Highway Imbis - Legnica

I have no idea what the real of this place is, but they have Coca Cola and Polish Dania Gorace, Slodycze, Napoje, Piwo, Kawa and Herbata.

The TV aerial looks promising (and so does the new stone building that is under construction).

Behind one of the windows "24" is displayed (to indicated a 24/7 service?).

Legnica : Polish Railtrack...

I find train is very reliable in reaching some great destinations in this part of Poland. Although in some cases, you have to book ahead or rather buy the ticket early on.
In Legnica, the train & the bus station are next to each other : On the north-eastern edge of the city. There are frequent train departures to Wroclaw, 75 km.
The buses are more convience to nearby destinations such as Jelenia Gora (61km), Swidnica(56 km) & Klodzko (126 km)...
There are 2 trains a day to Wroclaw & 1 train a day to Franfurt, Germany,... 1 train a day to Leipzig & 3 trains a day to Dresden.

I took my 3 am, Saturday morning train to Berlin from Legnica..after disappointedly could not get any seat to Berlin from Wroclaw!
So, being in Legnica was really a blessing in disguise !
The photo on the left was taken from my train on my way to reach Berlin !
