Like all the drivers with any experience died out, you mean?
Like there are three times as many drivers, and most of them are innexperienced. Traffic has mushroomed as well. Since you left six years ago, the number of drivers and cars has more than doubled, and very few new roads have been built.
That takes the cake, I actually lived in the area for a long time.
Then you ought to know that the roads are choked with traffic. Augustów is especially a big mess. The highway isn't finished yet, so traffic has to go through the town and use secondary roads. I spend a month every summer in Augustów, and the traffic is MACABRE.
I beg to disagree. Try the Brda for a change.
I have, and it's very good, too. So is the Drawa. I still prefer the Czarna Hańcza/Kanał Augustowski, though. I've done the route eight times. Four times all the way to Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki near Warsaw.
Czerwone Bagno is spectacular. One of the few places in Poland where you can feel truly isolated and lost in time, there is no trace of man to be seen, and some of the best birdwatching in all of Europe.
