Every year on New Year’s Day, the popular route from Krakow to Bodale is congested due to the crowds of tourists who want to welcome the New Year under the Tatra Mountains. Last year’s New Year’s Eve was the exception due to Lockdown. At the time, epidemic controls made it impossible to rent shelters across the country. Nevertheless, some tourists came to the winter capital of Poland, but of course less than usual. Therefore, there is practically no traffic in Jakobiyanga.

On the last day of 2021, we decided to check out what the road from Krakow to Jakoben would look like.

Jogobianka on New Year’s Day – How does our road go?

A few days before the New Year, police said there was an increase in traffic on the roads leading to Jacobin. Asp. workers. Roman Vysorek, spokesman for the Jacobin Police, Encouraged the use of collective transport, especially on trains. – Trains are convenient, and there are long-distance connections from Gdansk or Warsaw to the Jakoben Center. This is definitely a better solution than standing in a traffic jam for 5-6 hours or more after the New Year celebration in Jakobiyanga. – He said in an interview with Onet Podróże.

We chose the bus and left Krakw train station at 7.40. There were few people at the station and the bus was almost empty. A few traveled to Jakobane, but some landed elsewhere along the way.

Halfway through, let’s see what the navigation says. Near Zakopane, there are red sections that say the road is congested.

– Also my request to everyone who goes to ski slopes or to the Jacobin Center. Use public transportation. Unfortunately, cars get stuck in traffic and the city has less capacity to get cars. If there are fewer cars, efficient communication will take everyone to that place – Wieczorek stressed.

The head of the Tatra Chamber of Commerce also pointed out communication problems.

– Two days before the New Year, communication problems began to appear, Within hours the whole city was at a standstill. On New Year’s Eve, the streets will be closed and car parking in the center will be disabled. In terms of communication I suspect it will be Armageddon – He agrees.
