About Jędrzychowice – Ludwigsdorf

Jędrzychowice–Ludwigsdorf is the A4 motorway crossing right next to Zgorzelec and Görlitz. On the Polish side the motorway runs past Bolesławiec and Legnica to Wrocław; in Germany it carries on as the A4 towards Dresden. The crossing handles cars in both directions, although on an ordinary day it is dominated by transit trucks. It is the obvious choice for drivers from Lower Silesia, the Opole region and Upper Silesia heading to Saxony or further into western Germany.

Formally this is an internal Schengen border, with no passport booths and no routine clearance. Checks are nonetheless under way: as of September 2026, both Germany and Poland are running temporary, selective controls on this border, and on the A4 officers often direct chosen vehicles into lay-bys or exits beyond the border line – even occasional stops like these quickly lengthen the tailback. Read the latest announcements before travelling and keep your passport or ID card within reach. Cars use German motorways free of charge – there are no vignettes or toll booths.

Traffic towards Germany usually peaks at the start of long weekends and school holidays, and in the other direction at their end; on normal weekdays the trucks set the pace. When the A4 gets congested, anyone going only to Görlitz can cross in town at Zgorzelec–Görlitz, while drivers bound for Cottbus or Berlin are better off taking the A18 and the Olszyna–Forst crossing. The live board above shows the current situation.

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.
