The taxi in Poland is relatively cheap: approximately €1.20 per km. The E30 runs directly from the Netherlands to Greater Poland. From Amsterdam, the A1 will at some point become E30.
By bus
There are regular bus services, and there are train replacement bus services. The train replacement bus services run on routes where trains used to run, but now buses. The timetable can be found on the Deutsche Bundesbahn travel planner. The buses stop at the former train station, and therefore do not arrive at bus stations. These bus services are generally not known at the bus stations.
on foot
Through this region runs the European walking route E11. This route runs from the Hague to the east, currently the border Poland/Lithuania. A large part of the route in this region can be found on Waymarkedtrails.org and comes on site from Stare Gorzycko in the region lubusz. Miedzychod is the first somewhat larger place. The route then goes through Bielsko, Ławicá, Góra, Sieraków, Piaski, Bucharzewo, Bukowar, Pustelnia, Chojno-Młyn, Chojno Błota and Mokrz until the route arrives at the somewhat larger town of Wronki. From there, the route continues via Obrzycko, Słopanowo, Kobylniki, Twardowo, Szczuczyn, Szamotuły, Kepa, Baborówko, Pamiątkowo, Krzyszkowo, and Starzyny to the Kiekrz district in Poznan. Up to Wronki, outside the villages and towns, the route is mostly on unpaved roads and trails. A number of villages are (still) only accessible by unpaved road.East of Pozna the route continues for a long stretch through a suburban area, with relatively many ribbon buildings up to the historic city of Gniezno. After gniezno a number of small towns follow until the village of Trzemezno. Just north the route continues in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.
