Best route to Poland
Discussion
I'm driving to Poland again on Thursday, and I always take the A2 via Hannover and Berlin.
However, I see that you are heading for Wroclaw, and the route via Leipzig & Dresden appears more direct, although I see that google maps only shows a 12km difference between routes.
I have never driven the southerly route so can't tell you if it is good or bad, but I have never had any bad experiences going via Berlin.

Hi all. I am driving to Poland on Monday the 18th. Google maps has shown three possible routes. Which one is best?
Dunno. Suggest have a look on http://www.autobahn-online.de/ and sortout which of the autobahns are three lane and which are only two lane.
Suggest use the three lane. When a Polish lorry pulls out unexpectedly,
it gives you more room.
From memory, the section from Aachen to Koln is mostly four lanes wide each
way no limits. 150 mph no problem - but you'll have the world and his
wife queueing up to get past.

The Autobahns are wider, newer and quiter in old East Germany. It's where the money was spent after reunification.
A2 Hannover is mostly 2-lane carriageway. And as previously stated Antwerp is best avoided at rush hour.
Search BFBS you'll find the frequncies for the British Forces radio station. English language radio from the Belgian border to well past Hannover.

Another 1 here who would avoid Antwerp at peak times
Also if you want some decent grub on the road in Germany, instead of the motorway services, pull off at any exit with signs for a 'autohof' as these are German truckstops and normally very, very good.
Most are just off the the motorway and always well signed.
