Budzisko-Kalvarija border checkpoint

The Budzisko-Kalvarija border checkpoint is a border crossing between Poland and Lithuania. Now that both countries are in Schengen, cars no longer regularly come to a stop here. However, the parking lot at the border is still popular with truck drivers, and within walking distance on both sides of the border there are petrol stations where one can ask drivers for onward rides.

500m behind the old Lithuanian checkpoint quite some truck drivers seem to stop to buy some vignette for the highway (or sth like this) so it's also easy to ask them for a ride; should be easy to get rides to everywhere in Baltics or even further into Russia. On the Lithuanian side, the E7 "Via Baltica" highway begins, passing by Kaunas in Lithuania, Riga in Latvia, and ultimately Tallinn in Estonia. On the Polish side, the nearest large city is Bialystok.
