I can only comment on Poland; I've not yet been to the others. For me, Southern Poland was the more picturesque. Depending on what you'd like to see, Aushwitz is definitely worth a visit. Not a nice place to see, but an important one. Although I never went that far south, the southern boarder is supposed to be picturesque. I liked Krakov as well. I spent a great day just wandering around and looking at the sites. The other place I found to be very interesting to visit was Gdansk in the north. Lots of history with the docks. It was more interesting than I 'm making that sound! I didn't 't do any off roading, but I never travelled on what I would call a motorway either. The further north I got, the more the scenery seemed to become a little more bland. But hey, that happens everywhere at some point! I really enjoyed the country, and I never once saw another ''"Western"' biker. The whole trip was quite an experience!
