Travel / Crossing to Russia: Planning a Motorcycle Trip from Poland to Kalinigrad [26]

During our motorcycle trip to Kaliningrad we are planning to use the S22 road across Poland.
Has anyone got experience in traveling on this road, I was wondering about the condition of the road as we are traveling by motorcycle.

We are planning to film our journey, thanks the wildrover, Malbork looks like a good place for a quick stop.

We may be camping during the journey, after looking at maps it looks like there are plenty of placed near Walcz to setup a tent for the night. Would this be safe or is it better to go to a campsite?

Thanks for all the help, most of this information is new to me including terms such as IDP?

I think I have a slightly better understanding but it sounds like I've a lot of planning.

Regarding our journey through Poland, we are planning to stay near Gorzów Wielkopolski and take the 22 road to Kaliningrad. I've chosen this route as it looks like a single carriageway road through some beautiful parts of Poland. I don't fancy sitting on a motorway for hours!

Thanks Wildrover for the invitation, the original idea was to just get to the Russian border but I'm now thinking of crossing into Russia on the S22, I believe that border is opening for tourists sometime next year. Then spending the night in a hotel before heading back.

Thanks again.

Thanks for all the responses,

I'm thinking of planning the trip for maybe Sept 2011, it's a 4 day trip from Rotterdam to Kaliningrad. The idea is to stop at Gorzów Wielkopolski Poland (or somewhere near) on the first night then head to Kaliningrad from there. Maybe spend the night in Russia before heading back.

There could be about 4 or 5 of us, none of us have ever done this before so I don't have a clue what's required.

Thanks

Travel / Crossing to Russia: Planning a Motorcycle Trip from Poland to Kalinigrad [26]

Hi,

I'm planning a motorcycle trip to Kaliningrad next year, how much paperwork and expense is it to cross into Kaliningrad from Poland and are there places to stay just over the border before heading back?

Also where is the best place to cross on motorcycles?

I'm planning to stay in Russia for just one day.

Thanks,

Martin.
