on 17th
Wizzair (PWK to Gdansk) £81.29 - No return flights on 17th
Ryanair (EDI to Gdansk) £81.02 - £54.19 return 17th

skyscanner.net (London to Gdansk) - flying with Ryanair £37.77

Will keep searching for flights though - Bussing between places might be the best idea when i am in Poland - thanks
