About Gubin – Guben
Gubin and Guben were a single town until 1945, when the new border along the Lusatian Neisse split it in two: the Polish half belongs to the Lubusz region, the German half to Brandenburg's Spree-Neiße district. The crossing runs over a river bridge and is open to cars in both directions. Most of its users are residents of the two towns, crossing for work, school or shopping, along with drivers from around Krosno Odrzańskie and Zielona Góra heading towards Cottbus.
The Polish-German border is an internal Schengen border, so there are no passport booths and no systematic passport checks. Both sides are, however, currently running temporary border controls (as of September 2026) – Germany since October 2023, Poland since 7 July 2025 – and a patrol may pull a car over at random in Gubin itself or on the approach to the bridge. Before you set off, look at the latest announcements from the Polish Border Guard and the German Federal Police (Bundespolizei). Always carry a passport or national ID card, even for a quick trip to the other half of town. Motorways in Germany are toll-free for cars.
Because traffic is mostly local, delays tend to follow the morning and afternoon commute and Saturday shopping rather than the holiday season. If the bridge is crowded or checks are running, the Olszyna–Forst motorway crossing to the south or Świecko–Frankfurt (Oder) to the north are sensible alternatives. Their current times appear in the Polish-German border overview, and conditions in Gubin on the live board on this page.

Calculated for a car at 7,0 L/100 km, petrol 95 at the country average on the day of calculation. Substitute your own consumption — the whole formula is here.
A road charge is counted only where the route actually uses a toll road. A vignette is always counted, because in many countries it is required on ordinary roads too.
Where a drive uses a toll motorway, the barrier toll for that section is included in the figure, at the price the road operator publishes for it. A vignette is a flat national price.
