How to get to our base from Warsaw:

1. via Modlinska St (Route 61) – there are two roundabouts, on each of them you need to take the 1 st exit – thus you will get to Legionowo – drive through the town and after about 12 km you’ll find yourself at Zegrze, 2. via Siekierkowski Bridge – Marsa St. – Zolnierska St (route 631) – through a wood (about 18 km) to Nieporet where you cross the Kings Canal – at the roundabout just after that take 2 nd exit onto lakeshore drive – at the next roundabout take 1 st exit towards Zegrze, 3. via Solidarnosci Alley – through Marki until you pass a church on the right and see a bridge – turn left onto route 631 to Nieporet and Zegrze (which, in fact, means that you have to turn RIGHT and then RIGHT once again to get onto the bridge), 4. via Polczynska St (along the Kings Canal) take Modlinska St – turn right just after the BP gas station – drive straight to Nieporet – at the roundabout on the lakeshore take 3 rd exit onto lakeshore drive – at the next roundabout take 1 st exit towards Zegrze. No matter which of the routes listed above you choose, finally you’re going to get to the bridge at Zegrze – turn right onto the very first road after the bridge and drive straight about 900 m until you pass skaters playground. Turn right and drive down the hill towards the gate of the WDW Rynia marina.
