Off-road route in POLAND, SUWAŁKI REGION

Off-road route in Poland (Suwalki Region, 680 km)

The route can be tackled by factory-made four-wheel-drive cars, although the level of difficulty will certainly depend on current weather conditions. We aimed to allow interaction with nature and to see several well-known and forgotten tourist attractions.

We planned to camp using our own equipment and drive leisurely, covering approximately six hours per day over seven days. Therefore, the route is divided into stages, starting and ending near lakes at selected overnight locations. Most of these spots have camping facilities, while two are entirely ‘wild.’ A few require payment.

For the entire trip (including the journey there and back), it’s best to reserve nine days. Note: the route runs along both sides of the Polish-Lithuanian border. Remember to bring personal identification or passports (including those for children).

The off-road guide is available online. You will receive an email with a link to download the package of files immediately after purchase.

The package includes a detailed description of the route (PDF file) and KML files (one for each stage) for GPS navigation in the recommended MAPS.ME application. It also includes GPX files (one for each stage) for those using GARMIN devices.

What will you find in the PDF file?

In the general information, I present the requirements for travelers in Poland. You will learn what equipment is necessary and what documents you need for the car and crew members. I also describe the rules for using roads and where and how to pay for them. I also provide emergency phone numbers.

In the detailed descriptions of each stage, I inform you about their length, road character and difficulties, restrictions that apply or may occur, and dangers. I present attractions to visit, suggest where to shop, eat, and refuel your car.

How to use GPS navigation files?

You can use GPX files on GARMIN devices. However, I recommend using KML files and the free and very simple MAPS.ME application. It works works online and offline on smartphones, tablets, etc. with Android and iOS systems.

Start by installing this application on your device. Then simply send the KML files by email to the mailbox on the device with MAPS.ME and open them. Android immediately installs the route and it is visible on the screen. The system for Apple mobile devices (iOS) requires opening the file (an incomprehensible text will appear) and clicking on the “share” icon in the upper right corner. On the displayed list, select the Maps.Me program.

The MAPS.ME application is compatible with CarPlay and Android Auto. This means that if you connect your phone to a car radio with a display that supports these systems, your route will also be visible on the car screen.

Please do not distribute our Off-Rroad Guide illegally!

If you are going on the route with other crews, encourage each one to purchase our Off-Road Guide. Only then will we have the money to update and create new guides. And if you encounter a place on the route that requires updating, please send us a description of the problem.
