Poland, Czechia and Slovakia Roadbook 2026

Poland, Czechia and Slovakia: sixty-six roads across three countries

66 driving roads across Poland, Czechia and Slovakia - the Tatras and the Beskids, the Bieszczady, the Sudetes and the Table Mountains, the Jeseníky and the Krkonoše, the Šumava and the Ore Mountains, the Low Tatras and the Slovak Karst - one page each: what the road is like to drive, who holds the gate and on what terms, what you may not take up it, up to four places worth stopping for, and a button that opens the whole route in Google Maps. 1,451 km of road, every line drawn from OpenStreetMap and measured at both ends against the places its page names.

Page 2 of 66 · the key map66 roads

All 66 roads on one key map, each marked with its page. Drawn from OpenStreetMap. No photography.

Stage 01What page 01 does

The book opens on its best road, and prints what stands between you and it.

The The Wielka Pętla Bieszczadzka scores 9.3, which nothing in Poland beats, and it is page 01 because the book is ordered by country and then by score. Its page prints what stands between you and the road: the third cell reads “Paid parking”, and the foot of the page names the body that says so.

Every other page is built the same way: the gate, the season, the measured distance and the source, before any adjective.

Stage 02The anatomy of one page · press it yourself

Seven things on every road's page.

01The drive scoreOut of ten, from corners, scenery and a traffic penalty. The formula is printed so you can disagree with it precisely.

02What stands between you and the roadA ban with dates, a barrier, a landslide closure or a toll, whichever it is, with the body that issues it.

03When the gate opensFirst and last admission, and the months the road is shut for winter.

04The distance, measuredTaken off the road's own GPX track, not copied from a tourist board.

05Up to four stopsEach checked one at a time. An empty slot stays empty rather than being filled with a guess.

06Drive the routeOne press opens the whole road in Google Maps, corner for corner, not just the start point.

07The sourceNamed at the foot of the page, so every number on it can be checked.

Stage 03Before you pay · is it near you

Where these roads are, measured from where you start.

Ostrava has 34 of the 66 roads inside 150 km; Gdańsk has none, and its nearest road is 426 km away. If you drive out of a city with many, this book is dense with Saturdays. If you drive out of one with none, it is a holiday purchase, and you should know that before you pay rather than after.

Every number is a straight line from the city to the nearest point of each road's own track, and the cities with none are printed alongside the cities with many.

Stage 04The index · check my work before you pay

Two of the 66, with their sources printed.

Both ends of what this book does: a road where whose third cell reads “Barrier off it” and a road where nothing stands between you and it. Both carry the source of every figure on them, so a toll or a gate time can be checked before you spend anything. The free sample is the same two files cut to five roads, and it opens and closes on exactly these two.

Stage 05Read this before you buy

What this book does not claim.

Somebody who read an early copy came away believing I had driven them all. I had not, and nothing in that copy had said so plainly enough. Four limits, each one open to read in full.

What €26.99 buys is desk research done properly and shown working: every fact carries its source, and the roads I could not verify say so on their own page.

01The book is in English

The road names print as the signs spell them, in Polish, Czech and Slovak, with every mark on them; the prose is English.

02It is a book of the southern border

All three countries keep their driving roads along one arc, from the Sudetes to the Bieszczady, and this book follows it. Ostrava has 34 of these roads within 150 km, Kraków 33, Katowice 31, Košice 25, Brno 17, Wrocław 16, Prague 15. Gdańsk has none within 300 km and its nearest is 426; Warsaw, Poznań and Berlin have none within 150. If you live in the north this is a holiday book and not a Sunday one, and the free sample draws all 66 on one map so you can see that before you pay.

03Sixty-six roads, not forty-four

Every other book in this series has forty-four. This one has 66 because it is three countries with three separate sets of mountains, and forty-four would have meant leaving out the Šumava or the Slovak Karst or the Bieszczady altogether. The split between the three followed the roads rather than a quota.

04Some of the best-known roads here are not drives

Morskie Oko, the Dunajec gorge road and Kráľova hoľa are all shut to private cars, and the book says so on the page of the road that passes their turning rather than quietly leaving them out.
