* '''By expressway bypass S6 (E28), from petrol station'''
From the centre of Gdańsk take any local train called [http://www.skm.pkp.pl/dali.php?aa=mapa_trasy SKM] going north and get off at ''Gdańsk Żabianka''. Than take free bus [http://komunikacja.trojmiasto.pl/osowa.php#ch1 807] going to '''''Osowa Shopping Centre''''' which is located next to S6 (E28) Tricity Bypass. From the shopping centre go north along the bypass (follow the path on the grass field), get on the junction bridge and walk to the other side of the bypass. You will see petrol stations on both sides of the S3S6, north from the junction. Go around Castorama shop to get to "your" station. See satellite image of the spot in Hitchwiki maps. ''Went there and actually bus 807 doesn't exist. If you look on the link there are no traces of this bus on the city's public transport website. If you want to go to Osowa, you need to take a special train that goes from Wrzeszcz station. Click on the link above to find the best connection from the point you are leaving. Didn't try it myself but might be a good option to leave the town.'' ''The idea is good just bus 807 doesn't exist for a long time. For today (2018) : take SKM train and get off at Gdańsk Oliwa station. Than go to the tram/bus stop located 5 minutes from station :(https://www.google.pl/maps/place/Pętla+tramwajowa+Oliwa/@54.4099182,18.5670324,16.25z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x46fd753328412381:0x4b1f507901e623a4!8m2!3d54.4098998!4d18.5666002). Take bus 171/169 (timetables : https://ztm.trojmiasto.pl) and get off on Osowa-Obwodnica stop. 200 m. from it, there's junction and both petrol station are visible.''
* '''By national road 1 (E75) or motorway A1, from bus stop close to old town'''
From main railway station in Gdańsk go south along ''Podwale Grodzkie'' and ''Wały Jagielońskie'' streets, cross roundabout and continue walking south along ''Okopowa'' street, cross rail tracks by the bridge and you can hitch on the first bus stop behind it. Here' the [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Podwale+Grodzkie&daddr=54.342344,18.643015&geocode=FTpmPQMdj4EcAQ%3B&hl=en&mra=mi&mrsp=1,0&sz=18&vps=2&jsv=165c&sll=54.342537,18.643257&sspn=0.00146,0.003449&num=10 route]
''Another and in my opinion better option : take tram nr. 2/4/6/7 (destinantion : Łostowice-Świętokrzyska) from city center. Get off on Wilanowska stop (~10 min. journey from old town). Walk 100 m. north from tram stop and cross big street (Armii Krajowej). At the exit of avenue usunused bus stop is located.

* '''By national road 1 (E75)'''
Another option is to use the local train called [http://www.skm.pkp.pl/dali.php?aa=mapa_trasy SKM], or regular train and get to '''''Pszczółki''''' or some other village between Gdańsk and Tczew. When you get off the train just walk out of the village in the direction of the road, it's visible from the station. Since first part of the motorway A1 was built there is less traffic on national road 1.

An excellent place to camp is the Oliwa forest which is along the road to Sopot. It is an enormous forested park, safe for putting up a tent. You can get there taking tram #12 from Gdańsk center.
