Traveling to Auschwitz this weekend in motorhome need advise on toll roads

Hi all we are a family traveling to Auschwitz this weekend with 2 kids and a dog we are in a 5 tonne motorhome do i need to hire viatoll box or can i py cash / card on the toll roads, we are traveling from calais through dresden so i guess will enter PL on the A4, if viatoll is a must where can i get one

Use cash (everyone else does): get smaller denomination notes for convenience and get some coins. You can do this easily once you cross the border.

I suggest you allow a respectful enough amount of time should you intend to plan a visit to the Auschwitz Site. In deference to the site itself, I wouldn't treat it as simply another tourist "excursion" with the family, unless of course you merely intend to pass through without stopping over on the way to somewhere else and are inquiring about tolls, passport and the like:-)

You`re bringing a dog to Auschwitz?

I didn't know they had a campground there for motorhomes either.

It sounds like they turned that place into a tourist trap.

What a disgrace!

It's obligatory to use ViaToll if your motorhome is more than 3.5t.

When you drive from Dresden, the last service area on the A4 is called "An Der Oder" - it's a few hundred metres before the border. Pull in there, and drive to the far end of the car park. It's quite hard to explain, but it's here - marked as "Toll Road Rest Stop" on Google Maps. When you first enter the service area, you won't see the ViaToll point at all - it's very badly signposted. Be careful - it's easy to miss the ViaToll point, so I'd suggest parking up next to the toilets and walking from there.

You need to get the ViaToll box there, as there are no physical toll booths between Gorlitz and Wrocław. After Wrocław, you use the viatoll lanes (far right) on entry and exit to the first tolled section between Wrocław and Gliwice.

After that, I'm not sure if you'll use the A4 between Mysłowice and Kraków, but if you do, it's cash/card only, not ViaToll.

There are plenty of sections of non-motorway roads that are also charged by ViaToll - you'll notice them by the presence of a small orange sign showing the ViaToll tag. Make sure your account is well topped up - there are plenty of checks by the Road Inspectorate for ViaToll violations.

Gandl, might one inquire as to which country you all will be traveling from? Austria, perhaps? Hungary then.
Merely curious:-)

they already said, Calais.
So possibly the UK.

Aha, didn't catch that first time round. Thanks!
:-)
