Poland is calling! Light spectacle on All Saints Day – Szczecin expects a rush!
Preparations for the upcoming long weekend are just around the corner and invite you to an exciting trip to Poland. It's especially exciting because many shops in Poland will remain closed on All Saints' Day, which is celebrated next Saturday, November 1st. Many enjoy this holiday to remember the deceased and visit the graves of their ancestors. This tradition transforms the cemeteries into impressive seas of lights, making a visit on this day a very special experience, even when the shops are closed. The reporting of the Northern Courier reports that public transport runs to the Szczecin Central Cemetery almost every minute and cafes, restaurants, gas stations and pharmacies remain open.
It becomes particularly noticeable on Friday, October 27th, Reformation Day, which is not a public holiday in Poland. This could be a good opportunity for travelers to take advantage of the hustle and bustle of the upcoming blue and white hustle and bustle and discover the peaceful side of the neighboring country. However, caution is advised as the main arteries could become crowded.
Traffic situation and congestion forecast
According to the information from ADAC Drivers have to expect more traffic, especially at the turn of the month. The autumn holidays are ending in five federal states - including Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg - which is likely to lead to an increase in short-term holiday traffic. In combination with the two public holidays (Reformation Day and All Saints' Day), this can lead to a lively travel activity.
Increased traffic is expected, particularly on the highways to and from the North and Baltic Seas, which could also affect trips to Poland. Drivers need to keep the most common traffic jam routes in mind, for example around the greater Hamburg area or on the climb to popular hiking destinations in the Alps. In addition, the A8 between Stuttgart and Munich will be completely closed from today until November 3rd - i.e. for everyone traveling on this route.
Important information for travelers
For anyone who wants to travel to Poland at the weekend, it is important to plan carefully the traffic jams and the closed parts of the city, especially in Szczecin (Stettin). Ku Slońcu Avenue, the access road from the Linken border crossing to the city center, remains open exclusively to public transport. A wide bypass of the cemetery is strongly recommended so as not to get in the way of the celebrations.
In conclusion, the upcoming holiday in Poland and the traditions associated with it provide an excellent opportunity for a trip. However, drivers should plan ahead to best cope with holiday traffic and closed shops. A good tip: stay informed about the traffic situation and enjoy the impressive sea of lights that illuminate the country at this special time.
