About Przewóz – Podrosche

Przewóz is a small village in Żary county on the Lusatian Neisse, in a wooded stretch of the borderland. Its bridge leads to Podrosche, part of the Saxon municipality of Krauschwitz in the Görlitz district. The crossing is open to cars in both directions and is purely local: it is used by people from nearby villages, cyclists on the riverside Neisse route and drivers who want a shortcut between Żary and the northern part of Upper Lusatia instead of detouring via the larger crossings.

Legally the same rules apply here as along the whole German border: it is an internal Schengen border with no routine passport control. At present, however, the shared border is covered by temporarily reintroduced controls – German since 2023 and Polish since July 2025, still in force in September 2026 – and at small crossings they look different from motorway checks: usually random patrols that pull over individual cars, sometimes a little way from the bridge. Read the current announcements before you set off, and keep your ID card or passport on you.

Queues in the usual sense are rare here, but the approach is on local roads, so your pace depends more on the weather and time of day than on the crossing itself. If you are continuing deeper into Germany, crossings with motorway access are more convenient: Olszyna–Forst to the north or Jędrzychowice–Ludwigsdorf to the south. For Bad Muskau, Łęknica is closer.

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.
