''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.''

Take bus 112, 166, 186 or 212 to the stop called ''"[[User:Augustris|Augustris]] this place doesnMiałki Szlak'' on ''Elbląska''t make sense road, which is an excellent hitching spot. The bus stop after that (2019''Węzeł Elbląska'') seems like a more obvious choice at first, as S7 highway it's located directly before the motorway turnoff, however there is built. Ok place a traffic light right before ''Miałki Szlak'' so people can check you out while waiting for the light to stop turn green - very helpful as cars is the bus stop “Wezel Elblaska”. You can go there from the centre (“Dworzec Glowny” or “Brama Wyzynna”) by buses number 112 or 186fairly fast on this busy road. The bus ''Miałki Szlak'' might be an "on demand" stop is “on demand” so you need to press the “stop” "stop" button inside the bus. It takes 10 minutes by bus and about 40 minutes on foot from Brama Wyzynna. Took me 1 hour to move forward 20 km towards Nowy Dwór Gdański during holidays."''

''' - Anonymous{{IsIn|Pomeranian By national road 6 (VoivodeshipE28)}}, from bus stop in Rumia Janowo'''This spot is closer to Gdańsk than bus stop in Wejherowo mentioned above. Take a ride with an SKM train and leave at Rumia Janowo. The bus stop is right next to the platform, at the left side. There are also traffic lights right before the bus stop - making a good hitchhiking sign is recommended, as the drivers have some time to spot it while waiting.

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.
