By car in Zakopane - where to cross the border and what to prepare at customs?
We are thinking of going by car to Zakopane. Where is the best place for us to cross the border, and how long can this process take? Where would you advise to stay for an intermediate overnight stay (we are going from Kyiv)? Thanks!

When? On New Year's Day or on less hot days? If on ordinary days, not connected with NG, kat and our Christmas, then the border is no more than 3-4 hours, less than 2 is almost unrealistic. Sometimes there are days when you can stand at the border for 6-8 hours, but these are either holidays or some real problems, you can’t plan for this. On pre-holiday days, you need to count on 4-5 hours in line. Ours take money for skipping the line, but the Poles still have to stand.

The classic version of the border-Shegini. If you still decide to go on holidays, I recommend the very little-known crossing of Krostsenko (Ustishki-Dolni). Pluses, there are few people, both borders are passed together (on the Euro, it’s true, this was done on all borders with Poland), there are never gays. We use this checkpoint in May and passed the border in 1 hour when people stood at Shegini for 10 hours.
Cons - a very, very bad section of the road, about 15 km on the way from Sambir to the border (why you don’t need to go to Khirov, there in general, but first to Stary Sambir, then to the border). Poland is excellent.

We practice lodging for the night at the hotel at the very border, they are usually very cheap and you can always find out about the state of the queues and immediately plan the time for getting up. In exceptional cases, without an overnight stay, immediately in line! Early in the morning we plan to pass at five o'clock. Random tourists and other citizens will not go so early, but you will never guess with the locals ;-)
By the way, everything about the queue is, if there is, then mainly on the way there. Back queues are less likely. I have never had a single trip where I stood in line less than back.

We spend the night in Stry, hotel Sonyashnik.
On the passage of queues, hatinka wrote everything correctly.
Z.Y. Our easiest and fastest border crossing was on the night before Christmas. For us, the event is not fundamental at all, and the people, apparently, were trying to catch it either before, or had already postponed the move until after. Not a single person was at the border :)

Sorry, not Stry, but Skole.

As already mentioned above, it is better to cross through Kroshchenko (coordinates lat=49.4811384885, lon=22.7013424497), a little-known crossing, but it turns out to go quickly towards Poland. Just in case, take two packs of cigarettes and a liter of vodka for each adult, usually no trouble arises. Unfortunately, I can’t write anything about hotels, but in terms of distance it turns out to be somewhere around 1000 km, if you leave early in the morning, you can make it by late evening, depending on the speed of movement.

Thank you very much, everything is described in such detail! We are in a jeep and with children, so Ustrzyki Dolne looks like the best option.
Only Ustshiki-Dolne, not Ustishki :-) And then I searched and searched ...

Alena, do they let you cross the border without cigarettes and vodka? ;-)
If through Skole, then you get a detour of at least 60 kilometers https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%D0%9A%D0%B8%D1%97%D0%B2,+%D0%B3%D0%BE %D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4+%D0%9A%D0%B8%D0%B5%D0%B2,+%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8 %D0%BD%D0%B0&daddr=%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5,+%D0%9B%D1%8C%D0%B2%D0%BE %D0% B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C,+%D0% A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0+to:%D0%A3%D1%81%D1%82%D1%88%D0%B8%D0 %BA%D0%B8-%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B5,+%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C% D1%88%D0%B0+to:%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5,+%D0%9F%D0 % BE% D0% BB% D1% 8C% D1% 88% D0% B0 & hl = ru & ie = UTF8 & ll = 49.346599,24.642334 & spn = 4.129832,10.821533 & sll = 49.106242,23.972168 & sspn = 2.074939,5.410767 & geocode = FbTOAQMdCMDRASkFRVrhTs_UQDH-RgEX0jFJdg% 3BFVFF7AIdmstmASlPuUDDeSM6RzGB6e1hbbk9Yg% 3BFTQ_8gIdvcJYASk3wB15sfI7RzF9GsbzTdkdBQ %3BFe0-8AId-mcwASk5Oe-UkvIVRzGgpmtxoYeN3w&oq=%D1%83%D1%81%D1%82%D1%88%D0%B8 %D0%BA%D0%B8&mra=ls&t=m&z=7

Yes, of course ;-) Just in case, I wrote, you never know, it’s impossible to drink Polish vodka, but it’s better not to remember cigarettes at all :D so our people try to take it with them.

Drive through Lviv to Sambir, and from there to Kroshchenko. Old Sambir God forbid, leave the pendant in the pits.

I was just strongly advised not to go to Smilnytsia/Krostsenko from Sambir through Khirov. Namely, a detour to do through Stary Sambir. And in several places, people who passed here and there. The first ones who told about this transition and they have been driving like this for many years and traveled in different ways. But even when we were driving ourselves, we asked local taxi drivers, several of them, and everyone recommended that we go around the Sambir-Khirov section.
Perhaps you have more recent information - tell me in more detail. The last time I went there was in May 2011.

We were in the second half of October. We drove to Skhidnytsia, not knowing what kind of ass was waiting for us on the road, we went with the help of navigation on the regional route, it was already late and dark, I dismantled the Nagornoe sign and drove through Stary Sambir (now I understand that navigation is sometimes evil) a distance of 90-92 km, we drove in four hours, while almost leaving the suspension of an SUV in the pits, it’s still scary to remember. We returned through Truskavets, Drohobych and Khirov, relatively well, at least having made a small detour, we arrived much faster. We were advised by the locals. Maybe try asking someone else. In any case, I wish you good luck :-)

Excuse me, but where did you go to Skhodnitsa from?
аватар hatinka
I looked at the map. If you were going to Borislav along the ZHPS, and along the way you had Nagornoye, then you just drove along the Khirov-Sambir-Nagornoye-Borislav route. It was absolutely impossible for you to travel from Khirov to Stary Sambir via Nagornoe. No way. Therefore, I am inclined to think that now you have simply confused the city of Sambir with Old Sambir. It is still interesting to find out which road is on the Khirov-Sambor section, I have not been there and this particular section was strongly not recommended to me. Like, it's better to make a detour Sambir-Old Sambir-Khirov to get around. But there the road is also not so hot at all.

I'm looking at the map now and I can't figure out your way back. Although it is not clear where you were going and where you were returning
аватар alyona1177
We were driving just from Poland, to the Ukrainian Carpathians. Looking at the map ofigela, it turns out that our navigation led us to such gardens including Nagornoye, to Borislav and Skhidnytsia.On the Polish side, there were never any problems and the choice of route was not, Garmin is still not the worst option, but in Ukraine it did not grow together.
Judging by the map, you still have to go to Khirov, it seems that there is only one road to the border. Comparing, I can say that you can go only during daylight hours and probably still through Sambir, I won’t say that there is an autobahn :))), but you can drive.

The way back was from Skhidnitsa, through Truskavets and Drohobych to Sambir, from there to Khirov and to the border. I remember this for sure, the owner of the boarding house advised us so, and actually, I don’t regret it, we made a detour, but it was easier.
PS: We live in Poland.
аватар hatinka
Then it's clear;-)
I'm already trying to find out for myself. See. If you go from Kyiv, then in any way you will go both through Sambir and through Khirov. The question is, you need to go directly from Sambir to Khirov. As you advise. Or vice versa, go around the direct section of Sambir-Khirov. Through Old Sambir? It turns out a loop-Sambir, Old Sambir, Khirov. That's how they recommended me and we drove like that, traveled around the Sambir-Khirov section (I didn't go there).
And you, it turns out, passed both sections, right? And you advise not to go to Stary Sambir ... Do you think that Khirov-Stary Sambir is the worst section? Or not?
And it turns out that I deliberately made a detour in order to drive through the most killed section? If that's the case, then of course I'm dumb. But this is exactly what I was advised in several sources, acquaintances, taxi drivers, and I also read on the forum ...
But the road is bad there too.
аватар alyona1177
Well, what can I say, even if the roads are bad here and there, then why make a detour through Old Sambir? Believe me, the larger the city, the more often members of our precious gladness travel around it :-). That is, there is a chance that for themselves they will at least roll up something like a road. Sambir is a bigger city than its Old namesake.
аватар xeops
Oh, it's a pity that on Google Maps you can't see the state of the roads! Unless everything is so bad that cars are in ditches. :-)
аватар alyona1177
No, they don't lie :-) It's better to follow the rule: Prepare for the worst, hoping for the best)))
In any case, I wish you good luck!
