Two borders away
These 20 countries border a neighbour of Poland but not Poland itself, so you cross exactly two borders to reach them by land.
Think you know your neighbours?
Border Chain gives you two countries and you connect them by naming neighbours, one border at a time. A new puzzle every day.
How far are you from Poland?
On a phone this uses GPS. The calculator opens with Poland already selected and measures the straight-line distance to its nearest border.
