Hitching Out

West towards Poznań, Berlin

• By motorway (autostrada) A2 (E30), from slip road

From city centre e.g. from Nowowiejska-Północna street near Plac Wolności (Square of Freedom) take tram 46 direction Ozorków and get off in Rosanów. The journey takes about 55 minutes (about 20km). The tram stop is located just behind roundabout where motorway slip road starts. There's an emergency lane, so even trucks have enough space to pull over.

South towards Piotrków Trybunalski, Częstochowa, Katowice, Bielsko Biała, Kraków, Slovakia

From train station Łódź Fabryczna take bus 70 direction Centrum Handlowe PTAK and get off in Szpital C.Z.M.P. (Hospital). It takes about 40 minutes to get there. You can hitch behind the crossroad on the merge lane.

North towards Warszawa, Gdańsk
