komfortowa podróż

The journey from Prague to the Baltic Sea can be calm and predictable, even when traveling with children and a dog. The most comfortable option goes through Lubawka and then along the expressway S3, which offers clear signage, frequent rest stops, and good gastronomic and sanitary infrastructure. Below we present a comprehensive guide: route details, recommended stops, meal suggestions, and attractions worth a short visit.

Route Overview (recommended variant)

Prague → Hradec Králové → Trutnov → Lubawka (border) → Kamienna Góra → Bolków (entry to S3) → Jawor → Legnica → Zielona Góra → Gorzów Wielkopolski → Szczecin → DW102 → Pobierowo (Linea Mare).

Why this route? After crossing the border at Lubawka, you quickly get on the S3, which leads north through Lower Silesia and Lubusz Land to West Pomerania. This route has a calm driving rhythm, comfortable exits, and numerous traveler service points.

Stops and amenities along the way

Fuel stations and short breaks

We recommend using the prepared map of stations along the route — these are practical places for hygienic breaks, coffee, and a short walk with the dog; many points have mini playgrounds.

Electric car charging

A dense network of fast chargers along the S3 and its junctions allows planning stops without time pressure.

Tip: it's worth scheduling 2–3 short stops every 2–2.5 hours. Children benefit from some movement, and the pet from a walk and water.

Where to eat on the way

Terminal – Gorzów Wielkopolski

A recommended location along S3, appreciated for its classic, homemade menu and efficient service. It is a convenient meal point before entering the last stretch to West Pomerania. See location
