Poland is sometimes being regarded as a bad country for hitchhiking, but it can also be a great pleasure to hitchhike there.

When entering Poland at the border from Lithuania (and possibly from other countries too) it is a good idea to get a long long ride if it's getting dark. Often there are miles and miles of trucks and it's better to try to get a ride straight to where you're heading then to get stuck somewhere in the middle of the night.

During hitchhiking it might be possible that drivers use CB radios to ask other drivers to take you.

Roads are often in a bad condition, though on some parts of the road from Cracow to Berlin it's possible to drive 200 km/h.

Language

Most Polish seem not to speak any other language than Polish, possibly with some knowledge of German words. Russian, or other Slavic languages might be understood a little bit, and is not a problem if your Russian accent is bad anyway.
