About This Route

The 'Land of a Thousand Lakes' in Northeast Poland. This route is a dream for any vintage van owner—beautiful, forest-lined roads that are mostly flat as they snake between massive lakes like Śniardwy and Mamry. You'll drive through stork-filled villages, visit the historic Gizycko, and find endless secluded spots for wild camping by the water. Absolute relaxation with no hills to stress the engine.
