Hello Simo.
As from the latest map is obvious, that you will bump in to Russian border - Kaliningrad is on your route between Lithuania and Poland. Fix that if you do not intend to visit Russia. Besides there is a lot of military movement lately going on there.
South of Poland is nice, pretty roads along the Kaliningrad border. Near Ketrzyn there was a Hitler's command base in WWII, it's called "Wolfs Lair".
STUTTHOF concentration camp is on your way to Krynica Morska peninsula, but Krynica Morska itself is not an object to put on your list.
Up above Gdansk there is a long dune seaside (they say it biggest in Europe), place Leba (Lebsko lake).
I live in Vilnius, Lithuania, if there will be a demand of accomodation contact me at gmail : aidasass@gmail.com
Best wishes

Hi aidas
I was thinking of calling in to Kaliningrad but I hear now you can't by a visa at the border like Russia you have to apply well in advance....I have hitlers Wof lair marked as you can see " I hope" ...I then head West to Malbork castle..then south west to Zagan " home of the great escape and the prison camp for allied airmen...then if I have time I might head towards Dresden and look at Konigstein fortress....from there I head to Czech Republic and follow the border to Slovakia before heading back over to Auschwitz, then down to Kraków to see Schindlers factory...I thank you for your offer for accomodation aidas I would really be greatful just to say hello and get some pointers on the local area...
..cheers mate

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
