Moving in Oleśnica
Oleśnica, a town with the Renaissance castle of the Dukes of Oleśnica and stretches of medieval walls, lies roughly 35 kilometres east of Wrocław. Since the S8 expressway and the town bypass opened, the drive takes about 40 minutes, and Oleśnica has become a popular choice for people who work in Wrocław. We carry out moving in Oleśnica with our own vehicles, without subcontractors, and with a crew that does the packing and unloading.
The S8 shortens the journey, the old town lengthens it
The route from Wrocław itself is straightforward: onto the S8 at Psie Pole or Długołęka, and off at one of the Oleśnica junctions. The challenge begins in the centre. The streets inside the old walls are narrow, some of them one-way, and there are hardly any places to stop a large vehicle. At locations like these, we arrive in a smaller vehicle or park on the nearest wider street and move things on transport trolleys.
The flats and houses we move in Oleśnica
Tenement buildings in the centre
Buildings by the market square and around the castle have steep stairs and narrow doors. We almost always take wardrobes and beds apart before carrying them out.
Estates of blocks
Blocks from the 1970s and 1980s, most of them without lifts. We work efficiently so as not to block the stairwell for the neighbours any longer than necessary.
Houses on the outskirts
New detached houses on the edge of town and in nearby villages such as Spalice or Ligota Wielka. More belongings, but easier loading.
Oleśnica as a destination for a move from Wrocław
More and more customers are selling their flat in Wrocław and buying a house or a bigger flat in Oleśnica. A move like this means coordinating two towns: in Wrocław, you often need permission to park in the paid parking zone, while in Oleśnica you need to make sure there is access to the new building. When moving two full properties' worth of belongings, we plan one trip with a large vehicle and, if needed, a second, smaller one for things from the cellar and balcony.
If you need a gap of a few weeks between selling and getting your new home, your belongings go to our warehouse in Wrocław. The details of packing and disassembly are described in our home moving section.

Moving from Oleśnica further across Poland
Oleśnica lies on the S8 towards Warsaw and on road no. 25 towards Kalisz, so we also handle moves from here to central Poland. On longer trips, the whole load travels in one vehicle, and we agree the delivery time the day before. If you are changing jobs and homes at the same time, we can suggest how to spread the packing over a few afternoons.
