Sopot Travel Forum

I'm contemplating a detour to Sopot by car while spending some time in Kaunas. Could anyone tell me how reaslistic that would be? Michelin.com claims it's a 6 hr drive, but I have a feeling that's an underestimation. We're only in Lithuania for about 4 days. If we wanted to have a quick drive into Poland, any reccomendations on a nearby town ?(about an hour from Lithuanian border)
Thank you!

Suwalki is 22 km south of the border. Also there is Hitler's Bunker (Wolf's Lair) at Ketrzyn about 150 km away. A pleasant drive through forests and by lakes.

Thanks. I had thought about Suwalki and maybe taking the railroad from Sestokai. Thanks for the info about the bunkr too.

Hi Lee,

the Masurian Lakes area (roughly between Suwalki and Olsztyn) is already mentioned as I see. Other than that we could recommend the area around Bialystok, with the Bialowiesza National park (European bisons) and some nice village (with colourful wooden orthodox churches and houses) in between. Also the Biebrza River park should be a lovely place, it's even closer to Augustow/Suwalki.

Thanks Wietse & Baiba! That's some fantastic info - those wooden Orthodox churches sound lovely.
